it's just another day, right?

i don't know why i dread mondays so much. it's just another day. it gets a bad rap from me sometimes. i think part of it is b/c i'm a little bit unhappy with my job right now and don't particularly like going to work. it's a busy time of the year for me, which is ok. i like busy. it makes the day go by much faster. i like looking up and it's 2:30 and i've got to still take a lunch. that means 3:30 i'm back from lunch, then 2 hours til time to go.

i'm tired of all the drama. we've got this one division that causes the most of the drama anymore. they can't get their kit together. we had yet another change with them. i think this is either change #4 or change #5. folks are blowing gaskets over these changes. basically b/c the guy who is in charge of this division isn't doing his job to make sure the info given to the various groups is correct. he "finds" it about a month after all the work has been done. he doesn't think it's a big deal. you know why? b/c he's not the one who is having to make the corrections. he just says "oops! my bad!" and there are no consequences for his actions. it's just so frustrating that someone higher up doesn't do something.

and for whatever reason, the database isn't quite like it was last year. there's problems with the headcount forecast and i'm trying to figure it out. and i'm being challenged when i'm bringing up the fact that the headcount data is wrong. i know what i see and i know what it should be.

tomorrow is going to be better. i've got stitch night and i'm ready to visit with all the ladies. i hope that donna is there tomorrow night so i can finally meet her face to face. ~~ waves to donna ~~

i went by my lys - in stitches - this weekend and bought baby alpaca brush by plymouth yarn. i made a basic beanie for my friend, tara. she found out i knit and asked me if i would please make her one. i started off with the lace beanie pattern from lionbrand. i wound up not doing the lace pattern b/c she needs it to be plain (long story i don't want to get into). so i cast on and did the rounds until i got the 88 stitches. then i knit in stockinette for 16 rows, followed by k2,p2 for 6 rounds to finish. i'm going to give it to frances to send to her. she's getting some stuff together to send a care package.

well, i'm going to go now. it's bedtime!

kisses....
