Boss's, Nausea, Insurance, and the #26
15 years ago
General
These four words...um, three words and number sums up this current week for. How?
Boss's: Tomorrow (10/13) I've been asked to go into work a bit earlier than scheduled...and with semi-good reason. I've been informed for the past month that our store would be expecting visits from some of the higher-ups, mainly the one in the first week of November (and my Lead will be gone that week, so not only would I be covering his morning shifts I will be directly chatting with the bosses). Now I'm told that my manager's boss's boss came in today to inform us all that THAT BOSS's boss will be coming in tomorrow specifically to evaluate the department of our store I work on.
The way I see it, though, in this case it will be practice for handling this guy again (or...dare I fear, this guy's boss as well <_<; ) come November. Technically, the only reason I'm going in early is to keep my department running and handled in case of customers. My lead will be doing most of the talking, though with that we've both been told to just "nod and agree," don't bother bringing up any small negative details we've been dealing with or correct them if they tell us something we are already doing or doesn't sound plausible (those are stuff to trouble the manager with...like he would ever do anything o_o; ). Either way, tomorrow is going to be one hell of a day...but I guess it's better this happened now than later, especially considering the kind of week I'll be having.
Nausea: ...see above for reason's why. Along that it's because of my boss's presence. I know I need to get over this and just suck it up, but something about him gives off this negative moody feeling that just makes me want to collapse and tuck into the fetal position until he's gone. I think...maybe...I'm starting to get stress rashes from it O_o. One of my friends joked about my situation with him, said I could possibly use this excuse with a doctor. He technically is right; I'm actually developing physical medical problems because of him. Friend said I could use this to maybe stay off work until the corporate boneheads finally get off their ass and send us a new manager and kick the current one back to his own store.
...Of course if I actually did see a doctor I'll probably get charged another 1000 dollars that my insurance won't pay for.
Insurance: Regarding that last bit, I'm getting really sick of my insurance people at this moment. First I was denied because of some unknown reason they couldn't fully explained. Then I finally get something in the mail and I can't make heads or tails out of what these charges mean (the charges doesn't match the bill I have to begin with :p ). Now I finally find out that all this trouble might be because they keep reviewing my claim as an In-Network situation when I went to a Hospital (or Urgent Care facility) that was Out-Of-Network. So now it's getting reviewed AGAIN, but I don't know if I'll hear anything back before the day I need to start paying this medical bill. And I also tried calling the Hospital about my situation and a possible extension on the bill, but the damn office was apparently to busy today not only to answer the damn phone but to not even give me a call back (4 hours before their office closed). This is getting ir-ri-ta-tiiiing?
the # 26: *sigh* Well, this last part can be viewed as either the part of the week that will be enjoyable or another day to grieve and pout on life. 26 means my Birthday this Saturday. 26 years old. Passing the Quarter of my Life meter. *siiiiiiigh*
At least I have a three day weekend after Wednesday. But birthday's aren't as fun anymore when your older. The Parties aren't as exciting. Parents don't go over board with the gifts or money. All the fun places you use to go to are either gone or too young for you.
At least I'm still getting treated to dinner this Friday (though not absolutely sure where to go that I haven't already gone), and most likely my friends will try to get me plastered too. Bowling or movies are in the mix, but nothing is concrete.
Well that about sums up my week so far.
Regarding projects, I'm working on the first chapter of Wolfhood 2 still. I'm struggling though. I've written several different versions of how to start the second half of the first chapter. None of what I'm writing feels appealing or solid. I don't want to make it to simple, but I do want to use this chance to go more in-depth into Percy's life before jumping into the whole 'being a werewolf' issue with her. I know it's mainly a erotica series, but I like my stories with some serious plots and all. Plus it's extra hard trying to write a character of a different gender. I'm doing my best to portray women appropriately, but...I dunno know; if I make one wrong move or take something out of context I might regret or fudge up the whole story.
In other news...I HAZ CASTLE CRASHES for the PS3 >^_^< and I'm having loads of fun.
Finally, once more a reminder that I will eventually be moving to my new user gallery appropriately named
TimidTabby All watchers and lurkers who like to view my art and stories and want to keep seeing more in the future please refer to that gallery after the end of this week...or next. I will post a journal to let you all know when it's official.
Ok, going back to Wolfhood and do what I can. Have a good night, y'all!
