I have never purged myself of so much stuff as I have done with this move ... I have thrown away so much junk and have a huge Rubbermaid thing filled with stuff to sell on ebay ... it feels so good and I am so proud of myself ... but it does prolong the unpacking experience ... which isn't really all that fun ... to say the least ...


well I just needed a little email break before I go and finish the current box I am unpacking ... I sure hope we finish soon so I can take new pictures of the place ... :)

Well today I got confirmation ... this woman called many people within the company and let them know that I was the GM's daughter ... so my secret is out ... I no longer have to have 2 personalities ... sad to see one go ... I liked being judged on my own merits ... I liked that it didn't frighten people to talk to me ... I like that I was just some chick that was doing great at a job that no one else worked hard at ...


I don't like being perceived as a nark or spy or tattle tale ... I don't like that this woman decided not to like me even before my first day of work [for I can be quite likable] ... I don't like that she was such a dumb fucking bitch and went and told people ...


they are fake now ... they are cautious with their words ... they treat me more delicately ... I mean it isn't all that bad what the fuck do I really care ... but why be such a bitch ... I would love to call her house and say "you stupid dumb bitch" on her answering machine ... especially since this is a 43 year old woman that has never seen an R rated movie because of the language ... but I watch out for my karma and it has gone to the companies legal department so I would hate to get the company in trouble ... then I would be the dumb bitch ...


today I have been at this job for 3 months ... so that is a pretty good amount of time to keep a secret ... especially one so big ...


and she did get laid off so there is no more encountering her hostility towards me ... "good riddance to bad apples" ... it just sucks that someone would be so immature ... we did laugh about it a lot today ... cause it is pretty stupid ... but still ... I will no longer be Liz ... I will be Liz the GM's daughter ... ahhh what can ya do ...


for me ... right now ... I can go work on unpacking some boxes and making myself happy with the progress ... I want it all done by weekend's end ...

This has been one rough week ... starting monday night I tossed and turned cause I knew the axe was falling at work ... it was all I could do to get myself into work on Tuesday because I knew it was doomsday ... and since the woman being let go seems to have a huge problem with me the lawyers recommended we not come in contact with each other and avoid all conflict ... easy to say ... hard to do when our office is about the size of my apartment ... but I did my best ... when I saw the 2 hour packing job was almost over and she was putting things in her car I went out into the warehouse until the ordeal was over ...


the 3 of us in the office breathed a sigh of relief ... when there are only 5 people total in your office ... 4 women and a man and the man travels often it is hard when one person hates their job ... hates a coworker ... and stomps around with a sour attitude ... so the 3 girls felt good when it was over ...


now I have kinda mentioned before but I work for the same company as my dad ... he is the GM there ... but not nearly my boss ... he is my boss' boss ... there is no conflict of interest ... I get paid less than the girl that was there before me ... I have double the skill ... work twice as hard ... and go by my first and middle name so very few people know ...


the woman who was laid off felt I was the reason because I was "the boss' daughter" ... that is fine ... even flattering she thinks I have that much power when I am truly the pee-on in the office but whatever ... so in her review she proceeded to write a lot about how horrible I am and how awful it is having to work with "the boss' daughter" ... so some people found out who I was ... fine I can deal with that ... I wanted to be judged on my own merits not on my dad's but whatever I can deal ... we are in the satellite office doing marketing so whatever ...


but yesterday I came to work to find out this person has been calling the sales people ... leaving a message on their voice mail saying "I have something of interest to share with you" ... while working for this company she never interacted with the sales people ... and we have figured out that my real last name is what is so interesting and needs to be shared with these people ...


first off ... my first words were "dumb bitch" ... it is hurtful ... she was told specifically not to share the information ... in all honesty the sales people knowing who I am isn't going to make my life harder ... it would in fact make it easier ... there would be no more snotty letters ... I wouldn't have to beg and cajole to get reports in on time ... and everyone would be sweet to me ... it would be fake as hell and I would hate it ... but it wouldn't make life harder ...


and who calls and leaves a voice mail message when trying to do something underhanded ... you send an anonymous letter ... leave a message and don't say who you are ... I mean come on this is revenge against work 101 ...


just typing this has exhausted me ... I don't want to be treated different at work ... I don't want my dad to take any flack ... I just want her to stop being a force in our work lives ...


but mostly ... right now ... I just want to sleep ...

