SickCame home sick from work yesterday after a half day and passed out. Guess I needed the rest. I feel somewhat better today, but I think that's because I am aggressively drugging my symptoms (feel the buzz - wheeeee!) Kitty's got the same stuff coursing through her veins too, poor thing. WorkWork has been going well. I've been concentrating more on consistency and succeeding admirably, as my stats show for the last 3 weeks since my review. I was hoping to take this improvement in stats and attitude into an interview for another position soon. But as I found out yesterday, my supervisor didn't submit my name and scheduling for testing and interviews has been closed. This is only the second time in nine months these positions have been opened for hire. I am not happy in the slightest about this, as can be imagined. It's not that I think I had a chance at the positions: I don't, considering my performace of late. But not submitting my name for consideration makes it look like I'm not even trying anymore. HomeLife has been settling down the tiniest bit from the Holidaze and other monumental events of the last 2 months. Enough that the household has realized the need for more stringent scheduling. Of almost anything. Trying to keep everyone and everything in the house clean, watered, fed, groomed, healthy, paid, organized and paid attention to is a big chore with five people and a goofy dog. I think we'll manage, though. Like everything else, it's just a matter of balance and patience. SmokingSmoking sucks. I don't like it anymore. Its a horrible addiction. But I'm fighting it. And I think I'm winning. I started cutting back a while ago, like November. I've cut back from almost two packs a day to my current consumption level of 4-7 smokes a day. Now comes the fun part: cutting that to nothing. Goal date: January 31. Nothing else I can think of babbling about right now. I'm sure I'll babble later, though.

Work went well today. That's nice because yesterday sucked major donkey butt. Typical Woes of the Call Center employee, nothing special. Work is going well in general. That a very good thing because I managed to slack enough between Sept-Nov to bring my numbers 'below expectation.' Signing my Review that day SUCKED, I can tell you. Maybe not as much as being roasted in the depths of the Slor, but it was pretty bad. Regardless, since getting my Review I have adjusted my attitude and polished my stats. I'm just praying I'll be in a different department in 45-90 days. Still have shopping to do. Now I remember why it was so easy to forgo Christmas last year. I hate shopping. I like the making someone else happy with stuff part. It's the getting the stuff part I hate. Next year I'm going to do it a little different. For one, I'm planning on saving my Quarterly Bonuses from work in a Christmas Club account. And second, I'm going to start shopping a couple months earlier so I can do most of it online. I'm still all squishy about our new family, especially now during the Holidaze. It's heartwarming to feel pride and purpose and joy about Christmas, as I haven't in ages. Not since before my grandmother died, come to think of it. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that one some more later. For now, it's just nice to be...family.
