Today was a good day
Aug. 26th, 2025 10:13 pmToday was the Performance review meeting. I was getting a little nervous when I was home. It usually goes well but sometimes especially this past year some things will reflect badly on it. I was wrong. It went exceedingly well. I had the opportunity to express my concern that Gargoyle was once again overstepping boundaries. He said he would speak to her and ask her if she came across any documents on the desk (not accusing her). He did reassure me that no one thinks I am difficult to work with.
I reminded him that I am on vacation next week. I reassured him that I will work on TD about the new procedures of sorting and the scanning part. We will do that Thursday for a little while. I believe she is going to be out on PTO for a few days next week too.
The rest of the day I worked on the scanning but still have some left for tomorrow plus what every PBC leaves me which shouldn’t be a lot.
IT will be contacted tomorrow to install the EPIC program on the computer, as it is needed for scanning and information lookup. I waited nearly an hour on the phone for them to answer. AC recommended I call tomorrow.
I left the office feeling accomplished. I don’t have to worry about Gargoyle or my job. As long as I do my part and stay adaptable.
Another interesting event occurred. Gill informed me via text message that there are some kittens available free of charge. I am seriously considering adopting one. I need more time to consider; a few resemble a tiger. A few people in the group chat are also considering it. Gill hopes Jackie will take one.
I have already told a few people so far and one person suggested that I take the kitten for a day or night and see how it and Sky get along with each other. I am not doing that. I will not bring it into the house only to remove it again. Once an animal enters the house, it remains here for the rest of its life.
I had my session with Debra. We discussed work, my dress-buying experience, and remaining wedding tasks. We also discussed the pros and cons of getting a new kitten. In the end the final decision will be mine to make. We won’t be meeting until the 16th
Oh and finally earlier today I learned that Milford was visited by Dolphins yesterday. I'm not sure if these are the same ones seen in Fairfield or farther along the shore, but I love them. They have also been spotted in the New London waters as well.
