Popping in shortly during lunch. Today I was called into my managers office because the big VP has complained about me. We moved cubes and I am right in front of the VP's office. She passes by all the time. I got the worst spot. Anyways, she went ot my boss and told her I am never in my cube (the only place I go is to stretch, go to the bathroom, or I was helping a newer coworker with something yesterday and was in his cube for a while), I am at my coworkers cube too much (we work on the same area from time to time and we have to discuss things because)and I am on my phone too much (actually, no, I listen to Pandora on my phone and our wifi hasn't been working in the building so I keep making sure I am not knocked off). I do my work, I am productive, and I am helpful to my team members. My boss, who is now a director is scared of the VP, so basically she never stood up for me and told me to be extra extra careful. So, now I sit in my cube, don't talk to anyone. I am scared to go to the bathroom, I am not walking as much as I should, which is how I got this stupid contracture in my knee I am working to hard to get out, and I feel defeated.
I have always been a hard worker. I have always been a helpful resource to those I have worked with. This is disheartening.
Lemonade out of this lemon? I am even more fired up to find another position.
Oh, and my D10 has been struggling in science. She got a bad grade on a quiz and flipped and obsessed and cried.... I emailed the teacher and she gave me additional resource so I can help her. Well, my very bright kid found a huge discrepancy in the book and with the online resource. It's a new science program this year, and now the teacher has brought it to all the 5th grade teachers and they are seeing what they can do about this issue. The teachers never caught this, but my girl did. I am proud of her.
Oh, and FF's sister did not unfriend me She is back on FB now, she went off for a while. There was a tragic loss in their family. she posted pictures of the last time the "family" (incluling this aunt and uncle that passed) which also included the girlfriend. She became quite a part of the family from the beginning. I also found out she lives in my very small town and is 23 years old. Much more age appropriate for him. And he put on ALOT of weight. I did post to his sister that I am very sorry for her loss. FB is sadly a way to see my ex' and the women they have now, which are all right after me. So I make a note of note of not going on often.
I've taken to cleaning out my office/spare bedroom and decluttering the house, so that keeps me busy at night. I to bed at 9:30 and wake up at 5:45 now. It helps. Hopefully taking a drive to visit a friend this weekend. I can use a little distraction.
