My Journal #2

Its raining and no rainbows

Write about the rainbows in your clouds

Right now I have none. My week began ok then on Tuesday I got an email cutting my hours in 1/2. Now normally I'd be happy as its still summer and that means I would get more sun time. Not now since it has rained off and on almost every day for the past 2 weeks. My vacation in August which was approved as I wrote asking to work from the branch office, now is rejected.  I get my vacation pay, its ok since I only get paid for the 4 hours a day I would have worked, Now I get paid for the 4 hours and I don't have to work. There is a good side to that.  I get to spend a week with my daughter and not work!

I had planned to go to the NW Book fair this Sat but since we weren't able to go out of town last weekend, this weekend was Mr. Perfect's target. I wanted to go as it would be my first time and I wanted to see the success of it as I might want to peddle my book next year. That's not going to happen. (me going that is)

I had to give up going to my monthly "Ladies Night Inn" and try making a new appetizer of tator tot, bacon and a mix of brown sugar and cayenne pepper (I might have used Chili pepper as I like the flavor more). Anyway, that's out for this month and next month. (see above)
My only Rainbow is a weekend with friends. I will enjoy the time but I would rather be there with my laptop and notebooks and just write!
The next time Mr. Perfect has to go out of town, I will ask the house's owner if she (and husband if he is willing) to go and I will drive. Leave Fri AM and come home either Sunday Afternoon or Monday morning so I can go to work for 4 hours (for their sons). 1-5.

I'm a little depressed. I like my job. Its boring at times and I could do it from home if they would let me. I get the feeling they don't think I bring enough business in. However, I have lots of repeat business that they think they will get even if I'm not here......Hmmmm? How much did they get before I did this? They think now that they are getting repeat business through out the year it will sustain them? 

Enough. I'm not seeing any rainbows. The Rain has stopped outside. I see a patch of blue. Its 12:00 and I'm going to eat my lunch and come back here to write for a little while before I have to put the nose to the grindstone.  Unless I get a nasty email saying WHERE IS MY DAILY REPORT????
