I woke up feeling worse than death warmed over to the dog barking at the cat who was getting sick on one of my pillows. Grimm has reached "tattle-tell" age. Everytime he sees the cats doing something that is wrong he barks and barks at them until they stop or I yell at the cats/him.
I trudged into work, took my cold meds (Advil cold and sinus is AMAZING!!), drank my cold care and throat coat teas and buckled down to work. Spent the better part of 1.5 hours on the phone with Verizon about the bills for our T1 lines that suddenly had a total of $20,000 in "unpaid balances". I had the proof that we had paid and in fact that the bills from last month showed no carry over balances. I got them to mark the file in a way that the service would not be discontinued (as it's what carries our signal to the company that shoots it to the satellite having service stop would be bad for a TV network).
I got my first paycheck. It's only for one week, but it's double what I was getting from UI so I'm thirlled
Ran errands for work.
At 4 my iPoop on shuffle hit me with one of those songs that makes me sniffle when I"m NOT depressed. "A boy and his frog" came on. Sorry, on the 1 year anniversary of my mother's passing I didn't need that song. My supervisor saw me wiping away tears as I was desperately trying to hit "next". He asked what was wrong and I just said that the wrong song came on my iPod. He nodded then blinked. He asked if today was the day. (Last week I had mentioned in passing that this week was the one year anniversary of mom). I nodded and returned to work. A few minutes later he said that I could leave early, just wrap up what I was doing at that moment. I was touched, and yes, I did bail early.
Came home, changed, made a frozen dinner and then got to work on the scroll for Three Ravens. I got it done. It will go in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully they get it by Monday.
