• Well, well.  Lots to report.  The minor stuff first.

  
  

  So, if I didn't tell you all previously, Carol (at work) ripped me a new asshole a little while back for wanting to leave a surgical pack to be autoclaved the next morning.  Ok, hint taken.  Well, one of the many things that pissed me off on Saturday was that Carol left some stuff overnight for me to autoclave on Sunday.  So, I left a post-it on Carol's time card saying that I thought we weren't allowed to do that, so what was the protocol exactly.  Well, I came in today and she was livid.  She had been called in by all 3 heads: Jacobson, Zawie & Gini.  They wanted to know why she didn't follow normal procedures.  She was pissed that I was able to turn things around on her.  She had not looked me in the eye since I met with Gini last week.  I NEVER said anything to Carol.  I did not mention it to her at all.  The fact that she averted her eyes means a lot.  Someone whith nothing to hide would look me in the eye no problem.  Today she looked me in the eye because she was pissed that I got her at her own game.  She told me that she was sure Gini would want to speak to me about it.  When I first saw Gini this morning, I told her about my finger so that she had a heads up if workman's comp calls.  We chit-chatted throughout the day, but she never called me in to speak to her about this.  Why?  Because I did the right thing.  I think I finally proved that maybe Carol should not be taken as the final word.  I am not reveling in the fact that she got in trouble, just the fact that I was able to prove myself.  I was able to take her down a notch & bring myself up.  I hope they're starting to see me in a better light now.

  
  

  So, the date went well last night.  The drive wasn't too bad.  A couple of hours, but very tolerable.  She is very cute   She enjoyed the beanie baby I bought her, I also lent her my copy of Cunningham's guide to the solitary practitioner, to introduce her to Wicca, since she seems so interested.  She was kind enough to pay for dinner.  That was really sweet of her.  We had a good time, we talked a lot, compared a lot of work stories   We hugged each other good night (she was nice enough to walk me to the truck).  It was nice.  No pressure, just a nice evening together.  I came home & there was a nice e-mail from her.  So, I e-mailed her back, thanked her for dinner & a nice night.  And we'll just see what happens.  I would like to see her again.  No pressure.  Whatever is meant to be will be.  I'm not pushing this one way or another.  I need to learn to let go a bit & let nature run its course.  So, I'm gonna try to that here.  This is a big change for me, all the more reason to just let it go on its own time.  So, that was that.  Got in late, got up early for work & now here I am

  
  

  So, that's my big news for today   Hope all is well with each of you.  Take care.  Much love & many blessings to you all!
