These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Not a BAD Monday. Just a weird Monday.
First, my most-difficult coworker came by my office and acted like nothing had ever happened.
Secondly, my boss passed my office twice today, waved once, and that was it.
Two of my coworkers came by and told me how much they support me, which was really nice. They also mentioned that my boss sat down with each of them on Friday and asked them what they thought of the situation and suggested ways that he might rectify it. Which makes my boss never mentioning it to me even weirder.
Had lunch with a former coworker and am delighted by how happy she is. Her 9-month-old baby is a delight, cute as can be and soooo close to talking. Her husband is having a hard time sticking to the "we're not a couple anymore, we're now a family of three" budget but where he went way over was in how much he spent on Valentine's Day. How romantic is that? And she began a new job recently, and her new boss is very generous in allowing her flex time. Since she's such a great girl, finding her this happy makes me happy.
And Steve, the dispatcher who took my reservations for rides to and from Newport News airport when I'm on vacation next week, flirted with me. Thank you, Steve.

Well, if it had to be weird, at least it's a GOOD kind of weird rather than a F'd up kind of weird, eh?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got good people on your side.
ReplyDeleteMy Monday was kind of lazy. But I filled out a ton of applications-already got and interview scheduled for Friday!
ReplyDeleteGlad things at your job are going a bit better, hopefully it continues.
