though i just came off of a 3 day july 4th weekend i do not feel rested at all. i'm a walking disater....not getting enough sleep, anxious, unfocused, and generally a miserably stressed girl. so in an effort to recharge and refuel my drained body and mind i have requested 2 days off...this friday and monday to be exact....hoping to come back as a new woman!
well, i submitted my request to VP and he replied back that it was fine as long as i check my email during my hiatus? not a joke.
seriously?
a similar incident happened during a hiatus in may when i was in charlotte getting my learning on. director (before she got canned) called me a good 3 times while i was on vacation. seriously? has the definition of personal time changed and i was unaware?
is this really my job?

budget cuts
director got cut yesterday.
laid off.
let go.
fired.
the reasoning was budget cuts, but something in my spirit does not wholly accept that answer. in recent months, there have been so many instances of director's ineminent dismissal (removal of authority, scret meetings, arguments, etc.). something in the milk ain't clean.
it's so funny; she annoyed the shit out of me, but i'm really sad that she was let go and i genuinely wish her the best. honestly, this is for the best. i mean, no one liked her and she knew it; what a sucky workplace for her to be in.
anyway, our supervisor, VP, held a meeting to break the news to us and left us with the message that we are a family and that he guaranteed that no one else would be let go...i guess director was not part of the family.
stay fab!

micro management
so i came into work today prepared to actually do work, but everyone seems to be taking over...so f*** it...
to clarify, i work in a micro managed office. directors and supervisors neglect their own jobs and get in my kool aid. for example, let's say my student emails my director. rather than forward the email to me, director will respond to the email, cc me on the email, then email me stating that she responded to the email. wtf? even fellow admissions counselors are getting in on the fun. in an email, which included the other counselors, director asked me to be the point person for an assignment. but another counselor took it upon herself to do the task without even letting me know...so whatev....if they wanna do extra shit then let them do extra shit...their salary ain't gonna be increased (please excuse my profane language...i try not to cuss, but this shit is going to another level).
so anyway, work is the pits so in situations like this i like to work on self-improvement; my own personal betterment! my sister teases me and says that my blog should now be a hair and fitness blog because that's all i talk about!
remember when i was through with the salons? well, i'm still through and have been managing my hair myself and let me say...it ain't bad. i do my own relaxers, washes, everything...it's all me!
and i have noticed a difference! though gaining length wasn't my initial goal, i have noticed some length as well as stronger hair. my secret is deep conditioner. i do it every time i wash...it's time consuming but it's worth it...my hair is no longer see through!
as far as fitness goes...i have been slacking lately. because of work and writing essays and other stuff i haven't had much time for the gym, but this month i'm focused to get back on track!
i am planning several summer getaways so that means getting the body right! so i'm back to lunchtime AND after work sweat sessions. kinda extreme, i know.
another thing that keeps my spirits up when work is KILLING me is music. let me tell you, the song "Blame it" by Jamie Foxx and T-Pain is my morning drive wake up song.
i can't be unhappy when this song comes even if i tried....sometimes i just have to close my office door and booty pop for a mood boost.so take a listen and let me know what you think!
