Just another Sunday

It's nice to not really have anything much to blog about!

The errands are done, the holiday groceries are procured, and the cleaning has commenced.

It's a gloomy, windy day, but there is no sign of winter.  It's going to be in the 60s today.

I have managed to see all of the holiday programming that I want to see every year, and the greeting cards are starting to accumulate.

The only thing that's wrong with this holiday season is the morale at work.

I had typed out lots of details here, but decided not to share all of it.

Suffice to say, we're used to being treated pretty well at the holidays.

There were no bonuses, but we were given a couple of nice, fun parties, one of which had awesome prizes, such as my coffee maker, and the two days off I won.

This year, we are being punished for the inappropriate actions of some of our co workers who have all since been fired...months ago.

(they thought "dirty Santa" meant DIRTY Santa at last year's luncheon)

The Tulsa office gets to have their parties, and our office gets absolutely nothing at all.

No expression of gratitude and appreciation for a year of hard work.

So, yeah, it's unpleasant to hear all of the grumbling, and to feel grumbly myself.

I was doing sort of okay with it, but it started to bother me at the end of last week, when some stuff happened that just made it all worse.

There was a showing of blatant and overwhelming favoritism, with people leaving work in the afternoon to go party together, and then lying about it....and then with some taking off work Friday to go to the Tulsa office for THEIR party.

The rest of us had to stay at our desks and work while they all went off and partied on the clock.

Yeah.
Nasty.

Anyway....aside from the annoying low morale at work, everything's going well.

I just keep trying to focus on the good stuff that happened at work this year, like people pitching in and helping me out so much.

I am clearly not one of the favorites, but I am extremely grateful that I didn't have to go unpaid, and I didn't have to leave my job because of my  treatment process.

That helps.
