Okay, it's Monday and I feel a little less shitty today. I'm a day removed from my meltdown, and I've settled down a bit.
I did try to talk to my sister yesterday morning, and got nowhere. Her immediate answer was "I need to get a work from home job. Which was not what I was asking, needless to say. Sometimes, she's so much like my mother that she makes my brain hurt. Always jumping to martyrdom, whether it'll help or not. I know my mother and grandmother did a number on me, but I forget that despite being the favored child, they did some damage to her, too. At least we skipped the "I guess I can't do anything right" phase.
Fortunately, Jess continued the discussion after I went back to work, and they were able to press our points. So that's a good thing. First step: Get a dumpster and clean the house out some. Right now, we've got a mess. Empty boxes stacked all around, shit on the floor. So we're going to try to fix that, and then we can get someone in to help. Then, we'll do a little surfing on Care.com and see what we can find. Someone to take him to appointments would be a wonderful thing, just for starters. You know how much I dread that.
Today shall be boring as hell. I did all the markets yesterday and the new ones rarely come in until late on Monday, so I will probably have nothing to do.
My big mouth may have talked me into another project. I was talking to a friend of mine about the meeting I have Thursday morning about the Out of Market pickups, and she mentioned that no one had mentioned anything about us changing transport companies. Which we did on Sept 1st. So, I mentioned this to former!manager, pointing out that we need to brief them, and then look through the pending returns queue and fix all the cases that were fucked up between Sept 1st til now. And that to do that, we need a list of the zip codes affected.
You would have thought I had told him how to spin gold from straw. He was so excited that I was thinking with portals. Downside, I have a feeling that I'll be spearheading all of this project. Unless I get a new job. That might get me out of some of it.
So, I'm currently trying to think up stuff to ask the Operational Director on Thursday to facilitate future endeavors. Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume that I'll be there for this project. I really appreciate former!manager's faith in me. He's been my biggest cheerleader within IKEA. He keeps telling me how much he's going to hate it if I get another position, even as he thinks I deserve it.
Okay, time for me to get my shit together for work. Everyone have a magnificent Monday!
