Brrr, cold today.  Don’t like that at all.  Feeling icky today.  First day of TOM, and I’m having abdominal and lower back pain that I usually am not plagued with.  Waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in. 

Yesterday was alright at work.  No meetings, so that was good.  I haven’t mentioned the news in our department:  Last week, the boss told me the “lead” admin is leaving the department.  (Actually, the other manager told me the week before that, but I had to pretend I didn’t know because she wasn’t supposed to tell anyone.)  Anyway, that was the good news.  The bad news is that she’s going back to her old department in a newly created position (still administrative), but the department is situated on the same floor as ours, right next to ours.  So she’ll still be around.  The other bad news is that we won’t be replacing her because of company budget constraints.  But the boss thinks this is actually the best outcome that could happen.  After a lot of issues over the past couple years, it became apparent she really didn’t work well with others.  Once I was no longer supervising her, I pretty much kept my distance because I didn’t trust her.  I’ve also noticed the new admin didn’t mix with her much after she became comfortable with her job duties, and when the lead was assigned to work on a project w/ the other manager, they also butted heads with the usual problems.  So I guess I agree with the boss, because I think the lead was headed towards termination at some point, and it would have been ugly.  This is the best outcome.  Actually, the best outcome would be if she was working on another floor, or better yet, outside the company, but we’ll deal with it. 

Last night’s bone density test went fine, and I’m in the normal range, so I don’t need another one for two years.  Dinner was eggs and bacon and an English muffin.  I was over my calories for the day by the amount of the 3 pieces of Halloween candy I ate last night.  Bf took all the candy he wanted and put it away, so I took the rest to work this morning.  Of course I couldn’t resist digging into it on the way to work, how weak is that?  But it’s now on the counter in the coffee room and it should be gone in no time. 

Brought my lunch and snacks to work today.  No meetings again today.  Plenty to do though.  Tonight is the movies.  We’re seeing “The Invention of Lying”.  That’s about it, so I’ll get this published.
