What's that? Oh yeah, it's real life ...

[dizzojay]

Oh heck, it's been one of those weeks.  New job is keeping me more than busy - not that I'm complaining, mind you; it's challenging and absorbing, and I got told yesterday by my new Manager than I'm picking up it up really well and that she has complete confidence in me.  After five months of being ignored and totally unappreciated by Gaz, I can't tell you how much that meant to me!

On top of that I've suddenly developed a social life!  Three evenings out this week, a delicious birthday meal with my lovely con buddy Viv on Monday,  a great evening carrying out a complete and total character assassination of dicknob ex-manager with ex-colleague Sue tonight, and off to Woking to meet my friend Jane tomorrow night.

Then off to the Isle of Wight on Saturday to catch up with my parents!!!

Bazza and I have just been 'ships that pass in the night' this week.  We spent a full 20 minutes together today, and that's 20 minutes longer than we managed to spend together yesterday, when he had a night out, and I missed the few minutes he was at home because I worked late!

This whole real life thing, I tell you what; it's bloody exhausting!

Anyway, before I call it a night, here's some baby Jensen ... because, well, why not?

Why not, indeed! :D

Congrats on the busyness, hun, and the obtaining of that rare and precious social life. And yay for a boss who recognises the awesomeness that is you.

I do love having a social life, I just wish it wasn't all at once!
And yes, I've actually got a boss again who asks me if I'm ok and appreciates what I do :D

So glad that the new job is working out well for you! You deserved the recognition from your new boss! Yay! After asshat treating you like you weren't ever there this is so deserved! And that's great that you're social life picked up too! Whoo! Sorry that you and hubby are missing each other though. That sucks! Will he be there for the trip over to the Isle of Wight?
*Hugs you*

No, I went on my own this time. He comes over about every third visit, but my Mum and Dad like to have me to themselves sometimes :D

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's too sweet! :)

It was a lovely weekend; hectic, but lovely :)

Look at that, you're gonna be all social butterfly if you aren't careful! Just, make sure you make a little time for each other hun! *hugs* Well done for the job, I knew you'd nail it, and it's wonderful to see someone paying you the compliments and attention at work that you deserve!! ♥

Thanks Hun; it is very rewarding to actually be in a position where someone actually cares about you. My old boss Sara did, but I'd almost forgotten how much I appreciated it!
:)

You deserve every minute of it :)

Mmmm Alec....
Crikey I hadn't realised you;d had to out up with dickhead Gaz for FIVE months, time really does fly, doesn't it! Yay for new managers who actually appreciate their staff, birthday dinners and socialising!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yes, five months with that charmless twat.
Happy now to be in a position where I can get some appreciation! I'm meeting up with the other girls on Thursday - it'll be an evening of total Gaz character assassination! :D

So glad the new job's working out! Life sounds good, after all the drama.

Also. Pretty, pretty Alec. Stares.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yes, things are settling down nicely!
and ... pretty, pretty Alec indeed :D

"I got told yesterday by my new Manager than I'm picking up it up really well and that she has complete confidence in me." Hooray for a decent manager who acknowledges your skills and ability, so much better than an ignorant tosser like Gary! And well done for settling in so quickly, I knew you had nothing to worry about!

Have a lovely weekend with your mum and dad xx

Thanks hun; it certainly feels good to have a bit of appreciation for a change. I'm meeting up with my lovelies on Thursday, so I can feel an evening of complete and utter character assassination coming on :D

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I think Gary the tosspot's ears will be burning on Thursday night! I'm really pleased your new boss is a good 'un and you're settling in well, but it will be nice for you to meet up with your lovelies, too.

I am so glad to hear that your new job is going splendidly. It does make a difference when you receive positive reinforcements, doesn't it?

It's nice to know someone has a social life. I have to question, what is that??? It's been too long for me. Hope you have had some time by now to spend with the hubs.

Ooooh, love the gif. So sweet, our boy. Hair is longer, this must be from Smallville? or Dark Angel??
