Let's Recap...

Today Grandy took a bold step in the office. She's prepared to take her career to that next level, and isn't going to let little petty insecure people try to manipulate her.

Step 1: Grandy participated in a great class that explained a lot last week. - WIN

Step 2: Grandy had some words with one of the more "seasoned" professionals (and when I say "seasoned" I definitely mean he has more salt mixed in with his pepper on the hair he has left). Rather than play the old Grandy, and curse him out, there was a diplomatic response and I walked away.

Step 3: Grandy followed up later in the week with same putz seasoned man via email and said, "Perhaps we should discuss this further".

Step 4: Grandy scheduled an appointment with said putz.

Step 5: Grandy met with same putz and had a frank discussion about his a-hole-ness. He tries to justify his actions by exclaiming that he's just an ass, and that's what I should be used to. I explained that although I'm quite familiar with his ass-ness, that was merely a character flaw as opposed to an excuse to treat people like crap.

Step 6: Grandy expresses her appreciation for agreeing to have the meeting. It's important to clear the air, if you're going to grow and be able to work together. I explained to him that now that we're both on the same page, I will feel far better the next time he acts like a turd and I have to tell him to F-OFF!!

Oh yes, Grandy is growing up...but not all the way. ;)

Computer Issues

Grandy has been working LIKE A DOG lately.

When Grandy is on a roll, there are few things that irritate her more than computer issues. Good Grief!!


Every day, for the last 2 weeks, it has taken about 30 minutes to get logged into the computer. Each time I try to log in, there is an error message with the network.


Rather than try to FIGHT the system, why can't my system just give me this message?





Ummmmmmm.....YEAH!!!

WTF Wednesday - More People of WalMart

I'm not sure what makes me laugh more when I see the pictures on People of WalMart, the pictures themselves, or the wonderful commentary. I recently sent one of those emails to a friend, and she could have sworn that I had written the comments on the pictures.

Now THAT my friends, is a huge compliment. These people are GREAT caption artists!

How the hell did the White Witch of Narnia come through the wardrobe?

Wisconsin




Oh wow that’s neat, JanSport came out with a new flesh colored fanny-pack….wait…wait a minute…hold on…that can’t be…is it really?…..OH MY DEAR GOD! Someone come and stab me in the neck so I’m distracted from this pain!

Grandy is HERE

So many of Grandy's friends are going through something major in their life.

Unemployment

Child Custody Battles

Divorce

Deportation Issues

Mid-Life Crisis' in ways I can only embrace.

Grandy wants them all to know, she is here. She's here for you. She's not been HERE...via her blog as often as she would like, but she is HERE, in person, and for real.

What can I do for these friends?

Help right the resume.

Go to court.

Give a hug.

Grandy gets low in her own little moments...but has never let that stand in her way of her friends and family. It is in my lowest moments that you have all touched me.

I am here because of you all. I am who I am because of you. You are strong, and make me want to be a better person.

Have faith...and know that you can call me. No matter what!!!

Thank you for being Grandy's friend.
