So I thought the week was going well. On Tuesday I went down to D.C., to the Department of Homeland Security, for "Take Your Child To Work Day". It was pretty great showing the kids our magazine. I went with them to the presentation on border patrol dogs, and got to see two very cute puppies. All of this for work.
But then I learned that I was basically being forced to join the new project management team. This means no more editing. Since I was hired to be an editor and want to be an editor, this isn't exactly my idea of a fun job. Though everyone knows I am super organized, so I do make a good manager. I don't want to really go into details. The powers that be are trying to make it seem like I was given a choice in the matter, and that this is what's best for my career. But that's all ridiculous. So who knows what lies ahead with the job.
Anyway, I was stressed out and really upset all Weds/Thurs. And I had a lot left to edit on this book, that I just really wanted to finish. So I was not in a good mood.
So Friday I edited, then went to buy a tent (since we're planning our first camping trip!), and planted my lilies out front. Then I had my monthly massage, came home and had a nice dinner and watched Desperate Housewives for a few hours. All nice and calming, and John's been super understanding of my crappy mood.
Then today my graduation/birthday present arrived...a new laptop! So my mood is improving. (Actully FedEx tried to deliver it yesterday, literally 5 minutes after I left for my massage. Why did I not leave 5 minutes later?)
We have a BBQ tonight, which will probably be good... unless I get annoyed. We'll see. I will bring wine, I think.
