So here is my TUSAL update for this month: (the new part is the little tuft on the left).
A lot of brown. Which is from:

| Unleashed by Anne Stokes. Stitched on 18 ct black Aida. 2 over 1. |
Unleashed. This is page 9 in progress. Look at all that brown!! It's a little blurry, sorry about that.
Okay, so what else? Hmm...
I despise one of my co-workers. I really do. I know that almost all people have one of those that they just don't get along with. She gets my goat something awful sometimes. I usually try to not let it get to me, but sometimes it is very hard. Trying to be the bigger person sucks sometimes. Seriously. Take today for instance, it was just her and me. She has this thing where if I piss her off, she doesn't talk to me. Which of course doesn't bother me, but makes in a tad hard to work together if there is no communication. I have no idea what I did, and I am not going to ask her. It made for a very interesting day, with no talking except for when absolutely needed. (Sometimes I wonder how to piss her off just so she won't talk to me... Yeah. Read the name of my blog).
Our daughter goes to daycare... well I don't consider it daycare anymore. But it is the same woman, J, who has watched her since she was about 3. J calls me this morning to let me know that DD may have been subjected to lice. WHAT?!?!?! Great. So J took the day off and is going to check DD when she arrives after school. Guess this will be fun. I am hoping for the best!
My bunches has an interview tomorrow. Please keep him in your thoughts, we really need for him to get a job. Even if it is part time.
So with not being on to read up on all of the blogs I follow because I was sick, I did that the majority of today. I was super happy to go Serendipitous Stitching, here and find that I had won the drawing. I have posted my email addy on the post so I am hoping to hear from Jo soon. Thank you Jo! Go check out her blog if you haven't yet!
Because the holiday's are quickly approaching and the new year is not far behind, I need to start looking into what my goals (stitchy related) will be for 2013. And in hopes that there is a January SAL to start a new one each day, or the first 15 days, (whichever), I need to see what I will be doing for that as well. (Anyone know if there will be one yet for next year? I have received a few links, but I haven't found anything definite yet). Of course I know that since I have posted that, there probably is something up and I haven't seen it... I am also thinking that HAED will be doing another freebie SAL this year, but they won't be announcing that for probably another couple of weeks.
OH! before I forget, I have quite a few new followers and I would like to say: HOWDY! Thanks for coming, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your stay while here. If you blog and I am not yet a follower, leave me a note and I will follow your blog too! :)
Cheers!
That's a nice TUSAL collection! Sorry to hear about your unhappy work environment. I am lucky enough to work at home and the only ones who bother me are my cats and dogs. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you, that is a years worth, with home and work stitching. It has gone down a bit in the last few months.
DeleteYou are lucky, unless you get attitude from the cats, LOL!
Great TUSAL and I am a new follower - Kaisievic from Kittenstitching - http://kittenstitching.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI had problems with a work colleague last year who bullied and harassed me - it was awful. Work was good about it, though, we went through a really good mediation program that did help with the situation. She has since left - yay! - which means my work is really good again. Good luck and I both sympathise and empathise.
Thank you! I am now a follower of your blog. Love the kitties!
DeleteGlad to hear your work situation got better.
I am also excitedly waiting to see if HAED will be doing a freebie SAL next year. Hope that the work situation gets better.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat TUSAL! Sorry about work, good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSorry about work!!! It's horrible as unfortunately, we do spend a lot of time at work... I think like you, your being the stronger smarter party by ignoring it. She'll get bored soon :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's something I deal with weekly, so I have grown used to it. Sometimes it just bothers me a bit, (like yesterday).
DeleteSorry to hear you've been ill and not felt up to stitching! You have produced some orts so that's good.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to enjoy your job when people make life difficult!
I am feeling better, so stitching has come back into my life. LOL I missed it so!
DeleteThank you!
I used to have a colleague like that! The funniest thing was all the managers used to move him to a different department every couple of years because people got so fed up with him but they couldn't sack him because he never did anything bad enough.
ReplyDeleteEventually someone joined another company and got a bonus for recommending him to work there too so we were free!!
Headlice - recommend the Nitty Gritty comb, it's got long spiral teeth and is the only thing to get the eggs out as well as the bugs. It's about a tenner but worth every penny. Google it!!
I wish they would transfer her, but I am highly doubtful that would happen. I have learned to deal with it. Sometimes one just needs to complain...
DeleteThank you for the information, I will be posting an update soon on dear daughter and the lice situation.
