mousmeWell, a free Christmas dinner (lunch?) compliments of our Marketing Department has certainly helped my morale.
Everyone in my training class agreed with me that my suspension was ridiculous in light of the "seriousness" or lack thereof of the offense. I mean, anyone but this particular instructor would have disregarded ONE MINUTE of being late. She's just a bitch with a ten-foot-pole jammed up her arse. I am not the only one who holds this view.
Anyhoo, I'm not thrilled, but I'll get over it. Discussed it with Fire, and came to the conclusion that after nearly ten months without a break, I am in dire need of a vacation. Sadly I won't be getting one for at least another three months if I get one at all thanks to my company's policy of "We'll give you vacation time if we don't need you answering calls. If you don't get vacation time we'll give you financial compensation."
*sigh*
Every time I ask for time off they tell me there's none available "this month."
I really desperately need some "me" time, or else I'll start to self-destruct again. The last time I went without holidays for an extended period of time (36 months, as I recall) I went on the worst downswing into depression in my life, started self-injuring again and very nearly committed suicide on multiple occasions. I don't need to revisit that period of my life, thank you very much. X(
Bleh.
Still, am feeling much better with food in my stomach. May check out Fire's hairdresser tonight who's opened up a new salon near Aveda on St. Laurent corner of Prince Arthur, if my information is correct. I need a trim anyway, and I think I'll do another green job on my hair sometime soon.
