Okay, so I still have my job.  Not the outcome I really hoped for, but things seem to have settled down.  More on that later (well, in another post).

Today I turn 41!  That’s not so bad (picture me saying that to myself, over and over….).  I woke up to the best today!

• Calls from Zack and Sophia, who I haven’t talked to in some time, and it was great
• Calls from Kenny, who insists on saying that I look good for 50!  (Wonder where he gets THAT from?)
• Edgar called too and he was pretty nice, although he IS 6 years older than me!
• Rita gave me a lovely card and dark chocolate kisses as well as an adorable card from Nike and Gracie.
• Teddi sent nice birthday wishes via text.
• I have a coffee press at work and yummy Espresso, so the caffeine is flowing!
• Kirstie called this afternoon and made me smile.  She is sweet AND sarcastic, just like her ma.
• LOTS of comments on Facebook, which is cool.
• My crazy sister Linda called and sang her very own rendition of Happy Birthday.  Thank  GOD my hearing is off!  lol

Sorry if I forgot anyone!  And I will add more later as they happen……

Tonight Rita and I are going out someplace.  Tomorrow Edgar, the kids, and Rita are taking me someplace else – all hush hush – although Kenny said we’re going bowling, which is quite hilarious considering I just had surgery on my shoulder!  That kid so has my sense of humor and that freakin’ SCARES me!

Speaking of my shoulder – it’s a little better everyday.  Still sore, still stiff.  I like not having to wear my sling but sleeping on my left side is still a bear.  I am looking forward to physical therapy.

Okay, best get going and all that!

Just a quick update about work.  The crap is pretty thick there and it has gotten very ugly.  There is no “team” where I work and it is now evident that Lien is not leaving and her unreasonable and incorrect management of the Accounting will continue despite the fact that I am “officially in charge”.  She is out right rude and she is even taking steps to harrass me.

Sounds dramatic – sorry – but it seems lately that my life is a freaking soap opera!

But here is the deal – Gina said enough is enough.  I gave both owners details and an ultimatum; figure out in black and white what I have been hired for.  That I need to have authority if all the responsibility is mine.  That I am tired of being treated like crap by the owner’s wife.  That he wants a team and his own wife and HER FAMILY that work there do not even TALK to me.

The managing owner said he would have my answers for me today, so either I am out of a job, or things will be getting better.  Part of me really hopes for the former.
