Work – an update worth reading
I ended up telling my one supervisor I was pregnant. The supervisor that has been honest with me about the crap going on around here and how poorly this business unit is doing. Well last Thursday I was advised that my name was on the list to be let go. WTF! Not something I needed to hear. Ok, when would the shit hit the fan? January! Yikes! Like that would be easy to look for a job when I just start to show.
In the meantime I had already met with a recruiting company and they called me later that same day. We submitted you with X company and they want to interview you tomorrow. Can you make it. Hell ya! Fast forward to Monday, I had the interview on Friday and the offered me the job! Oh ya oh ya! I’m siked. So I put me two weeks notice in and I am outta here! One stress over-loader off my back!
His Poor Poor Car
Yesterday someone rear-ended my husband. HE IS OK. Just a bit pissed off. As anyone would be. To make matters worse, there is something going on this Sunday that is all about cars and I’m sure having his car to take there is important. Well that might not happen now as it may go into the shop before then. It is drivable right now, but he wants to get it fixed ASAP. He loves his car and doesn’t want it too be all banged up.
This is to the guy in the Ford Ranger that was in front of my husband – YOU ARE AN IDIOT! – I’m not going to get into it…sorry.
And to the guy that hit my husband – shit happens, we know you did not mean it. Your 20 apologizes prove that.
The police officer gave my husband a choice. 1. Driver exchange of information and his (the driver that hit my hubby) insurance is responsible to pay for the damages (there still is a case number with this). OR 2. Full police report and the driver that hit him will get a citation and his (the driver that hit my hubby) insurance is responsible to pay for the damages. My husband is a good guy. He could have “stuck it to em” and have the guy receive a citation, but he didn’t.
Then there was me, 30 mins away on my way in to work, with heavy congestion and bumper to bumper traffic, as with stop and go. There was one moment when I had to break really hard and I got a weird sense like someone rear-ended me, but I didn’t feel anything, nor did the car behind me really hit me. It was before my husband got hit and I know it was a type of premonition. Whether you believe in that or not, I do and have these all the time. It is knowing how to handle them that is important. Sometimes they are hard to “read” and know who, what or where. One of these have saved me from being T-boned on my way to drop my son off at day care one morning. I will have to go in to more detail about that one later. But I truly believe in these.
So it is a day later and life will go on.
To all the comments
Thank you to all whom have left comments for me these last two weeks. It really helps to have others share a little in to their experiences to help me feel more comfortable and better.
I made the decision this week to tell my supervisor. My supervisor is very happy for me and I feel ok with my job status. Whatever road I may have to travel, I know it will work out in the end. I don’t want to stress about it.
Work Dilemma
So I have a dilemma at work. When do I tell my coworkers and my supervisor I am expecting. However there is a twist. I was told about 3 or 4 weeks ago that my business unit is not doing very well, we are in the real estate and development industry…need I say more. So there are going to be some layoffs. Well, I just recently found out that either my co-worker “P” or I will be cut. “P” told our supervisor it makes more sense that she be the one that is let go. Why? She explained that I do more of the day to day work and that she would be lost doing what I do. Plus she said that she would not work for that new manager. She is not currently looking, but she is waiting to be laid off and receive a good severance package. Which she most likely would with having been at the company for 15 years. She is also bored and ready to move on. She more so enjoys property management accounting and not the real estate accounting that we do now. With me expecting that makes me feel better and that she is not only saying that because I’m pregnant. Yet, I do not know if I say something now or later when the risk of miscarriage goes down, in like 8 weeks. Boy that is a very long time to wait and it is so hard. I didn’t say anything all week and was on the brink twice and held my breath and said wait. When should I tell? I’m so confused.
The sex of a baby
How do you feel about finding out the sex of your baby before it is born? I can’t wait that long, plus I like to plan and be prepared. I’ve only known a feel people who don’t want to know until the baby is born. Why? I can’t understand, nor will I ever try.
When I was pregnant with my son we found out the sex at 20 weeks. My husband, mom, and step daughter were all in the room. The nurse scanned my belly faster then you can ask “what’s the sex.” She told us with out a doubt you are having a boy. He was in no way hiding his little manliness. She said she saw the turtle, you figure that out. My son was legs spread; here I am mommy and daddy, your never modest son! My hubby and I said yeah, and called his name out while my step daughter exclaimed “all man, I wanted a baby sister!” Oh well, girls will be girls, she loves her brother and all is well.
Paranoid over the littlest things
Ok, so I feel much better today, still a little tired, but over all well rested from my day off. Haven’t had any morning sickness and my breasts are not as tender as they have been. Yes, I am paranoid. I want everything to be ok. I don’t have my first prenatal visit until the 13th of next month. As long as I don’t have any major complications they said that far out for an appointment is ok. Besides they usually don’t see you until close to your 8th week, so they say. Just a bit of history on why I am just a little paranoid. This is my third pregnancy, and I only have one child. Yes, I lost my first at 11 weeks. That was the worst thing I had to go through. It would have been my first child, I do miss the baby at times. Like twice a year, when the due date was and when I miscarried. However, had that not have occurred I would not have my son who I adore. Things happen for a reason and I know things worked out for the best. But I don’t think I will ever forget. Anywhoo, I shouldn’t stress too much, I’m not having the same complications now as I did then. And I really should be thankful I feel good, stop complaining that I don’t feel like crap. Ok, that makes more sense, be thankful I’m not feeling icky and tired. Alright then. Until next time…read on!
Morning sickness has come
I’m at home, not only was I exhausted when I got up this morning, but I felt like my throat was getting sore. Several people have been sick at work the last few weeks and I didn’t want to be sick. As I was in the shower I began to feel nausea creeping up. Ok, that was the last sign for me to stay home. After laying in bed for another hour I began to feel better. I could do work now. NOT!
Here I go again. My pregnancy with my son I lost weight in my first trimester, and got a good talking to by my doctor. However, it all changed in my 4th or 5th month. Oh yeah, the cravings kick in. I think this one could be similar, I have the nausea creeping in here and there. Anyone with some good ideas to help with that? I’m dreading fixing my son some lunch as I don’t want to smell food right now. Ok, reheat the mac-n-cheese and hold my nose. I can do this. This is going to be a challenge with having a kid now.
I’m going to share my stories as the months progress. Bear with my ramblings and me being all over the place. Until next time…read on!
If you haven’t heard…
Yes, my hubby and I are expecting. We are very excited and you can read more here.
Musical Beds
Just a brief glimpse in to the night at our house.
Husband falls asleep on the couch (I’m sure)
Husband gets in to bed by 2:00am (he is lucky)
Wife wakes by snoring husband and can’t fall back asleep
Wife retreats to the couch
After an hour wife can’t sleep on couch, returns to bed, wait…
Son is now in her bed with husband
Wife then retreats to sons bed.
Can you see why I am dragging ass today!
Someone pinch me…Am I dreaming
HOLY SHIT! Someone needs to pinch me. I went to that new manager and told him the new codes were not working. I about fainted, he listened and then agreed! As to quote a good friend of mine: “I am grinning like a jackass eating sandspurs right now! hehehehehe
” Who says telling it like it is and putting it all out on the table doesn’t work. It did today! Let’s see what happens next.
