I've decided I really like the perks that come with Hubby's new job. We are off for 3 days to stay in a Villa in La Quinta (by Palm Springs) for no charge. He has to start checking out the properties he represents...and over course he needs his assistants to go along with him. Woohoo!

Yeah, well, it's that time of year!

Krista is my boss. Okay, technically my supervisor. She's great!

Yeah, cute. But I'd kill the man who proposed to me on TV, or even in front of a group of people. Put me on the spot like that so that a refusal would embarass everyone, and the first person I'll embarass is YOU, buddy.

Arg. I keep trying to deliberately sabotage myself. I think. Example: I'm filling out my own evaluation because my supervisor doesn't know how. And I really want to mark that I am not recommended for the regularly scheduled promotion because I honestly don't feel that I've really done anything here. Not that it's my fault - they refuse to allow me to move outside of my narrow little data entry box. But, I haven't really "grown" or learned much, so from an objective view I don't merit promotion. But, no one gives a **** except me. No one else in the universe will care that I sat in my cube and surfed because I literally had nothing else to do. As far as the culture here goes, it's strictly a butt-in-chair issue; my butt has been in the chair the required length of time, so I go up. And my supervisor will sign whatever I put in front of her - either way, since she won't read it. A reasonable person would probably check the promotion box and send the forms on their way. However, I am not a reasonable person. I'm a neurotic twit who feels that is dishonest and that I should remain at my current level because I haven't earned a promotion yet.

And that is just one of the many things on my mind today as I try to figure out what punishments I should accept/encourage and which ones are psycho-brain sabotage.

I really hate being me most of the time. It's exhausting. I need a nap.

Well, you don't have to be you. Be whomever you'd like to be.

Being the you you're used to, and the you your mind is wired to behave like is NOT the same as being you. You don't have to be the default you. You can be the new you anytime you have the will to.

I'm not recommending that any version of you lack integrity.

But a you that believes you're not worthy of promotion simply because THEY gave you no opportunity to demonstrate that worth is a you that should be jettisoned.

imho.

Stop thinking only about yourself. Put the needs to the company first. After all that's really what these reviews are all about. So step back for a second and ask yourself: Would the company be better off if I was promoted?

I think you know the correct answer.

I am now officially a Creepy Uncle©

My late step dad's grandson (aka my step sister's son, aka, my step nephew) was in attendance last weekend for the memorial.

He.
Is.
Gorgeous!

Fortunately (in this one sense) it was sunny and I could keep my sunglasses on while I oogled him from across the room. I felt dirty, but could not stop staring.
