Friday

Big day today. When I asked my boss for time off for court he gave me the run around because he and this other guy are going to be out of the department and I have to be there. I was only going to be gone for like 4 hours. Geesh. I was hopping mad, stormed off while announcing "Yeah, I'm sorry my divorce is getting in the way of a half day of work." Uncaring man. He called me on it, made me go outside to talk to him about it. I apologized but honestly stayed pissed off most of the day.

Yeah, this court date only has to do with my future and the visitation of my kids. No big deal. In my mind, ten times more important than a stupid day in my department. So he wrote a letter and I submitted it and my attorney is going to ask for a continuance. This will be the second or third one. I'm so freaking sick of it all.

I also was pissed. I show up before anyone in our whole department, take no breaks during my day while they all enjoy their smoke breaks, take half hour lunches so I can keep on top of my work and work overtime at night, all to catch up. So when I ask for 4 hours off so that I can go almost finalize my freakin divorce I would expect a little civility, perhaps even a little understanding. Stupid people. Well if the judge does not continue then I'll take it to the HR department (who is friends with my boss), or maybe my boss's boss.

Can you tell I was a little mad today? I still closed about 4 claims and worked on 3 or 4 new ones in addition to all the other ones I'm processing. I'm probably the best one in our department (after my manager) and I've only been doing it about 6-8 weeks.

Tonight I have the children for the weekend. Fun fun fun. Tomorrow is some event and Sunday we're having lunch with my parents. Should be a good weekend over all. They were so tired tonight. I'm headed to bed in a few minutes too. My new furry friend sleeps with me. I love her so much already.
