It's still snowy and probably icy om my driveway, but I have things to do, so I'll be slapping on my shoes and jeans and going for it anyway. I've got treats for the dog that I need to pick up, I was thinking about getting king cake donuts, and my sister just asked me to visit dad instead of her because we're not sure how the road will be at night, which is fair. Still makes me grumpy, but I'll live.
And of course, Dad will be disappointed to see me again, because I am most definitely not the favored daughter. Yesterday, I wasn't going anywhere, but he called to ask us to come up to bring his laundry, because he was out of pants. Then, the whole time we're there, he's fretting about my sister driving home in the weather. The rehab is literally the same distance from home as her job. He called me at 7 to make sure she'd gotten home okay. Not wether we'd had any trouble, just my sister.
I just feel like anything I do is devalued. And it probably won't get better when I start the new job, because if IKEA was any indication, working from home was of less value than working in the office. It always made me crazy. I made more than my sister, but her job was more important. I don't see that changing.
I'm hoping Hopkins emails or calls today. If not, I'll contact my recruiter to check in. That's making me annoyed too. They technically have three business days to contact me, and since I didn't sign my contract until Thursday, they have through today to do so, but I want to get going.
Sorry, I appear to be grumpy this morning. I didn't sleep great last night and then my sister hit me with the request before I'd even had my coffee.
I thought about deleting this and rewriting a little less bitchy, but I'm going to let it stand.
Anyhow, I hope everyone has a warm and wonderful Wednesday.
