January 2012
So at work we saved our client $40 million in 2011. As a thank you they are catering lunch for us on Friday. From an extremely amazing Italian place.
I love my job :)

I always forget how amazing I feel when I put others first. This past week I was very unhappy and grumpy. I felt taken for granted. No one asked about me all week or how i was doing. I needed a friend and everyone was too busy for me. I felt sorry for myself. (Of course if I really wanted someone to check up on me, maybe I should’ve reached out to someone first so people would actually...

I have the best supervisor in the world
This was the worst week I’ve ever had at work. Hands down the worst. CA agents were being total idiots & treating me as if I don’t know how to do my job.
Today my supervisor apologized for the stuff that the CA office was doing to me. She felt really bad about and felt that I had been set up for failure.
Things are cleared up now & back to normal. Better actually. I even...

My Muslim co-worker Basit, & I went and got falafel for lunch. My Muslim co-workers (all 3 of them) are so fascinated by my Messianic Judaism. They also like that I’m obsessed with Middle Eastern culture, especially the music. We talked about religion, work, and our problems with the CA office.
Our CA team is driving me nuts. Seriously nuts. They do not know what they are doing. And...
Little things
A working computer system. A hot cup of coffee. Lots of things to do. New agent in CA for me to data-check (never done that before so I’m excited.) New dance steps to post. And talking politics with my co-worker Mark (since we discovered we’re on the same side.)
Not a bad Monday at all.
