Another week in paradise

I don't know where the week went. It seemed to disappear before my eyes. We have been so busy I barely have time to visit the 'Ladies'.

It's a combination of reasons. We have more investigators in the field, hence the increased case load. And we are losing cleared employees. This past week we lost our Training Department head. His reason for leaving? He wanted to spend more time with his baby daughter. Working 14 hour days was taking away his family time. I don't blame him one bit. We have new intermediate management coming into place and I wonder how that will work. We get one man acquainted with the scheme of things and his replacement appears and now we have to break him in. You know, I have been tempted to start looking for another job but it really is funny when I think about it. I don't like what I see? Wait a week or two - it will change.

My boss has been given a lot more reports to produce and of course, that stuff rolls downhill. On Thursday I was assigned a 3 day task to be completed in 12 hours. Made me mad, but I did it. As a thank you for my coming back into the office one afternoon (Because the VP had forgotten a meeting at 9:00AM the next day and needed a briefing made and printed)I was allowed to end my day yesterday at noon. My workmate, Jennie, and I went to the Conference Center where a training class is in session to bid our farewells to the Training Coordinator. It was his last day and we had lunch with him and spent an hour so Jennie could wrap up all the loose ends because they haven't found his replacement.

I've been doing a lot of shopping online this year. I've been out only once and that was to Target. I didn't plan the day very well because I got there around 2:00 in the afternoon. As I mentioned previously, it wasn't a pleasant experience. I have some things I have to get that require me going to the mall. I'll do that next week and I'll be there when the doors open. In and out and get it over with.

I've been feeling good with minimum back pain. If I can relax at work and not let the stress get to me, my back is better. I try, on a daily basis. LOL

God bless you all.
