Just Another Day
Had a boring day at work yesterday. Had to talk to the "boss" about an issue I was having with a co-worker. God I hate doing that. I feel like a whiney snitch or something. Some school aged girl crying "He hit me!!" Anyways, Sherby was hired to do accounts payable back in November because the woman that was doing it obviously had another job to go to. Well, I was hired to do payroll and backup the financial director back in July of 2006. Apparently he and I were the two candidates for the job, but I won because (I was told) I had great ideas on how to make changes within the company to make it run more efficiently. So back in Oct-Nov my boss asks me to review the AP receipts after they are posted, make any changes and approve the correct ones. I know how to do AP as I did it at my last job and learned the system here so that if someone went on vacation or was out, I could cut a check if needed. So Monday I talk with my boss regarding questions about some invoices and bring them to him with the corrections. Now mind you, I am not his supervisor and we are on the same level of the food chain. So I am explaining to him what needs to be done and he gets defensive. He says "Shouldn't I hear this from the horses mouth instead of you? Unless there is something going on behind closed doors that I don't know about." So I tell him that I've been doing this under our bosses order before he started working here and if he had a reservation to talk to her. He is also supposed to give me the AP checks to put in envelopes and distribute to employees or dump in the mail. That's an audit requirement here he doesn't do it. So I tell boss lady what he said and that I am now uncomfortable telling him what corrections need to be made and yada yada yada. She says that she'll talk to him and explain that she doesn't have the time to do it herself and he'll just have to swallow his pride and suck it up. Maybe I'll suggest to make me the Accounting Manager (since they don't have one, boss lady is Financial Director) and I will over see AP and AR, get a raise and then there won't be an issue. Fat chance of that happening. I can see his point, but don't question me, question boss lady and let her know that you don't like it. I can see his point, but again this was being done before he started. Dumb asshole.

Went for a walk (about 3 miles) last night with hubby and Robbie (6yr old). Robbie rode his bike while we walked. I wasn't feeling to well so I thought the walk would do me good. We didn't walk at work yesterday because of meetings and such. It was a nice walk, very nice. Had a nice evening. Hubby went to work at 9:30 and I sat up until midnight playing my World of Warcraft.

God I hate it now that he's on midnights. I just feel that we don't get our "alone" time anymore. I miss him so much it eats me up inside. By the time he gets home, I am so damn tired (4am) I can't see straight. But damn do I miss him. I miss him not holding me at night, calling me during the day at work to see how things are going. Me calling him during the day to see how his day is.

I do love the time to myself. I love the fact that I finally have a minute to breathe once Robbie goes to bed and he goes to work. I can watch a movie or something I DVR'd or play my game. I guess there are pro's and con's to everything.

We got a court date for the 15 year old yesterday. May 10th at 2:00 and I still feel terrible. I said to hubby how hard this is because he's been good. Doing things around the house without expecting money for it and such. Hubby says it's because he knows that he has a court date coming soon, but he didn't know when. I told him how the consequences for his actions just kill me because him being sent away in a detention home seems so extreme and that there's got to be a better recourse. But like he said when Thomas is bad, he's out of control. We've done everything for him and he needs specialist to help him to prepare him for "adult hood" He has a learning disability and I can not imagine him living on his own, holding a job or even driving a vehicle for that matter. Hubby thinks that we can't help him with those things because he doesn't want our help. I don't know, passing him off to a state agency just seems like such a lame cop out, but I think of his future and maybe it will be better for him. Better now then being in jail for a few years, since he turns 16 next week. His probation officer talked about locking him up in a detention center while his court is going on. Maybe a month or so there might help and he won't have to be placed for such along time. Hubby said that in family court (New York State) that if you get sentenced by the system, it's a 12 month minimum sentence. I guess I would rather have this then him in jail or possibly dead.
