Got on the bus for work this morning and Sean and Todd immediately sat me down between them, hugged me and told me stories about their impressions of the Indiana Jones movies, a role playing game called "Adventure" and they both did Mike Myers impersonations at me for the rest of the trip.
Sean hugged me the whole trip - it was purely platonic but damn it felt good to be hugged ...
Well I'm at work now - time to stop sniffling and put my game face on.
EDIT: Twelve hours later and I'm home again. I survived.
Some sleep and then see what round two brings tomorrow - I bet the Union rep will be asking for my dismissal again :) I had the temerity to not sign a time sheet today because the staff member falsified his times.

Hoo boy! No advice on the poker face bit - I can keep my facial muscles under control, but my eyes give me away every time... And if I'm angry, I've been told that my pony tail literally stands up. So just lots of good thoughts from here...
I'm not angry - it would probably be easier if I was angry. Just tired and worried - and not just about work ...
Oh my, Mel. How DARE you not sign a falsified time sheet!!
That was kinda *their* attitude too :) :)
I didn't think you were - just empathisizing as my own "tells" seem to be pretty obvious to people who know me...
Ah thanks for the clarification! And yes - I don't so much wear my heart on my sleeve as dress my self in it .....
Yesterday I was busy with a new project so I ignored the fuckers. Lets see what today brings. And I'm not going to tell them that I now have Friday off work :) :) :) :)
Oh and surprisingly, the arsehole hasn't handed in his correct time sheet yet.
Heh - will he get paid if he doesn't hand in a corrected one? {evil laugh}
Well, my poker face always leads everyone to believe I'm mad; I guess I'm supposed to run around with an idiotic grin on my face all day - which would look reallly stupid every time I mutter under my breath how f&^%ing stupid someone or something is (occurs about 30 times a day on average). Though when I really am mad, I think that's pretty obvious, too - that little black storm cloud over my head must give it away (if I had a throbbing vein sticking out on my forehead, I'm sure I would have noticed it or been told about it).
Falsified time sheet, huh? Isn't that grounds for dismissal? Or at least a write-up? What an asshat....
Oh he has definitely been written up! His latest defense I see this morning? That he believed that he clocks on when he enters the building, not when he was actually at his desk and ready to work.
Amazing! {sigh} Well, at least if the "thing" at work happens, I know the employees I'd be inheriting and their work ethic... although I do confess that I hate some of the "management" bits that go along with all of that - actually writing reviews most recently comes to mind, along with writing job descriptions!
Don't forget Performance Evaluations !!!
Good luck honey - hoping it all works out for you !!!!!