I am a diehard Alias fan ... at this point in life if I were allowed to only pick one show to watch [and god forbid that ever happens] I would choose Alias ... I just watched Sunday's episode [the "big game" ran too long for me to stay up and watch it on Sunday] and it has to be the best episode yet ... Jennifer Garner is so fucking kick ass ... and the story line ... twists ... turns ... plot are awesome ... I stay on the edge of my seat the entire time ... I highly recommend the show ... and I look so forward to next Sunday ... :)

For those of you that watch the Super Bowl only for the commercials ... here they all are

well we are finally in our new place [actually we have been here since Friday] ... what I should say is we finally have internet connection ... we had to go wireless because the only cable outlet in the joint is in the living room and David was going to have no part of wires all over the house ... besides he thinks the wireless is so bitchen ... and since my dad, brother, and I [David] all compete for the coolest computer equipment we are now ahead ... none of them have wireless ... :)


so the place is beautiful ... I've been walking around hardly able to believe I live here ...


the unpacking is going fairly well ... it is taking a bit longer than usual because as I unpack each box I throw away half of what is in it ... I am trying to purge myself of the shit I keep carting from place to place ... I mean with this being my 8th move since 1998 it is time to get rid of some stuff ... this home is pretty permanent for now ... so there is no reason to keep crap that makes me feel I am home no matter where I move ...


for example I have chucked the party crown I wore on New Year's Eve 1999 ... I never do anything on new year's but since I was living in Vegas near Kris she begged me to go out and spend the evening with her and Chevy ... so I obliged and had an alright time [ate too much spicy bean dip and spent the evening after the ball drop on the floor of the bathroom but OK] ... I have this ridiculous toy collection ... probably reminiscent of my Grateful Dead touring days where fun eye candy kept the excitement going ... so the lame toys went in the trash ... the good ones I of course packed in their own little toy box for safe keeping ... mounds of paper and notebooks from school went into the trash ... I mean come on ... the last time I dropped out of school was 1998 ... do I really need notes from my Hotel and Restaurant Management class? ... I didn't need them then what the hell would I need them now for?


David walked by and saw the three huge bags of trash sitting there and had such an impressed look on his face ... made me feel good ... cause I can be a pack rat ... I will admit that ... and there is something quite liberating about getting rid of stuff that you will never miss ... plus I have found some awesome stuff to sell on ebay ... so once we are unpacked the garagebay sales begin ...


but for now I must get back to unpacking before I head off to bed ... tomorrow is going to be a gnarly day at work ... I overheard conversations today of a layoff ... and that is never ever EVER fun to be around for ... trust me ...


so happy to be back online [but fear I will get nothing done now]

I am much happier since my last post ... just stressed out to the max ...

the woman in question has changed her attitude and we are all getting along in the office ... sure makes it more fun going to work ...

tomorrow is moving day and I have been a looser about packing ... leaving a host of things to be shoved in boxes tonight ... as I see it right now I won't get to sleep till we get the bed put together tomorrow in the new place ... but who knows ... maybe I can stop procrastinating and get some shit done ...

the movers are going to be here at 8:30 tomorrow morning ... that means I have 16 hours to get everything done ... I have survived on very little sleep this week but I'll make it up over the weekend ... and I do have tomorrow off so I don't have to get up at 4:30 AM if I do get some sleep I could sleep in till a whopping 7 AM ... that is like weekend sleep ... woohoo ...

so David is on his way to the post office and I am going to try and get something impressive done while he is gone ... little goals ... that is what I have to do ... set little goals for myself ... :)
