So 2018 has been ok so far.

I'm getting stressed with some stuff being piled onto me at work. Have to do a daily report now through Excel as well as a weekly and monthly report. I have to be more "strict" towards my direct reporting agents. Thankfully I only have like 6 actual people I'm in charge of for 2nd shift compared to my boss having like 15 for first shift. I'm hoping I'm not given any other bullshit to handle. I'm still handling emails queues even though I was told I shouldn't have that responsibility to worry about during evening on top of other things. We'll see. 

Still haven't gotten my raise. It's like I was brought in to the company for less money than the initial hires for the project. Then even after a year raise, I still didn't make as much as an initial hire and now I'm a manager on top of all of that at the same pay. I'm supposed to get a raise but I haven't heard back. Besides my reports, email queue, answering annoying questions and whatever else, I can be pretty lazy at work and know nearly everything for a few of the lines of business. Thats why I'm too content / haven't pushed myself to look for another job. People respect me and I'm generally happy. I'm afraid of starting all over again but at some point I will when I get tired of enough of the oddball bullshit here and there or watch the project burn to the ground. But I've dealt with some very toxic environments when I first came to NC in the work place and this place is so generally chill and accepting of me.

 Yesterday and today I didn't go to work because it was a snow day. I tried to go today but the roads were bad and my Escape was sliding even at times. I'm like fuck it, went to go get some food and came home and made Grilled Cheese sandwiches for my room mates all working from home. They have more respectable jobs but were at one point where I am now. I'll move up someday.

I joined a Dodgeball team. Its about 95% full on gay guys. I had never seen so many guys wearing leggings in a general area before xD I kinda clicked with one of the guys at the last hang out because we do go out to eat and drink after. I'm still shy / quiet and the only girl on that team. But the guys are funny and I don't mind being a bystander till we get to know each other better. I just hope they accept me. But they are all pretty friendly and have started to tell me more about their grindr adventures among other things.

I haven't kept to my diet lately. The snow just makes me want hot coco and sammiches and oatmeal / other cozy simple warm foods. I should try to get back into it next week. Or at least go work out regularly which I would have gone today being off work if it wasn't for the snow...

I'm gonna feel like shit in March when we go on the cruise if I don't get back on my diet / go to the gym. 

Tomorrow is Friday! I think the roads are clear enough for everyone to return to work and I'll just be ecstatic to get through the day because Saturday I have plans to go to Greensboro with my roomies and Adam to celebrate my birthday early. We're going to Edward Mckays which is a huge bookstore / dvd's / games etc. mostly used but they have new stuff too sometimes. Its like a Rasputin. If Rasputin still exists? Then we may go to a sushi buffet or something idk yet and then the BoxCar at that location which has newer arcades games than the one closer to us. I want to be there midday so that it's not overcrowded. It'll be about a 2 hour drive to there @__@

Wednesday, I'm trying to see if I can take the day off for my birthday just because, if I have to work it, oh well. But I was planning on working out and just pampering myself after.

Until I next time return to this blog (with Photobucket refusing to link photos now) see ya.
