So after giving my notice on Monday, having meetings everyday since regarding my resignation, they have finally accepted it today, Friday. And it does make me feel good. I know I'm a hard worker and I know my value. I know I'm worth more, and not just monetarily. I deserve respect. Even after all this, my boss took me in his office and said he knows I'm a woman and he can't talk to me like he does. That was exactly my point. Be it a woman or not, there's a level of respect at work that must be followed. If someone's in a bad mood, you don't say he/she "needs to get laid." You don't ask your subordinates to buy you lunch everyday and never say thank you or say you don't have your wallet on you when we all walk by your reserved spot and see your wallet in the cup holder.
Relieved. That's the word. I'm lucky in that I'm more frugal than the average person. At 29, I have over a year's salary saved up. And getting married gives me that little boost of income (plus my child support covers my daughter) where I don't need to find something before I leave. I know it would be better, but at this point, my mental and physical well being are more important.
And I leave knowing that the company really does need me and will be hurting for a bit. Today, that is all the satisfaction I need.

Changes!
I wasn't kidding when I said this would be my year for change and to grow strong. I put in my notice and I'm out. Did they ask me to stay? Hell yeah! Will I? Hell no! I've got nothing lined up just yet, but I'm a hard, dependable worker and I'm not scared or nervous. As a matter of fact, I feel relieved. It's as if I broke off an abusive relationship. I came home and just slept.
I now have energy like I haven't in a long time. I will enjoy my family more and have that patience I resolved to have on the midnight of the new year.
I'm also going to go on a major budget in the time being. ;)

I can't take it anymore!!!
So I had my annual review at work. Apparently I didn't get my raise because I "got married this year and your husband should take some of the responsibility" in regards to my daughter. WHEN THE HELL DID I ENTER THE TWILIGHT ZONE?!?!?!?!
Discriminating against an individual based on his or her marital status is illegal. That means your employer cannot discrimination against you because you are married, not-married, divorced, having a marriage dissolved or annulled, separated, widowed, or have any other marital status.
So even though I would have LOVED to have walked out and given my boss a piece of my mind, I need my job at the moment. My daughter says I should sue him. But what would I get? Legal bills and a $1000 for the crap raise I should have gotten. At this point I'd rather go work at the local supermarket until I find something better. My revenge? I know when I do leave in a few months - I've got 5 months left MAX, he'll be out a smart, educated assistant. I know he can't keep one due to his ignorance, arrogance and poor piss attitude. And let's not forget his spitting on me, the paperwork and our merchandise with all his DISGUSTING tobacco chewing. I'm the only one who can put up with it all, and at this point, I've had enough.

Here we go....
If they're prepubescent, only one shower is needed a week - that's what some doctors say. Today's Tuesday, my daughter's last shower was Saturday. Not sure, but I let it slide. When she wouldn't take a shower this morning I told her to go get dressed. Instead, she watches tv while I'm getting ready so I decide no tv for the rest of the week. Now I'm "the meanest person in the whole world" according to the dry erase board on the wall.
New year, new resolutions.....patience, declutter and do my best.
I've been taking the prerequisites for the past year. I start my last class the end of the month and then I can apply to the sonography program I'm working towards. I was bored at work a few months ago and bought a clarinet online. I had my first lesson last month and have my next one set for tomorrow. If I'm not busy, I'm just not happy.
Now if I can only win that Mega Millions set to be drawn in twenty minutes. ;)
