Job Vent and Shopping While Intoxicated

So a week ago Monday, I got my annual review at the jobby job. Nothing but good things, but I need to be more consistent with my arrival time in the next month as we get two new people from the main company over here and they are use to a stricter schedule. Damn blackhole of time that I stumble across most mornings!

Then we talked about the coming transition. The accounting side of our company is going to start doing our own full accounting cycle. Normally we do some, but send it over to the main bldg for the majority. This will cut the current 7 people’s (by hours spread between a lot more folk) salaries we pay to three people’s worth. So this will mean 4 full time peoples' responsibilities will need to be dispersed amongst three who already have full-time jobs. The math here is, um, unfavorable.

Now then, the three of us will all have other duties besides accounting still. "Accounting" here encompasses 4-5 speaker companies and the wine company for daily payables, receivables, tax stuff, international stuff and so on. So you can imagine how much the company will be saving. So when she was happy to give me $0.25 raise or $500 additional a year, I was a little less than thrilled. My motivation kinda walked off and got distracted by the internet and blog names. It's the wrong attitude, but I still feel a little sulky a week later. Kinda wondering if this is what I needed to set me free to look at moving to Denver, Albuquerque, Texas or wherever new with friends.

But first I went home and drank a bottle of liquid benefits from the current company. Talked on the phone with an old Rolla friend in Albuquerque (ABQ from here on), and shopped online. Bought some shoes (post pics another time) and bought a pole dance spinner pole. This pole is not like the cheap toy ones. This is a professional X-Pole Xpert 45mm. I was both appalled and excited to see I ordered it the next morning. I got a good deal... about $50 less than most places due to my thrifty discount code searching, lol. It arrives at the office on Thursday... office because it has to be signed for. The reason I've not bought one before is that my sweet, baptist Sunday school teaching mother would prolly do more than frown at it. But she's not home as much anymore (more on this later), so hopefully I can set it up more often than originally thought. Ok, so maybe I shouldn't shop online while drunk, but maybe it'll work out... maybe, lol. Did I mention I'm excited?
