Yeah. To be fair, she's good in a pinch and works late herself, but tends to fret and nanny other people for stuff while dragging things out on her own responsibilities. And I do not report to her; we're at the same level on the org chart and she's the full time employee with least seniority in this office.
Of course, I wasn't having any of it last week, knowing that I could get the work done in normal business hours. She stopped by Wednesday to tell me it was OK if some stuff wasn't finished til the next day, and I barely held back from saying aloud "I wasn't asking for permission to clock out for the day, I was telling you that I'm doing so."
OMG!!
Um, the written job offer is in. and um. It's for $15K more than my minimum, which JESUSITA! can you say debt free living in 6 months.
Yay! Awesome news, msbelle!
That is AWESOME, msbelle!
Whoo, msbelle! Congratulations!

msbelle, that's totally awesome!
ION, they're sending us home at 2 pm today: turns out there's an Occupy protest and march targeting my organization. Which, I gotta say? Is not really a logical target, given that our role in the issue they're protesting is really tangential (it's got to do with the longshoremen's union up in WA state).
I don't mind going home early: maybe I can go to Trader Joe's!
Hooray, msbelle!
We drove two hours out to Tehachapi (which turns out to be a totally charming little town in the middle of the desert) AND WE HAVE A NEW PUPPY! It was very hard to choose him out of the pile of 9 adorable puppies, but we managed the herculean task. We also mt the mom, a large and friendly yellow lab and saw pix of the dad, a standard poodle. The seven-year-old daughter of the house was very helpful in the process and these puppies have clearly been very well loved.
He is a boy with black wavy hair, huge paws and big floppy ears. We named him Chet and get to bring him home in three weeks. Yay!
