Good Morning campers!
Just me and my thoughts this morning..so much going on in this head of mine... work is a mess..hubby leaves in a few days..actually now he is leaving on our 25th wedding anniversary and the 5 year anniversary of my Mums passing...to say I am stressed is an understatement..
First work...
The office manager is being a real bitch again...she made another employee cry by screaming and cussing at her..this is the 2nd employee she has done this to this month..then she tells them they can't tell anyone about it and asks for a hug..who does that? I mean come on...scream and cuss and then wants a hug? she has some serious issues....I want to tell the docs what is going on so bad but learned the hard way last time..so we all have to bite our tongues and put up with the crazy woman....she will NEVER hug me again though..it creeps me out..
Hubby leaving...he is driving me nuts...it's all about him..poor him..leaving for 6 months..how awful it must be to be away from your family for that long etc etc..let's go out and get him a Laptop..an Ipod and a digital camera so he can have something to do while he's gone..poor guy...6 months on his own..in his own room..doing whatever he wants after work..no chores..no kids...sightseeing..partying...experiencing a new country and culture...your wife will be fine at home..working..paying bills...taking care of the house..the kids..the dog..the yard..the pool.. the shopping the cleaning..the driving everyone where they need to be...
Anyone see my point here or am I just being a whiny baby...LOL.. you know I'm being sarcastic..I have done this so many times before...we go through this every time but it doesn't get any easier and the fact that he is leaving on our 25th anniversary is just the icing on the cake...I'll be fine I always am..I just want him gone...that may sound weird but when he's gone we just get on with it..it's the anticipation that is killing us....go already and then we can start counting the days til you get back... ;-)
You know what I haven't done lately? my list of five good things..so I'll leave you with that...it might do me some good to look to the positives...
1. I have the next 2 days off.. ;-)
2.. Hot starbucks coffee this morning...
3...great haircut...
4....Ryan is feeling much better....
5..... My beautiful backyard..my sanctuary....

Can she DO that, that woman? Legally I mean, terrorising the staff then, in effect, blackmailing them? Keep a diary, I would. Sorry your silver wedding is going to be in tatters, Never mind, he does an important job. I see where you're coming from though with 'get gone so we can count the days'.
love, Angie, xx
I'm sorry about your work situation, it sounds awful ~ isn't there a law against that kind of abuse? I believe there is, no matter whether the Dr's cater to the evil one's whims. I understand about the "just getting on with it" about your husband being gone ~ men seem to be like that lol ~ at least from my experience, they are like children at times aren't they? (not that I have that much experience with men :-x ) One day a woman's role will really change in this world ~ I hope. Can you imagine if the situation where reversed and he was the one that had to stay home and take care of everything? lol ~ hmmmmmmm. And leaving on your anniversary, that's tuff. I'd be upset just about that if not for anything else. I hope you enjoy your two days off ~ I NEED A FABULOUS HAIRCUT!!! ROFL. Hugz** Teresa
manager may have some issues, but that is harrassment. Can't be a nice atmosphere at all. GRRRRRRRR Sorry hubby leaves on your big day.. sending you hugs (good hugs I swear LOL) to help get you thru
d
oh geez....that sounds like where I work...ugh....
If roles were switched men would have a hard time taking care of all that we had too...most would never make it.
Michele
Yes, it is always good to count your blessings !!! Turns things around in a MARVELOUS way. Like you say THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Hang in there !
'On Ya' - ma
men are so bloody selfish, marks the same, he works full time so it means he gets the lay in, weekend fishing, i only work part time, am up most of the night with Ty, start my day at 7am and get home around 10;30 grrrrr!!!! Ive got the bloody full time job!! Beckie x
I totally understand your frustration....the waiting IS the hardest part...just GO already so we can start counting down the days till you get your ass back here. I completely get it. I also get the part that upsets you. My hubby is going away on a business trip for a week at the end of the month....a high class hotel, seafood dinners, baseball games with clients....while I am home with three kids and schedules and dogs and appointments and all sorts of shit that needs to be done to hold this group together. Oh yeah, I get it. And my hubby is only gone for a week....6 months? Yeah, my sarcasm would be at its PEAK right now.
But WE will be here with you while he's gone....so vent away!!!!
((hugs))
Jeanne
PS...And you can reach me on Myspace you know...because we are FRIENDS....yes, I DO remember that, it was just a momentarily lapse....(lol)
Hey, I'm getting old you know!!! (LOL)
Your nor whiney. My beloved has been gone on six months, home two weeks and now back in Iraq for six months.
So I shall be more than happy to share a cup of Starbucks with you.
Laini
Awww Lyn I am hearing what you say on both subjects.A still tongue keeps a wise head.In any job one is only a number,but I am afraid I couldn't cope with her The Madam she sounds.My tongue would be doing somersualts lol!!I wrote a rhyme in my early days in J/Land .It is called DONT TELL ME on the very subject of men and how hard women work.I always liked it as one of my best LOL!!!
