Monday Off

Master had me set the alarm last night for 8:30am so He could get where He needed to go to pick up the paper work for His drug test and take it to the clinic that would be performing it.

However, upon reaching said 1st destination they said that they had forgotten that just because they are open today doesn't mean everyone else is. Sure enough the clinic to do His pre-employment drug test was closed today. So they asked Him to come back tomorrow.

So we headed right back home. I completely understand the misunderstanding on their part, as all my previous jobs have been open the day after the 4th of July, but it was still irritating to a point. I wish they had called Him, but perhaps they did not realize their error until after He was already there. They seem like really nice people there, from what Master has told me . Hopefully He will still be starting the job on time, which would be this Thursday.

On one hand I want Him to start ASAP, on the other it would be easier if He didn't start work until next Monday since the driver of my carpool is off this Thursday and Friday. But either way, at least He'll be working soon! He is extremely anxious to start work as well. He's been talking about how much He wishes He was going to work tomorrow on and off through out the day. :-) Poor Hubby.

His mother had called because she wanted to know about this job that Master is taking the pre-employment drug test for. But since she didn't understand some of the "lingo" she put her husband on and Master told him, who in turn dumbed it down for Master's mother. She's not a stupid woman, as far as book smarts go. But when it comes to blue collar work or anything remotely blue collar related she suddenly becomes dumb as an ox.

Me? I'm a blue collared girl at heart. But I have a white collar job. I hold a lot of respect for people who do blue collar work.

Then there is my own anticipation for news at my job. I am trying to remind myself that I won't have an answer to my transfer request ready and waiting for me when I arrive tomorrow morning. I know this. But it doesn't stop the butterflies from being in my stomach. I know that until I have my answer, that I will be anxious every minute of every hour that I am at my job. Hoping, and waiting, for a phone call or an e-mail asking me to come to her office.

However I will have to resist the urge to contact her frequently regarding it. The last thing I want to do is seem like a pest about it. Pestering people "above" me at my job scares the hell out of me. I'm always worried that they'll get irritated with me, which does not make for a long career. At least those are the thoughts in my head on the matter. Especially since this person is basically 2nd in command of the whole company. She handles the hiring and firing, obviously. So the last thing I want to do is get on her bad side. Although honestly she seems to like me. So that's a good thing.

And now I'm just running myself in circles, thought wise.

I will eagerly be awaiting an answer from her, as well as a phone call from Master tomorrow.

Another Meme

This is another meme I've found on other blogs, however I have removed the questions already answered in the last one I did. If I repeat some of them however, forgive me.

1. Fail moment in the last week?

Probably walking into a file cabinet at work. You know, the file cabinet that hasn't moved like ever and I have walked past a hundred or so times? Yeah. That one.

2. Most memorable job?

Probably stripping. Some happy memories, but more bad than good.

3. Favourite pizza topping?

Meat Lover's or 4 Meat, which ever is readily available and has the most types of meat on it.

4. Last thing you ate?

Wheat Thins with peanut butter on them.

5. Movie you want to see?

Iron Man 2, I think. I have heard things that both make me want to see it and yet want to avoid it.

6. Weirdest thing you’ve had in bed?

Swords. Kinky huh?

7. Word you edge into every conversation to make yourself sound superior?

Quantify!

8. Name you thought would be really cool to give the fruit of your loins without really thinking it through?

I don't have an answer for this.

9. Thing you think you’re slightly too anal about?

My computer settings.

10. Thing you wish you were slightly more anal about?

The organization of my dresser and closet. I get it just how I want it and then, somehow (cough) it ends up in disarray again.

11. Proud moment?

Getting hired at my current job.

12. Dish you can cook with confidence?

French toast. I love french toast. Unfortunately Master does not care for french toast so I never make it.

13. Reason why you’re doing a meme instead of a real blog?

To pass the time. I will be doing my normal blog post a bit later this evening.

All Over the Place

Master and I have been having great sex lately. He's been more Dominant during it and before, which is really nice. Today in fact He walked over to me after an episode of a show we were watching was over, grabbed my collar, yanked me off the couch, and then led me to the bedroom by my hair before using me. It was delicious.

So far we've been having a great weekend, and I still have off tomorrow! Yay for three day weekends!

We've been lazy and mainly stayed at home, which isn't a bad thing as it is extremely uncomfortable outside due to the heat. Just taking the dog out is a chore.

Tomorrow we can't sleep in though, as Master has to go to the place that is hiring Him to pick up the form so He can go pee in a cup for a drug test. Hopefully it's one of those quick ones so they can call Him that same day and officially offer Him the job. I know nothing is going to change the fact that He has this job, but I will feel better after it is official.

I am excited to see what my business manager has to say about my transfer. Deep down inside I know I will be severely disappointed if she decides to deny my transfer request. It's not that I hate my current position by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that I am extremely excited about the transfer possibility. The thought of learning something new, a higher pay grade, and getting the hell away from V, the coworker from hell.

If the transfer request is denied I will do my best to not allow it to affect my work. It will most likely be difficult at first, since I want this so badly that I can taste it. I know I can do better than the position I am currently doing. I know that I have more talents than that. And I am looking to transfer for those reasons.

But one thing I have convinced promised myself is that if this transfer request is denied, I will try again in a few months or maybe a little longer than that. I will continue to ask for a transfer until either it is granted or they tell me to stop asking.

The only problem is I don't know when my business manager will be getting back to me on this. I don't think it should take very long, but as I said in a previous post she is an extremely busy woman. I'm hoping that it won't take long. I'm hoping that I know by the end of this week, but that may be asking for to much.

Lazy, Lazy Day

Today has been an incredibly lazy day, which I have enjoyed. Master was a bit bored about it but there really wasn't much to do outside, plus it was 84 degrees out. Blech.

