Drama to End All Dramas!

Wow - I've never had drama like this in my life. I take that back, outside of the obvious (Isis, the whole relationship with her father, and Kevin), I've never had drama so bad that I was physically ill about it. I pinched my back nerve (again) so I took some pain killers, I'm sure that didn't help the nausea, but still.

Without going into too much detail because A) it's too much to type, B) it's too personal to a lot of people, and C) it will get me stressed again, I will just briefly outline what's going on and then rant and rave about how I feel about it. So you remember I said that one of the CFA's has quit? Well when she gave her exit interview she made quite a few allegations against a few people at work, one in particular. I guess the accusations carry quite a bit of gravity because the person who they were raised against has not been to work since Monday, on administrative leave of some sort. We haven't been able to contact this person at all and yesterday we had inteverviews with an outside investigator.

This outside investigator is evil. She is on a witch-hunt for the person the allegations were brought against, even though to my knowledge the allegations are completely false, have no evidence or merit, and were done out of retaliation. The Evilness basically gave me the third degree, treated me with disrespect, and had nothing but attitude for me. I was told by the Evilness that I couldn't speak to anyone about our conversation and I said "No, I'm going directly to my supervisor not necessarily about the content of this meeting, but definiately your attitude." I made sure to let the record show that I felt she was biased and unprofessional. I was so worked up over the meeting (and my back hurt so bad) that I had Dane come pick me up from work and take me home. I spoke with HR and the Finance Director before I left and voiced my concerns. Then I went home and tried to eat and vomitted my 14 tater tot lunch. :-(

Basically the CFA who left is the biggest piece of work you can find for miles. She spends all day on the phone, doesn't do her work, and says that everyone else is "favored". Well if she did her work, she'd be "favored" too, or rewarded rather. And when I say reward, I mean a pat on the back. I haven't been given vaca time or a big fat raise or anything else because I'm a superstar or favored. I'm sure in other posts I've voiced my feelings about this CFA. Just yesterday I was told that she hadn't done the September billing for DHQ store yet. No biggie, I know all the info is there, I'll do it (this is for a unit that I used to handle before the July transition). I go to do it and come to find out that she hasn't billed DHQ since I handed over the unit!! That's 4 months of billings totaling over $10,000 of money owed to the unit!!! AND THE BILLING FOLDER IS SITTING RIGHT EFFING NEXT TO OVERDRAFT NOTICES FROM THE BANK FOR THE SAME UNIT!!! In Lamen's terms, she had the info at her fingertips, spoon-fed to her to reimburse the unit so they would have cash to operate and she didn't do it so the unit suffered several overdrawn checks and such. How fucking lazy do you have to be dude?!

Anyway, high on percoset and upset over the Evilness I still managed to get the June - October billings in less than an hour yesterday. And that's the effing difference between that lazy, fat, slob and me. So call it favortism if you want, I'm fucking glad that skank ass is gone.

I'm still worried for the employee that the allegations were brought against, even if the investigation came back fine, I wouldn't want to come back to work after all this. I'm not sure if this employee will want to come back either. Poor thing. And I'm not sure how it may affect the remaining CFA's, we'll just have to wait and see. If they take away our flexible schedules, I'm going to ask to go to an hourly schedule. We'll see. I've been trying not to be too upset about anything till I know what to be upset about. With my back all hurt and crazy like this, it basically makes a nice little well for all my emotional tension to become physical tension that I can feel in my body inhibiting me from even putting my socks and shoes on. I'm so pathetic.

In other news - the surgery is still on and I've been reading up on the internet and in books on it. I'm scared. What did I get myself into? Being vegan is awesome! I love it. I eat all the time and yet still struggle to make 1400 calories a day. Plus I just plain feel better, I feel healthier, lighter, things go through my body much easier, I eat a lot less than I used to, and my cravings for bad food have completely dissipated. Even the other night on a boat party where no one knew me and I could have been the biggest meat eater (they had roast beef and smoked salmon) I chose not to be. Of course the salad had bleu cheese crumbles (no-no), the mashed taters were mashed with milk and butter (can't eat that) and even the effing broccoli was steamed with butter (WTF?!)!! So all I could eat was a couple slices of bread. We stopped at Taco Bell on the way home because I was so hungry I was ill and TB has the most vegan friendly menu of the fast food variety. I got two bean burritos fresca style (no cheese or sour cream) for $1.73. Dane said he liked this me being a vegan thing - it helps keep his wallet fat. :-)

I've got some (not all the work that I wanted to though) work done today and now I think I'm going to get the house ready for the Cmas tree, or as much as I can what with my back all fuckered up. :-(
