I agree with Gayle, Diana! Keep your head up and get through this, and things will be getting back to normal. I'm glad the kids will be getting what they want!


Well, last night was awkward. I met with Scott's friend's girlfriend for supper. I think I've mentioned her before, she did a party last year for some cosmetics and I felt really pressured to buy but didn't. The stuff is way too overpriced, and I've tried it and am not super impressed. Anyways, I thought we'd get to know each other and just have a nice friendly meal. But conversation turned to her company pretty quickly, and all the perks, and how I'd fit in so well with her "team" blah blah blah... she got Tiffany's jewelry for a bonus at Christmas and she should be getting a Mercedes in August I don't buy it, and I'm not comfortable with it. I'm just too nice to say it straight to her face. She tried SO HARD to recruit me and it was getting pretty awkward. She wants me to go to a conference with her on Saturday, and I still need to decline. This morning she had sent me a message on facebook to tell me she can't stop thinking about how well I would fit with the company! I HATE THAT! Can't we just be normal friends?

Anyways, I'm also really stressed out with work, again. I worked a lot of overtime last week, worked on my stat holiday this week, worked through my lunch break today.... I was JUST getting ready to leave, thinking I'd be sneaky and leave immediately after handing my prints in, but I was just putting on my jacket when I got called in the board room There were changes. My car had been running for 15 minutes already, warming up. So I turned my computer back on, started my program back up, did the changes, closed it, and handed it in. Wait, those changes aren't good enough... so I had to go back and do it all again. By the time I left my car had been running almost an hour and I was ready to cry. I just got home and I have about 4 or 5 hours of work ahead of me tonight, and a full day again tomorrow. I have been holding back tears all day at work and now that I can let them go, I just feel too exhausted to cry. I want my life back. 5 more months and I'll be back from Europe and I can quit this job.