Since I had been so ill last night I ended up sleeping for about 12 hours straight, minus Master waking me up when I fell asleep on the couch so I could move on to the bed, curl up, and immediately fall back asleep.

But this morning I woke up feeling rather weak, but okay other than that.

So the only non lazy thing I did today was run down to the grocery store. I only picked up enough for what we needed for dinner tonight, but still. The sucky part was that the grocery store didn't have their air conditioning on and the place was packed. :-|

We had brats for dinner. I was kind of surprised there were any left since tomorrow is the 4th of July. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Once I got back home we relaxed and watched a movie while we ate dinner. I've been loving the lazy day. Master, as I said, not so much. So I reminded Him that once He starts working His tail off soon He'll appreciate the lazy days a bit more. ;-) That made Him chuckle.

Meme

1. What is your first name?

Kitten (I don't post my real name on my blog, silly people.)

2. Were you named after anyone?

My blog name? No. My real name? Well.. no. My middle name is apparently taken from some chick that my dad had a crush on while my Mom was pregnant with me. :-| I find it kind of creepy. My Mom told me this. My dad denies it, although he admits to having had a friend with that name at the time. Although I do like my middle name. It's pretty.

3. Do you wish on stars?

No. I used to when I was a kid but I don't anymore.

4. When did you last cry?

Oh man, like last week? It was when my neck pain was so bad that I couldn't see straight. I have a high pain tolerance, so that tells you something if it made me cry.

5. Do you like your handwriting?

I like my version of cursive. I don't like my print though. Yes, I said version of cursive. I don't write in cursive as you are taught to in school. I have created my own! Ha!

6. What is your favorite lunch meat?

I don't have one.

7. What is your most embarrassing CD?

Now? I don't have any CDs that I find embarrassing. Other people might be proud of having Weird Al CDs but Master and I are! When I was growing up? *sigh* It was a Creed CD. *shudders* My mother had asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted a CD. She knows I like hard rock and heavy metal. When I asked her WHY she bought a Creed CD she said, "I thought they were a new hard rock band." Um no Mom. Christian Rock, however you try to color it is NOT hard rock. I was able to exchange it thankfully.

8. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?

Most likely. Although I would probably think I was a bitch, but one of those bitches you want in your corner.

9. Do you have a journal?

Not anymore, unless you count this blog. I never kept one growing up because I knew my brother would just try and read it. The little bastard. But before I started this blog I kept my slave journal in notebooks and "regular" journals that you can buy at Barnes and Noble. This is a lot easier however.

10. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Surely you jest! Little ole me? Use sarcasm? I'm hurt! I'm offended! I'm.... Okay yes I do.

Start of a Three Day Weekend

Master got a call today asking Him to come in on Monday to pick up some paperwork so He could go to His drug test. So, He has the job! It's just the formality of going through the drug test on Monday.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I had woken up with a good feeling about today, and apparently that feeling was right. :-)

So that only boosted my confidence when I went to go speak to my business manager about the possibility of transferring to a different department. I had e-mailed her shortly after I got to work and asked if we could please meet at some point this morning.

She e-mailed me back about an hour later telling me what time it would be okay to stop by. (It amazes me on some level that this woman has any sanity left, she's always extremely busy. But she seems to thrive in it.)

So I headed to her office and we discussed it. She asked me which position I was interested in, and she told me about another one that was open that I may be a good fit for. She then asked me why I wanted to change departments. I simply told her that I can't see doing my job for the next 10 - 15 years and that there is no room for advancement withing my department since both trainers and the supervisor have been there quite a while and seem to be planning to retire, and there is no where up from my position.

So she said, "You're looking for some professional growth then?" To which I said yes.

She told me that she would talk to my supervisor to see how I am as an employee within his department and get back to me about whether or not she feels I would be a good fit for either of the two positions.

So here's hoping. :-) Let's also hope it's a good move. *laughs* I don't think I'll end up regretting this decision to be asked to move, but I might. You never know.

Once I got home from work Master and I ate dinner and then took Radar outside to be brushed. I started to crash then, because I had been pretty hyped/hyped all day. It had finally caught up with me. So Master allowed me to take an hour and a half nap.

However, when I woke up from said nap and started doing this post my stomach started to hurt. Apparently I am not feeling well at all, as I've had to pause from doing this post a good three times at this point.

So I'm going to end this post here and just and get my system to relax a bit.

Thoughts

Well, at work recently two people in my department have been talking about the possibility of switching departments within the company. I had never even thought of it before. I mean, my job isn't difficult by any stretch of the imagination. But it gets boring at times, and other times it's just down right frustrating because it's like I have nothing to talk about when I get home and Master asks me how my day went, unless it's drama that occurs with my coworkers.

One of the people in my department decided to not change, and just asked for more work since she's bored 85 % of the day. The other one? She's not to sure what she wants to do.

But it got some thoughts swimming around in my head. First I know people in other departments (one department in particular that I'm interested in) makes more money than I do. Maybe not a lot more, but every bit helps. Also I think it would be interested to change things up a bit.

So this evening I got home from work and after we were done running errands and eating dinner I talked to Master about the possibility of me asking our business manager to consider me for a different position within the company. He said if I thought it would be best, He is all for me going for it! So I'm going to talk to her tomorrow! Yay!

It's of course not a guarantee that I'll get the position I want, but it's worth a shot and it wouldn't put my current job in jeopardy. So really, there is no losing in this.

Also Master got a call from the place He had interviewed at last week. They said that they should have His background check results tomorrow morning, and if all is well they'll have Him go in for a drug test. Once that step is completed He would be starting next Thursday! Wonderful news!

Let's hope that everything starts falling into place.
