I am much better now, I think it was just an overly stressful week last week. I'm just trying to look forward to going away soon and not having to deal with anything for a couple of weeks!

I actually have gotten compensated. About two weeks ago I got a raise. I was expecting one, because it was a new year, but it was a lot more than I expected! It's nice to feel appreciated, but I'm still not happy with being stuck on this type of project. Oh well, I'm still working my way up!

Hang in there, Lindsay!! Hopefully your supervisor on this project will get straightened out and work better with the two of you. Your trip to Africa will be here before you know it and you'll be able to take your mind off of work for awhile. Hugs!!

So far this week I've barely had any work from him so maybe that's why I'm feeling so much better than last week lol!

His supervisor got our little "journal" of our issues for the past month, and he told another manager that there were things in there he'd like to follow up on. That other manager told me that yesterday. So far I haven't been called into any meetings but I'm sure that will come.

The other girl I think is going to leave for sure. She's been shortlisted and the new job she wants is between herself and one other. She went for another meeting over dinner a few days ago and she's just waiting for a call now. I've encouraged her to tell her manager that this is going on and she's looking elsewhere, but she hasn't yet. I'm hoping he can convince her to stay! She is the only Landscape Tech in our office and it took forever to find someone. If she leaves, I know I will be stuck doing all of the landscape work instead of the work I want to do!

I'm glad you're not as stressed this week. Almost another week closer to Africa!!!!

I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you won't get stuck doing anymore landscape jobs, since you don't like them. It probably helps a little with a bigger than expected raise, Congratulations!
