Another Year Older

Had another birthday yesterday - another overlooked birthday. I don't know why I get disappointed every year when Shawn does nothing for my birthday, but I do. The big thing yesterday was to go for ice cream - and I suggested it!

Did I mention that my manager, Doug, got fired a few weeks ago? Kind of out of the blue. ACI is still looking to lay off people to save a buck. And with the firing, my insecurities over job security returned. I could sign in tomorrow only to be told my job has been terminated or out sourced and to turn in my badge. Not good for my stress levels.

I just sent an email to the guys about planning a 40-Something reunion. I excluded Susanna from the conversation. If one of the guys wants to forward the email to her, that's their decision. It's not like I'm going to pay for her way (though I would gladly pay for the girls) and she wouldn't go even if she had the funds. Which, of course, she won't. Even if we sell the house and distribute the assets, she and Jackass will go through her inheritance faster than the check clears the bank. So I omitted her from the conversation. And I don't feel badly.

Fabulous news - I got my sabbatical approved by my new manager - I like her already! A whole 4 weeks off. AND Tom and I are going to Sandra's 'wedding' reception in Pasadena - about an hour away from Disneyland. And we land at 9 a.m. with no commitments till that evening. I think God wants me to go to Disneyland - don't you think? So I am on the hunt for discounted tickets. The trip is already costing me money I really don't have (I plan on working as much OT as I can get in September!)
