Fall In Line

Today at work was a weird day of transition I definitely wasn't expecting when I got there. Christine's last day was yesterday, and apparently today was Jenna's first day. The person they hired as the Ops and Staffing Supervisor. I want to like her, but she rubs me wrong. She's a transfer from another store, and as is always the case, they do things differently where she came from. Perhaps some of her behaviors assault what little ego I do have (I try to stifle ego as much as possible, but alas I am human). She treats me like a new hire who needs to be micro managed and told what to do. I don't like that, and I hope she assimilates sooner rather than later. As is always the case, transfers do eventually fall in line with the rest of us, but the learning curve until they do is aggravating. She's got a confidence about her that boarders on arrogance, and I really wasn't expecting to have to deal with a challenging personality today.

I just have to get through tomorrow, then two days off... I don't feel bad about counting down the days until my days off. It keeps me sane. Also, I found out this morning that the kids are coming home on Thursday! I've miss them. Coming home to an empty house every day is the worst. It's dark and quiet. Just the cats and dogs to greet me. Which is better than nothing, for sure. But I miss my babies. I'm ready for them to be back.

It's late. I have nothing pressing on my mind at the moment. I think I shall retire. As part of my effort at excellent self care, I try to always allow myself 8 hours to sleep. I'm about to cut into that if I don't fall asleep soon.
