Breathe.... Just Breathe...

So when the hell did October happen? No seriously my birthday was last week right? (It's in July.)

Work is still nuts, and I am counting down until October 15th, because that's our last event for a few weeks. We had 6 events in 7 weeks, with 2 people running them - me and my boss!! Not fun. So the day after our last event, I have a massage booked for myself at Bliss. I. Cannot. Wait. I've had the gift card since February and I am so excited to finally use it and get all the kinks worked out of my back.

Oh and today the owner of my company made me cry. Awesome right? Just what I needed at 9 in the morning. Well HE didn't make me cry, but the stress from everything going on right now set me over the edge. Basically he sent around this article that he wanted everyone to read, and sent it at 6pm the night before an event that we had last Thursday. So I didn't read it then, and this week was absolutely nuts between leaving early Monday and Tuesday for the New Year, and a speaker cancelling last minute that had to be replaced.

We had a staff meeting this morning, and he was asking people their thoughts on it. Only one person really answered, so he called on me to ask my opinion. And I was completely honest, and said "I'm sorry, but I didn't get a chance to read it." TRUE. But then he calls me out in front of the whole office, and goes on about it, whatever. My immediate boss shoots me an email that she'll talk to him about it, because obviously she's been working with me, so she knows how busy we are! Anyway, he pulls me out to talk to me about it, and right away I start to cry because, well, that's what I do. (Just ask my parents, my seat was once changed in 3rd grade and I couldn't see the board and so I cried. WIN.) So he apologizes, blah blah, and says he didn't want to, but couldn't ignore the fact that I didn't read it in front of everyone, etc. And I get it, I totally get it, but we just had a meeting on FRIDAY about how swamped our department is, and the fact that it's been super crazy because we have 6 events in 7 weeks (2 of which were in Chicago), and so forth. So whatever, it was fine in the end, and I got a free iced coffee out of it, but the best part was when we got back into the office, my boss (of my department) was like, pacing back and forth waiting for us because she was so pissed! She wanted to go and talk to him, but I told her that everything was fine, and so we left it alone. But it's nice to know she has my back. :)

I can't wait for October 16th and my massage!! And Maris, Ashley D. and I are planning a get together soon at Kashkaval. Yum! These things are getting me through the next few weeks.
