Two walks, two quick trips to the same grocery store, laundry, played bridge online, ordered groceries online for pickup tomorrow, watched episode 3 of Inventing Anna.
 

On my early morning walk at 6:30,it was 'balmy' outside 37,because of the warm temps most of the ice on the sidewalks was beginning to melt
I went on another walk around 9:30 2 blocks to local co-op needed couple items. It was windy 25mph,came back home in about 35 min I thought about going out again this afternoon but the winds were picking up. The rest of my afternoon,read NYT, local paper
 
I knew I was tired yesterday,went to bed around 10:30
When I woke up this morning,was surprised to see it was 6:55. This was the 1st time since Jan I didn't wear my winter boots when I went on my early morning walk at 7:15. I walked halfway down the street doing my rendition of' Singing in The Rain'
My plans today to do some dusting,if its not raining too hard around 11,go outside& walk around the apt complex The rest of my day read NYT/local paper,tonight watch repeat of fav new show 'Ghosts' at 9pm on CBS
 
Heading up north to check on a friends house, as she has been in Georgia for several months taking care of her Mom, and is returning next week. Have to turn on the water and make sure the plumbing and heat are good to go. Will visit another friend while there, and have one of his cigars. Not a smoker for 35 yrs, but still enjoy every once in a great while. Then back to town for grocery shopping, and the library. Mike
 
Well it's 5.30pm just getting dark and I've had a completely eclectic day.

To my new job..as receptionist at the private clinic... then once finished there, to my art class for 2 hours, and learned a new kind of crochet/knitting, using a plastic frame ( can't remember the name of the thing), and making hats for Prem babies.. ...

then drove over to a large town 20 miles west..and got some facial beautifying ( brow wax etc).. pondering whether to have micro-blading done... . My beauty therapist said it lasts 3 years..however I've just googled it, and my research has found that mostly it only lasts 1/2 that time , around 18months in fact .. so I'll do a little more research into it, because it's not cheap, and it's painful to have done ..

Did some Bricks and mortar banking.. then drove to the next town to the factory outlet Mall which was absolutely jammed packed because it's 1/2 term for the schools, and colleges, .. .. but got some real bargains there from the store that sells end of range stuff from the designer stores.. Picked up a clear mascara in the Beauty shop outlet.. but I didn't have my reading specs on , and when I got it home it turned out to be Clear lip gloss ...it looked exactly like my clear mascara.. :ROFLMAO:..I tell you, I do this more and more, seems almost every time I go out I pick up something that's not quite right, I'll need to start wearing my reading specs when I'm shopping..

While there I got my Booster Vaccination.. there was a Walk-in Pharmacy so I was able to go in and out again in 15 minutes....so now I'm feeling very tired..

Put the car in the garage because we're forecast for storm Eunice tomorrow, with 100 mph winds in some places. so I don't want a tree falling on my car..

@hollydolly Yup. Definitely an eclectic kind of day 🙂

My day? Anybody interested in my vent? I don't know whether to be insulted or have my feelings hurt. Last week my supervisor and I were absolutely delighted to welcome another pair of hands in our department. She's young, smart and so far, dependable. Until today, she's been personable and easy to get along with.

Um. Today when our supervisor was gone inputting next week's schedule, she told me that she has noticed that I'm unproductive after about 11am. She told me I'm whaaaaat?

First of all, who the heck is she to tell me anything? Second, I work my tail off from 6am until noon five days a week. (She's there 9-1 or 2 four days a week.)

Yesterday she wanted to know what I do "so early". Um? Yanno all the racks and racks of cookies, cakes, croissants, pies, breads, etc., that you see when you get here? That's what I do "so early". Where the dickens did she think all that stuff came from? The tooth fairy didn't work all night long doing it!

I sincerely doubt that she has asked our supervisor what he does when he comes in "so early" at 4am.

I have many, many things to do from 11am until I leave at noon, but I didn't think it was necessary to justify to her what it is that I do. She also told me that the things she's seen me doing don't have to be done by me. Huh? I guess that same tooth fairy does it all in his/her spare time.

I went upstairs to find supervisor, told him that I was clocking out and must have had a look on my face or a presence about me that screamed "pissed!!!!" because he asked what was up. All I said was that I was upset and needed to leave. It was already 11:30 anyway.

Since when does an employee of two weeks tell another employee what they've observed about another employee's behavior, work ethic, or any other damn thing having to do with the job? She's not my superior, and I don't take my directions from her. My supervisor tells me what to do. I do it. He's told me more than once how grateful he is that I'm a work horse (his words) because he couldn't have managed otherwise when it was just the two of us.

Tell ya what: I've been a direct-report and had direct-reports. I'd rather be one most of the time. This time? If I'd been her supervisor and she'd said this stuff to another employee, I'd have torn her a new one and told her to mind her own business.

While I'm ranting, I'll just throw in the age card. I'll be damned if I'm going to justify my work existence to someone who's 50 years younger and only been on the job two weeks.

Tomorrow morning supervisor is going to want an explanation. I really don't know how to address this without sounding like a nasty old bitch or a tantrum-throwing teeny bopper.

Open to suggestions about a reasonable way to handle this without throwing her (or myself!) under the bus.