GET GONE i'll join you in saying it too lol!! I wish I was closer we would enjoy the space together Haaaa.You Take Care God Bless Kath astoriasand http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES
Your boss is a TOTAL CRAZY woman, she has major issues!! I could also understand being angry that hubby is leaving, but just think... after the kids are grown, you can go with him on all his trips... won't that be fun!! = ) Love hearing your five after all that.... a hot Starbucks sounds really good right now!!
Joann
Lyn what an awful atmosphere your Office Manager must cause ~ she sounds like your worst nightmare ~ surely there must be something you can do about her behaviour !!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's get Hubby out of the door so we can start counting the days for his return (and YES I do see your point :o( ~ and I agree with you ~
So sorry his departure is on two such important events in your life ~
Good to see your five good things back ~ Ally x
OMG you have the american version of my boss!! "I am a very nice person" is her best saying and control freak is not in it> Sorry you are a bit down ,thinking of you Louise xx
I am so sorry about the timing on your husband's departure...
She asks for a hug? What a freak. I've run a few medical
practices & if I'd asked for a hug I would have probably been slapped with a sexual harrassment charge. I've worked for drs who cursed & screamed, but I never did that as a manager & always defended the employees who were treated in such an inappropriate manner. Anyone cursing & screaming all the time over work related problems needs medication & needs to remember to take it every day.
You are not being whiney, actually I joked with you about it in another comment on a different entry, but I know how it must hurt. Saying you'll be fine, you always are, isn't true, & that is ok. You always "act" fine, but you feel very badly. Totally normal.
~Mary
Hey Lyn, My bags are packed so I am going to say screw moving I will just come visit you! LOL Oh I have so been there. Hubby's want to bitch but they could not hang if they had to do our job!

I remember well the pain of being an armed forces wife. If my ex could do it he would take the car with him when he went as well. (When he was on courses and such) which left me and five kids with no transport and having to beg rides to the grocery store and such. It used to really annoy me. I know what you mean about wanting him gone already so then you can be looking forward to him coming home. The last ten years or so of our marriage I never wanted mine to come home. I guess that said a lot! I was happier when he was gone! Glad it's not that way for you! Love your thankful list as always!
love,
Marie

The office manager sounds bi polar. Complete understanding here on your husbands departure. Love your list.
Julie
Deployments suck.
One deployment Jesse was on, he called me at 10 at night wanting sympathy because he was in Europe. I answered the phone and he said 'What are you doing?' and I said "Cleaning vomit, washing clothes, and holding your sick child. Also, the dog has diarrhea." That was the last time he called me whining about deployments...lol
Slip some vodka in the office manager's coffee. What a crazy...
~Amy
I agree with Julie. The manager sounds bipolar!
Missie
the boss needs some damn medication.....PRONTO. She screams then wants a hug? I'd want to smack her in the face.
I understand why you feel the way you feel with Lester leaving. Wow, and on such a special day and one that also makes you sad.....what terrible timing for you!
love you SO
Hey Lyn,
Awww I'm so sorry your hubby is leaving on your anniversary. That sucks. You're right it doesn't get easier. I had to do it my whole married life.
The office manager sounds like a problem.
Nice list of things to be greatful for.
I meant to tell you I added nine entries the other day the first ones are of Lauren's last dance recital with pictures and videos. I know you like to look at pictures. Take a peek if you get a moment.
Hope you have a great day.
Take care, Chrissie
Awwwww Lyn, I know all too well about work stress, sorry your hubby is leaving on your anniversary, Love You Lisa
They are 5 GREAT things to make you happy. A kick ass hair cut can change your world, lol. And I know what you mean about having your backyard perfect and place you can escape to. I miss mine ... it hasn't been that since my fibro got bad and I miss it like crazy. And of course having your kids well is all any mother wants.
I understand what you are going through with hubby ... your not being selfish at all. Go look at yourself in the mirror and admire that hair, you will feel better. ;o)

I'M FEELIN YA GIRL.....I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BEING "SARCASTIC" SOMETIMES IT HELPS TO JUST OPEN UP THE WINDOW AND SCREAM....I HAVE HAD IT AND I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT ANYMORE....THEN JUST SMILE AND SAY....THAT FELT GOOD.... :) HANG IN THERE XOXBARB
My daughter is getting a swift introduction to this life come Sept. when her husband goes off to Iraq. He's signed up for a 1 1/2yrs and plans on signing up for another 6 years while he's over there. Hope you know you will have all of us here to keep you company. I know it's not much condolence in the knowledge he's going to be gone on your 25th wedding anniversary. In the end it's a simple date, love is a lifetime endeavor that will still be here when he gets back. (Yes, I'm practicing for all the things I will need to say to my distraught daughter while her husbands gone *winks*) You know I think the world of you dear friend. (Hugs) Indigo
That's a real poke in the eye, hubby leaving on your anniversary. I know what you mean though by wanting him to go. The waiting is the worst part.
