09-06-22 Mean Girls Can’t Break Me
I was so happy to get a what’s app pic from my friends in the UK showing me a sign. Well, they were sharing it as they saw Yoda in the sky today but I see it as a calling. The spot for you, this is.
I got to work and people were friendly and said they heard good things about the weekend. And then as I settled into my office I loudly hear a speaker call asking for coffee orders. It was made very clear they were going to get one for reception and I heard a friend ask if he should come ask me if I wanted one but there was sudden silence and no one did. I mean, I don’t actually need anyone to buy me a coffee. It was just fucking rude. I have asked on more than one occasion if there was something that needed to be fixed and assured no. So I am going to try to let it go, and let their toxicity poison them. It is making me consider giving my notice to a particular client so I will not have a need for an office there at all. It is my ultimate goal, and my contract just agrees to give notice so… sooner than later, I guess. Working from home for the winter wouldn’t be so bad anyway. Not much gets dropped off there anymore since the mere presence of my drop box in the store room seemed to be causing issues. Grumble grumble sigh.
I did get a few things done, including entering the income from the weekend and readying the deposit, paying the few invoices I was given and replying to insurance and payment questions. Tomorrow I have a meeting about a client that I requested be at my office space but it seems I must go to one of their offices. I know the two people I meet with flat rate bill so it would seem unreasonable for me to have to bill for travel time. I will go for a very specific length of time and see how it goes. People with two businesses I would like to support in Kimberley have reached out on a referral from an accounting firm to see if I could be their bookkeeper but I just don’t have the capacity. I am going to see if my friend would like to take them on as they are currently using Sage which she seems very familiar with.
After work I dropped off the chair bag Bill B couldn’t find when he finished his volunteer shift on Saturday night. I met his wife and she is just a huge breath of fresh air. I adore great natured older people, so inspiring.
Dinner was easy to make and tasty but I seriously want to snack the night away. I am going to have to make some low call snacks available like when I first started Noom. I have started seeing myself as slimmer in the mirror but it is the body image issue I have always had. I look relatively the same in the mirror whether skinny or fat. I only recognize my true shape in photos. I saw photos of myself that Murray took and I am way fatter than I think I am. I guess I’d better pare down the diet again and get off this plateau.
Hmmm, I am starting to think that I should transition to home as it will be more like what it would be living abroad.
