The new candidate / temp started yesterday. I was hoping that I would be able to actually train her, but my bosses keep interrupting and giving me "rush" items to do and weird, once-in-a-blue-moon personal crap to do.  Plus, they have been coming in each day (although, they won't be in Thursday, they have a landscape guy coming to the house...gotta have your priorities, right?), which is always counter-productive.  I asked for them to bring in the other gal (who trained me) today, you know-- to pick up the slack, but they decided that a good use of my time and the candidate's time is to finish the mailing portion of our quarterly project.  Folding materials, stuffing, sealing and putting postage on envelopes.  Yup, that's WAY more important than training or finishing pending items.

I guess they are just going to have to be good with me not wrapping everything up on my desk and actually finishing some training before I leave.  Disappointing.

I should tell them that I changed my mind and I am taking back my offer to work the MLK holiday Monday.  I thought we'd be working hard training and would need the extra day.  Sure, I'd wanted a break before starting my new job, but I was willing to take the hit in order to benefit my replacement.  But if their priorities are this out of line, why should I put in the personal time?  A holiday weekend sounds good right about now!

Ack, this stress has caused me to put on weight!  Well, the stress-induced stuffing of my face with trail mix, zucchini bread (made with my new Kitchen Aid mixer) and candy, has caused me to put on weight. I'm wearing my fat pants!!!

And I've been up since 3am. Better than yesterday though.  I woke-up at 2:30am yesterday.