But he probably does deserve an Ipod. ;O)
B. x
as one "military" wife to another...you being Navy...I am Army....you are active....we are retired..20 years...(finally LOL)...and it is hard when the hubby is away....(thank goodness mine never whined about it all LOL0L...or maybe he did...just not to me????) hope alll goes well with hubby....seems just like he just came home???? oh well....like you say...you have your house...yard...pool....and I am sure some good books stashed away LOL...just roll with the punches sweetie....and that boss of yours sounds like a witch from H.....L.....sheesh....God Bless...hugs...Ora
we need to see the hair cut!!!
Well Lyn, what can I say that hasn't been said already? I do feel for you and can totally understand why you're feeling the way you do right now. Not only grief at home but at work as well! Hang in there, remember we're all here to listen when you want to rant and rave and you can do that as often as you need to! Love, Pat
http://journals.aol.co.uk/pm71blackfen/ramblings-from-pat/
Glad you ended with some good things because you are stressing me out! LOL Take a chill pill. I know it is difficult on you both. It's too bad that he leaves on such a significant day. As far as that chick at your work, she snaps, realizes what she has done and doesn't want the big bosses to know obviously. Maybe she needs to be reported for yelling obscenities at people. Anyway, take care.
Phil
Oh man, they should have a policy or something about anniversary dates not being allowed to be deployment dates!!! This means you are going to have to start celebrating like now!! Many hugs!!!!!!!!! Ay yi yi crazy woman at work... I would so not let her hug me either LOL .
Lisa
Enjoy those two days off -- sounds like you really need them!
Russ
Uggg! The man would drive me nuts! I don't blame you, you've got plenty on your plate. Yes, that offcie manager is a manipulative bitch. Eventually the Doc's will figure her out. She's not a Doctor's wife is she? I'd say I hope it gets better, but probably won't for a whil (until she is fired, quites, or commits suicide like my last wacky, alcoholic, supervisor who was a sanke in the grass. hugs, Bethe
have a good scream lyn lol sorry love ok? must be hell for you though. thank god for gardens i go n hide in mine lol take care mort xx
I can understand your frustration. Six months is a long period of time. I remember when I took a vacation with my kids for a month without hubby--I was envious of him for being alone for a month; and of course he just felt "miserable without me." The anticipation is hard I know--saying goodbye will be hard, but you will get through this. Do something fun this weekend-you deserve it. That boss you wrote about sounds a little disturbed; she wants hugs from people after she cusses them off? Weird, and a little looney!! Julie
Poor Lyn ,it must be so difficult for you ,the sooner he goes the sooner he comes back ,but you dont want him to go in the first place ,or something like that ,bless you ...love Jan xx
WOW............. stress levels must be hitting the roof.
The office manager sounds like a right Biatch........ is there not a way you could type up something and make out it came from a patient ?...they could stay anonymous.
Hope you manage to get through it all
hugs Jayne
If the group would write something up as a complaint about this woman's behavior, it might be uncomfortable but management would have to do something about it. Its the divide and conquer that always allow the office bullies to continue getting away with stuff. It is not acceptable in today's work place for someone to lose their temper and use foul language at a person, not acceptable at all. She should also not invade a person's personal space by hugging them. I'm sorry, but I am too mouthy, I'd take a step back and let her apologize the first time, but the next time would definitely be worth holding her responsible and accountable.
I always found it tougher when my military spouse came back home. Because I was so used to doing it all on my own, it was hard to let go of the reigns and let him help. You've had a lot going on recently, with the trip and family stuff. I can hear the stress in your words, and guess I understand because I've been there, done that, lol. Hang in there, and enjoy that sanctuary! God Bless!
You are so right. Anticipation is horrid and I imagine having your husband away for six months can not be an easy gig. As for that awful woman in your office, someone needs to take her to task. Hhhmmm, I could do a little spell.
Love,
Susie
I can see your point. He's away, your NOT ! Your home dealing with all the family stuff , he's NOT !
I think you need a J-land party over there.
Come on....you know you want it !
love ya
E.
I know it is late but big hugs on this entry! No you are not being a whiny baby about hubby being gone for 6 months. It stinks.
Traci
Aw, Im sure you have been stressed to the max!! Bless you. I know what you mean about the anticipation though. I hope things have calmed down a bit. OMG....that is a craaazy biatch at work!! Somebody needs to catch her tail in the parking lot...LOL Hope you are having a good day!!
Hugs
Carrie
I totally get your point. Yep...definitely.
Weird about the office manager. There HAS to be someone to talk to her. That behavior is unacceptable on any level.
Good luck sweetie,
Pam
I grew up a military brat and the preparing was always way harder than when my dad was gone. You are so right...the sooner he was gone the sooner he'd be back!
(((HUGS)))
