Woke up this morning in the best mood. Slept in till almost 8am, after passing out last night sometime before 8. Woke up with my laptop still on my chest, so I'd say that I got some really good sleep. This morning is all about cleaning. Justin and Cari are bringing their new puppy over for me to puppysit while they're in Terre Haute for a wedding this weekend. That's right. I get a puppy for a whole 4 days! Wheeeeeeee! He's just about the cutest dog ever.
Been getting my stuff together for my trip next week. It's going to be weird flying home for a holiday weekend. Not to mention flying right into ground zero of my mother's mindterrorism. I'm pretty confident that I'll be fine, though. I'm just not going to let it get to me. Plus, if things get too bad it's not like I can't change my flight home or stay at a friend's place for the duration. This trip will also determine whether or not Xmas in Illinois is a go. I'm contemplating doing my own Xmas this year. Granted all my friends will be with their families so it'll just be me and a bowl of heavily spiced egg nog. But I'm okay with that. Mother, on the other hand, might have words about it. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Just see how next weekend goes.
Work yesterday kinda sucked. I finally got a chance to tell Biff exactly what my problems are with him. He was pretty quiet. Especially after the stunt he pulled that resulted in me staying over a half hour to clean up his mess. I also told the uppers that I'm interested in that position, and they seemed pretty okay with that. So, *crosses fingers*. It does help that all three of them responded with "Well...you were amazing in between ASMLs, and you were only a supervisor. You were doing things and getting things done that even ASMLs (assistant store manager logistics) don't get done right. We were all pretty impressed." The only thing I have to work on is my attitude. I seem to have that "they can't run this store without me" mentality when I'm there. Which is kind of true, but if they replaced me the new person could learn like I did. So I'm aiming to knock that off immediately.
And now, I mop.
