*Let's out a huge sigh*
Well, I couldn't hand in my resignation
yesterday either because Mike was substitute teaching all day for a public
service program for the Houston Bar Association.� Then he walked in RIGHT
as I was getting ready to leave for the day and and had a few things that needed
to get done before he left to go to Dallas today for a deposition.� Well,
around 4:45 we started receiving several documents on the fax machine that were
pertinent to a hearing taking place today for that Harris
County Constable that I wrote about previously.� Mike was to attend the
hearing but now can't because he is under Court order to be in Dallas so two of
the other attorneys in the office are to attend.� I made copies for
everyone and one attorney who had already left for the day happens to call in
and tells us he wants them scanned and emailed to him.� Fine, I was ready
to do it and email them, but Mike took them to that attorney's paralegal and
told her to scan them, and she got up from her desk in a huff and walked past me
complaining that it seemed like she was the only one around there who knew how
to scan documents.� I felt this was directed at me and that put me in a
foul place.� But I followed her and told her that I could do it, or, while
she was scanning, I could email the other documents he requested, and she
retorted "No, its fine."� Alright.� I offered to help.�
But then I felt like I needed to give Mike my resignation right then and there
and asked if I could speak to him and he said no, he didn't have time and I was
just trying to pick a fight.� Whatever.� And before I walked out the
door, I made sure I offered my assistance to her again and she said no.� So
today I am sure my co-workers will be bitching about me again for one of them
having to "do my work" as they are wont to do.� I don't feel good
about going in today.� In fact, I am just downright uncomfortable around my
co-workers.� Its one of those situations where, if they are all sitting and talking togeher, the conversation stops as soon as I enter the room.� I hate that feeling. Other issues of note: Babysitting:� Still
no luck finding part time care for Travis.� I posed the offer to my sister
in law, but, seeing as she never wakes up before 10:00 a.m. we are probably
s.o.l on that one.� She said she will have to think about it as it would
mean she would have to be out of the house by 7:00 a.m. on the days she would
babysit.� I called one of the day cares near my office that does partial
weeks.� No one answered the phone, nor did they return my calls.� I
have asked around and nobody knows any babysitters who will do partial weeks. Andrea Yates:� She was released from
jail yesterday.� I have mixed thoughts and feelings about her.� Yes,
she DID kill her children, there is no argument there.� But is she guilty
of murder?� I suppose technically in the State of Texas she is.� But
my thoughts are that she is sick.� VERY sick and there is something
fundamentally wrong with her.� To harm your children is so far removed from
the essence of being a mother, that there HAS to be some kind of illness
there.� Yes, post partum psychosis exists, but there is something else
wrong.� Munchausen by Proxy is a syndrome in which women harm their
children in order to seek repeated medical attention and attention for
themselves.� So there are precedents here. Academy Awards:� I really just don't
care about them anymore. I
think that does it for today. Song
Virus du Jour:� "Limelight" ~ Rush Useless
Trivia du Jour:� I have NEVER watched a single episode of
"Survivor."� In fact, I don't watch "reality" TV at
all. � �
