What's everyone up to right now?

They offered me a publishing deal!

Granted, it's a small outfit with a small stable of writers, but this is more than I expected from a first attempt. Turns out they'd mislabeled my manuscript and ended up reading it immediately rather than putting it at the end of the line. That's one administrative error that I don't mind.

Congrats, Esq, that's awesome!!

Taking a quick break at work. I'm very very angry with a colleague who has been acting stroppy all week because I was put on safe duty for a few days while our team leaders weren't here and he wasn't. Anyway, I had been laughing off the way he'd been making comments about every little thing I had been doing, because he's a grown man acting like a 5 year old who hasn't gotten his own way, and there's no point getting upset over something so pitiful. Today, however, I find out he's made an official complaint about myself and a colleague I asked to help do some things you need two people for. That in itself, would add to my amusement, but the email he has sent to the manager and team leaders is actually full of untrue shit, like, he says we went out to collect the money from the toilet turnstiles when there was a massive queue, when in fact, we went when there was no queue, and made barrier staff and the duty manager aware as we were leaving that we were going at that time as there were no queues and that they should call us if they saw a queue before we came back (we were gone 10 minutes each time). Each time we came back, there had been no queues while we were gone either, so there was no issue with the time we went. But this moron I work with decided to be a petty fucker and write his stupid email, and fuck he's going to regret it.

Firstly, my manager seems to be on our side in this, and told me he'd speak to the guy on Monday. He also told me that the duty manager from those days had actually sent him an email on Wednesday saying what a good job Eileen and I had been doing. Oh, and he's going to check the CCTV to confirm whether or not we left when there was a massive queue. So he's only got himself in trouble now.
He's the biggest fucking hypocrite in the world, too. When there is disruption and we have a massive queue of angry commuters who want to know what's going on, he fucks off and disappears for however long every fucking time, and every day he takes like 3 15-20 minute toilet breaks, or if there's just a long queue he'll Sometimes disappear for a while then, too. But as soon as anyone else leaves their window even for a second and there's only one or two people waiting he'll have a go at you telling you to get back on your window. I dunno who the fuck he thinks he is, but I'm not going to put up with it from now on at all.
Another thing he does that really winds everyone up, is if someone isn't here at the exact time their shift starts, he'll call our control centre and report them for being late, but when he's half an hour late himself, that's fine. Can't fucking stand the hypocrisy of the cunt.
I didn't even do anything to him, he's just a jealous wanker who decided to take issue with me having responsibilities that he wanted for himself. This is the same guy who applied for a job as an information controller, and when this girl got it, who has been working in our control centre for years, and so clearly would have had the required skills, he started a nasty rumour that she only got the job by shagging someone.

Now, I'm going back to work. Ciao.

You give him hell, Nora!

I've been feeling really down in the dumps lately, especially due to me not sleeping properly for a couple of week. My highlight of the week was today, when I got to spend times with my Neffies. We went on a bike hike, searched for a Geocache, watched Cars, read stories and played Rayman Legends on the PS3. It took me only 10 minutes to get them to sleep! Fun though it has been, tomorrow I need to recover from this ordeal by going to work

Drinking coffee and relaxing. I went to my first appointment with a vocational rehabilitation counselor on Wednesday, only to be told that I had been assigned to the wrong place and would have to go to a different employment center. Oh well. It's actually less convenient to go to the center they're sending me to, two buses instead of one, but I have no choice. My sleep hasn't returned to what it was before the lamotrigine in early February, so I'm worried my depression is settling in again this year, and I won't have the gumption necessary to pursue a career at school. On the plus side, during this delay of my first appointment, my confidence is increasing.

Reading, learning and thinking all at once. It's hard.

My allergies aren't as bad today as they were the rest of the week, and the same is true of my TMJ pain. My mother got me a mouth guard I am supposed to wear as often as possible, but it just opens my mouth up enough to where it hurts continuously, so I didn't wear it when I went to sleep last night. Think I'll be in trouble if I tell my mom that?

EDIT: Yay, I have a nice even number of Rep points! NOBODY GIVE ME MORE REP POINTS OR YOU'LL RUIN IT.

YOU FUCKING BASTARD!

On my way home and still fuming about that guy. Another colleague of mine pointed out that he probably hasn't mentioned in his email that I started early, worked through my break, and finished late for all 3 days. Nope. Wanker.
