Sorry, but my dog ate my blog.

I’m running out or excuses for not updating my blog. I have been sick the last couple of days and it has really been dragging me down, but that’s not a good reason either. There’s been some stuff going on at work that I really can’t talk about. Barney is doing better. I have actually received some compliments and people have said they have seen some change in his behavior. He’s still not a super star, but I was definitely stressed and working extra hours when he was on vacation a couple of days last week.

There’s a new Controller at work. I think I’ll call her Attila the Hun. The VP of Finance (my boss) had been looking for a new Controller for a long time, so we all figured Attila would be amazing. Nope. Every time we have a meeting it goes an extra hour due to Attila asking questions about general knowledge stuff. I think the VP is starting to realize she made a mistake.

My dad is doing well. He just sent some pictures of the condo he is leasing for the next couple of months until he finds one he wants to buy. He called me last weekend. That’s the second time we’ve talked since he left. You can just hear it in his voice how relaxed and happy he is. I’m happy for him.





I went out to the Elephant Bar last night with some co-workers. One of the people in Finance is leaving (Molly), so we all went out to say goodbye. It was the first time I had hung out with anyone other than the IS Manager. That’s not good after being here for 4 months. Anyway, I think some people got to know me outside of my normal stuffy work self, so those people were a little more personable at work today.

At my last job, I was never really friends with anyone. There was people I got along with, but no one to ever go to lunch with. I’m hoping this will be the start of having some friends at work.

That’s enough for today…
