The Peanut Chronicles

Drama, jokes and annoyances...

No way will I bring Peanut to work with me. I was considering it before I gave birth. Everyone wants to see him. But after today, with the security breach, there is no way that is going to happen. That’s all I can say due to confidentially issues. Scary shit though.

On a lighter note though, once a week I share my office with another person who comes in from another agency (sort of) for the weekly meetings. Today, I really needed to pump the boobs. However, she was in a meeting when I finally got to the office (dude, weather and traffic sucks!! 2.5 hours today!!). Breasts were very full and heavy and I really needed to get the milk out so I put a note on the door and then locked myself in the office. She totally understood, having a child herself. Later in the afternoon, when I had to do it again, I waited until she was out of her office. This was after all the drama and I was looking forward to locking myself away. She comes in and I sign to her “Hey, I have to be a cow!” She busted up laughing. I also pointed to the new sign I made for the door for people to know what I was doing secretly if the door was locked, shades drawn and I was in the office. What did it say?

“The cow says… moo!”

Well, of course!

My small annoyance for the day comes from the reader of my thesis. I sent the rough draft to her, as requested, on Thursday of last week so that she could read it this week. I got an email from her today. I was prepared for the worst and still thought in my head, “wow, that was a fast turn around time!” Yeah, wishful thinking. The email informed me that she just had printed it today and would read it over the next TWO WEEKS.

Ok…. Don’t get angry… DON’T GET ANGRY….

The paper is due, in it’s entirety, layout, research, everything… MAY 1ST. Two weeks from today is April 18th. Then I only have 13 days to more then likely re-write the thing, get it to Bluebird for publishing, get it back to me (from NY) and submit it to the school. Plus, if I want to do the grad showcase (which I am leaning towards) I need to register by the 21st of April. What makes it more annoying is that, while I could understand if she had a lot of thesis’s to read, I know it I s just me and another girl and the other girl is done!!!

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion I am getting screwed here?
