Catching UpLike I said....yes I know that Thanksgiving is over but since I haven't been able to leave an entry since before Thanksgiving day I thought it would still be appropriate to use this layout and tell everyone happy late Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving was actually pretty decent! We cooked two turkeys, a huge thing of cornbread dressing with what is called giblet gravy only I used boiled chicken instead of giblets, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, potato salad, mashed potatoes, chocolate cookies and peanut butter cookies. John's brother Jason and his girlfriend Kristi came over to eat with us. I must admit I was very nervous about them coming over because in the past Jason and I have not gotten along. In fact our arguments have gotten so bad before that they almost came to blows. So of course I was contemplating how good an idea it was to invite him into my house if he was going to be rude to me like he usually is (I'll explain about that at a later date). But I was very pleased to find that both he and his girlfriend were extremely well behaved and we actually enjoyed each others company. My mom was of course also here with us but she stayed mostly to herself, my mom is not a social person.
Anyway, the only bad part about my Thanksgiving holidays is that I had a kidney stone the entire time. The doctors kept me on pain medication (safe for the baby of course) for six days then made me come into the hospital because I wasn't passing the damn thing! When I finally did pass it (this Monday) it ended up being the size of a small pencil eraser. I even started having premature contractions which scared us a bit obviously. I ended up being in the hospital from 10 am that morning until 5 o'clock that afternoon!!! They almost admitted me, but thankfully the contractions stopped and didn't return so they allowed me to leave.
Work hasn't been going very well for the past few days unfortunately though. First this girl I work with named Prascilla or however you spell that, who I thought was a friend got an attitude with me. See we sew military clothing where I work, and we each sew one step in the process so she can't do her step until I've finished mine. Mind you I've only been working there for a little under a month now so I'm not up to full speed yet because I'm still learning my job. Well she decided to come marching over to my station Tuesday and inform me that she needed work NOW...I told her politely that I was doing my best and that I'd try and go faster. Well after that she waited until I'd gotten half a bundle done then marched back over to my station and snatched the work off my desk. After that she decided to hover over my shoulder watching my every move...well the supervisor caught her and reminded her that if I wasn't going fast enough for her she was more than welcome to grab one of my bundles and do my step too so she'd have some work. The girl then started arguing with the supervisor, NOT a good idea because she almost got herself fired...but of course in her mind that was all MY fault because I wasn't able to pick up the pace fast enough for her so now she hates me!...Then today to make matters worse my boss called me into her office and told me that if I haven't made production in two weeks time that she is going to fire me!! I've been making what I thought was very good progress, and when I started they told me that everyone had 90 days to make production...apparently though I've become an exception to the rule! I was also listening to my MP3 player to keep myself awake (which is allowed where I work) but she informed me that until I'd made production she was taking that privilege away from me too...I tried to explain to her that listening to music helped keep me focused on my work, instead of having to listen to all the banging and clanging of the machinery around me but she didn't care nor did she believe me!! So now I once again thoroughly dread going to work in the morning where I had gotten to a point where I could actually handle the idea!
Anyway it is after midnight and I have to be up around 6:30 am so I'd better be off to bed! I'll update more later for now I'm outtie! Caio and Blessed Be!
