We haven't had internet for awhile at home. I guess the ATT guy came to fix the phone lines and internet, but Tim forgot to double check that the guy fixed both, and the guy forgot to fix both. So now we have to wait until the ATT guy comes back again. For now, we've been mooching what internet signals we can off of neighbor's wireless, but it is so unstable!
First thing's first to break the exciting news! A month after I asked for compensation two ways and was given a "no", Claude came to me this past week and basically broke the news that I would be granted both. I'm flirting with the idea that the raise is because they can't bring in extra help from college students and pay them less. Claude claims that HR found a "loophole" in "the system" and as long as I can bring transcripts to prove that I am a full time student entering my sophmore year, I would be able to eventually receive this raise.
Did I tell you Kristi is upstairs in IT now? Though she is 50% marketing/bus dev, according to John. This makes it difficult to train her, as people constantly call and show up for help from her for stupid requests. We're chipping away at it slowly but surely, and I'm just keeping positive about it.
Back to the two requests that were granted. I asked Claude "How many extra sets of hands?" and "Where will they sit?" and "What PC's will they use?" and "Who are they going to be" and "What are they going to do?" and Claude basically told me it was totally up to me :) So to make a long story short, Catalina and Tim are starting June 21st if we can get the paperwork together!
Today, we went to a doggie activity day at the doggie day care center that Romeo goes to once a week. My mom works from home on Wednesdays, so she drops him off for $10 and he spends the day socializing with other pups. He got to get his paw print in finger paint, play with his best friend Trigger, eat doggie treats, watch the Rock and Roll K-9s perform, and play musical chairs with other owner's and dogs.
Aside from all this, my relationship with D has been on the rocks. Does that even make sense? I don't even know. It's such a disaster, and we've just been fighting and fighting and fighting. In all honesty, we have the most intense love/hate relationship I have ever experienced. At times, I feel I am so in love with him, but other times, I can't believe how mean we are to each other. Maybe more to come on this later if I feel like ranting about it...
