caithreamThe fun never stops. Nor do my issues lol.
So last week my boss gave me a sheet to fill out to get health insurance, which, YAY! I've been uninsured since I finished school last December. And then she says, "But it won't kick in until April." ACK. I'm leaving for Europe on March 8th, so that won't do. So now she's expecting the form back by the end of this month, and obviously I can't give it to her and then go "lol jk I'm leaving for Europe in March." So that means I'll have to tell her about my trip earlier than I wanted to. Which now leads me to stress over....
What do I tell her when I tell her? I've been stressing and stressing about it, and my dad came up with a pretty good idea. Since I'm not entirely sure I want to move out of state just after coming back from Europe, I thought, you know, it would be nice (though quite unlikely) if I could come back to my job after getting back from Europe. So the idea would be to tell her, I've got this great opportunity to go to Europe for three weeks that I can't not take advantage of. If you still want me back after the three weeks, awesome, but if you need to hire someone else to take my spot, I totally and completely understand. That way I'm putting it out there, but not quitting yet entirely. Unfortunately, ANY kind of confrontation is my Achilles heel, but either way, it's got to be discussed.
Not to even mention the fact that my boss put on the calendar for tomorrow a whole hour set aside for an "office meeting." All other previous "office meetings" between myself, my boss, and my coworker have basically been a stripping down of everything I'm doing, and critiquing it with an audience and saying what I need to do to improve. Sounds helpful, but it's really not. Ugh. Whatever. 50 days until Europe. Whatever happens, I just gotta make it until then.
ANYWAY, a much better topic: the Con this weekend omgggg. Here's a great article of the breakfast (with some UHMAZING hi-def pics of Jensen, ohgod), and this one of the panel. AND THINGS AND STUFF:
- A WESTERN EPISODE IF YOU HEARD SHRIEKING IT WAS ME. I may actually die of sheer stupid glee.
- Jensen listens to Broken Bells and is anot so closet hipster.
- Jensen watches The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Jared watches Jersey Shore. Somehow I am completely not shocked.
- Jensen speaking to someone in Portuguese I need this video I need it I need it
- Someone else bring up “Pudding!” Both Jared and Jensen say that one has stuck around and the crew uses it constantly when things go wrong. They’ve got some mileage over that one. AHAHAHA I love it.
- This video in which Jensen talking about football is like porn to me. UNGHHH. Let's just go to a bar and watch football together and drink beer okay guys.
I now leave you with the most beautiful video you will ever see in your entire life.

Date: 2011-01-18 03:18 am (UTC)Thank you sweets. I also don't want to take advantage of how nice/accommodating my boss has been in the past too. UGH why can't someone do this for me.

Date: 2011-01-18 06:13 pm (UTC)Also, that lawnmower video was so spiritually enlightening. I felt it changed my world view on lawnmowers. {g}
Re: #firstworldproblems
Date: 2011-01-20 03:02 am (UTC)Haha EXACTLY. Beings that flying lawnmowers are quickly becoming extinct, we must worship them like the wondrous beings they are.
