Yesterday and today, I channeled my best Steve "I don't like bullies" Rogers energy in Office Manager Mode. One of the CSRs at the Hutto clinic was being mean to my new PT CSR, who we ALL really like and works her ass off (and it's just her second week), and as soon as I found out about it (cont)

@soliloquent.bsky.social Just saw this on my FB and thought a little Rick encouragement might brighten your day. :)

@majorenglish.bsky.social This popped up on my Tumblr feed and thought you'd like it for a reaction image or something. :)

WEEKEND!!!!! (Fucking finally!)

Okay. New Adulting Boss Witch duty today. Letting the vet tech who didn't give her 2 weeks go today instead of letting her rudeness stick around for several days being as useless as she usually is. The anxiety is strong, but I did it, I survived it, and now that's another new thing under my belt.

It should be legal for me to break the kneecaps of vet techs who quit without giving two weeks notice and act like they'll be irreplaceable. Granted, this does leave me more work to try and find more vet techs, but this one was a useless piece of fluff (the one I had to do the write-up for).

Trip to Georgetown closed out with a stop at Silver Moon Curios. I did pick up stones, stickers, a wee spider stone (Anansi for the win), and this really cute enamel pin that went right onto my work badge. (Now if they'll just get the Beach Witch one back in to go with my Cottage Witch on my bag!)

WEEKEND! (And it's a normal weekend at this point!)

Oh I also wrote up a client waiver today for all three clinics where if a client insists on or really is a calming influence while restraining their own pet, they still sign this waiver that can then go on their profile so that it legally protects the clinic if their dog/cat bites/scratches them.

I was tasked to do one of my first really REALLY Office Manager things today. Since the Practice Manager was @ one of the other clinics, I took the write-up she put together for a vet tech who's constantly late & actually gave the write-up & talk & had her sign it & slapped down my own signature.

I started to lead the staff meeting today at work while Sharon finished up something in Doc's office. It was a little intimidating, but this is something I'll need to get used to doing on the instances that the PM might have to be out for health reasons. Fun stuff - me, a Lokean, leading meetings.

WEEKEND!!!! (Sorta - I actually have to work Monday this week, off Wednesday, then following that, I'll be back to normal.)

I am officially promoted (with an announcement and everything) to Office Manager of the clinic I work at. I am now a level of supervisor that I never thought I'd achieve in my entire life, esp since I've had temp agency people & others tell me my degrees were too worthless for office jobs.

WEEKEND!!!!!

Wife should poison that motherfucker's food.

I also need to win a lottery big enough to buy a small country with gorgeous beaches where only pagans will be allowed to live. I'm so fucking tired of Christians running my life, my laws, my bedroom, my uterus, my freedom of religious choice. Even the liberal options are too Christian.

I am really tired of trying to find people for the clinics to hire. I'm really ready for a vacation of my own, but something tells me that when it's my turn to ask for even just 2 days off, the people I usually cover for at the other clinic will be obstinate dicks unwilling to cover for me.

Time for bed, and sadly, when I wake up, it'll be early, and I'll have to drag myself to work. Meh.

WEEKEND!!!!!

Last night, we had a hellacious storm in our area. This morning, RR had electricity and internet - no sign of it going off at all in the night. This morning at work - no internet and then the electricity went out, and we're still dealing with this bullshit. But please let's spend $$ on a ballroom.

Why the fuck is it Tuesday already? I really need a day between Monday and Tuesday just for sleep.

WEEKEND!!!!!

@soliloquent.bsky.social Can haz spaghetti?

@soliloquent.bsky.social I think you need this as a reaction image or something.

WEEKEND!!!!!

@soliloquent.bsky.social I can only paste four at a time, so I'm going to see if I can't put the rest in comments to this thread. These are my crystal shop goodies!

Off to bed now! Tomorrow is Big Crystal Win Day! We're eating at Waffle House and then on to Nature's Treasures to collect my grand prize gift certificate and hopefully come home with lots of new pretties!

you bet

WEEKEND!!!!!!

And we have functioning toilets (and happy bladders) again!

Fun day at work. Brand new clinic, two bathrooms instead of just the one rickety thing. Today - both toilets clogged. Plumbers are here but it's taking a while. We're having to make quick trips to the old clinic to pee. Never been so happy to deal with the annoying old toilet in my life.

Got an email this evening from Nature's Treasures, one of my favorite rock shops in Austin. Apparently the drawing I put my name in for back on my birthday - I won the grand prize. A $333 gift certificate. I'm not sure I'll sleep tonight, I'm so damned excited.

WEEKEND!!!!!!!

I really really don't want to work the close shift on Friday, and I really don't want to have to handle the front entirely by myself on Saturday. I hope my co-worker's son gets well enough that she doesn't have to cancel on Friday/Saturday. I know that's a little selfish, but I'm just so tired.

Oh almost forgot. WEEKEND!

WEEKEND!!!!!

Work crystals and cuties. Yes these are mine. @writergal10.bsky.social

Blech. Why couldn't Monday have lasted another two days just for sleep?

WEEKEND! (And my birthday tomorrow on top of that!)

In a week (well, Sunday), I turn 53. I just have to make it through this week at work to my 2 1/2 day weekend. I hope this week will go smoothly, peacefully, sanely (especially that one), and that all the entitled clients decide to go to the Hutto clinic instead of ours.

WEEKEND!

I thought making an appt for the DMV to get my license renewed would mean that it would go quickly, and my sister and I wouldn't be sitting there forever. Wrong. The DMV is still clearly run by Glen Carter from The Blacklist. But the task is done for another 8 years.

I think my sister & I have all our paperwork gathered for tomorrow's trek into Georgetown to renew our drivers licenses. Mine's due to be renewed, but she's doing hers, too, because of change of address and voting. Just ready to have this shit done for another 6 years - or till we escape Texas.

WEEKEND!!!!!

My sister and I walked so much today, but it was an awesome day. We bought plants at the Round Rock Garden Center and Lowe's. I got two new pillows, (had to do the oil change for my car, and that was a bit because they also replaced a couple of filters as well), and other stuff for work.

WEEKEND!!!!!
