Random Ramblings Are Random

Today was the big day - my daughter is now living with her partner and roomies. After a kerfuffle with U-Haul concerning how to pay, I arrived at my apartment shortly after 9:15am after having stopped at a friend's place to pick up a chaise lounge and then a Dollarama to buy all new pillows for my daughter because her old ones were getting tossed into the trash today. It took us about an hour to load all the garbage into the van and then my daughter came with me to the dump. At least 20-30 minutes waiting in line before we were directed to a spot to back up to so we could toss all the bags we had. One thing that surprised me was the smell of all the bags in the back of the van while we were waiting in line...it was kinda gross, but it's likely because we were in close quarters with it that we noticed it. I'm very glad it's all gone now. Not that there still won't be additional bags of garbage gathered as I go through the rest of the stuff on the floor and in my room

I've been making progress on the cleaning that my apartment has needed for way longer than I care to admit. And I'm actually SEEING that progress. Sure, I've got numerous garbage bags filled with stuff that I will be taking to the dump the weekend after this upcoming one, but the bags are still better than the stuff laying all over the floor. I can move bags if I need to instead of having to try to kick things out of my way and hoping that nothing hazardous is in the pile I'm trying to shift. I've requested the first week of May off so that I do a deep clean and get things moved around to my liking. Not to mention that I plan on painting the bedrooms finally, starting with the one my daughter will be vacating. I may not be able to take the entire week off, but I figure that even one extra day off will be better than nothing at all. As of right now, I'm hoping to have gotten everything bagged up for the dump run at the end of the month. The plan right now is to p

A couple nights after my previous post my friend and I talked about how she had gotten on at work. I told her flat out how what she did came across both to me and my big boss. She made some excuses for her actions and why she felt she wasn't in the wrong. One of her statements left me stunned. Sure, her regulat job (and career) deals with confidential medical information, and she's got a degree or something in medical information, but you don't need a damn degree or even a post-secondary certificate in how to fucking file things. What you need is to be trusted to follow the lead of the person heading up the project. Honestly, I could have chosen anybody employed by the company to help me, but I felt that due to her regular job that she was the best choice in terms on knowing she understands confidentiality AND it gave her some hours that she would not otherwise have gotten. If I'd known she would go above my head and then carry on the way she did when I first tried to e

So, I have a feeling that I'm going to be suggesting that a friend of mine be put elsewhere at work, or just plain let go. Or at least not work with me on any projects at all. Why? Because right now I feel that she can't see where or how she overstepped, and basically made excuses for what she did. At work I've been put in charge of doing a file cull for the RMTs and my boss left the project in my hands, and said I could bring in my friend to help as it would get done quicker than just having me do it, and it would give my friend some hours where she's not on the hotel desk schedule right now. After our first attempt at the file cull using the instructions given by the spa manager and realizing how useless it will be to keep thousands of folders for clients who haven't been in since before 2019 that we could just keep the files from Jan 2020 in the file room and box the rest to go into on-site storage. I made it clear that _I_ was going to talk to the spa manager AN
