February 3, 2001
Hello all!
Can you tell how impatient I am. I still don't relaly believe that I O'd on day 14!! I can't believe that AF could arrive on Wednesday, when she really shouldn't arrive for 10 days after that. According to Fertility Friend, I have now gone triphasic, of course they caution that this doesn't relaly mean anything. I don't feel any different. We'll see, I guess.
I had the WORST day at work on Thursday. Now, I'm not sure if I mentioned it on this diary -- but I just got a great new job and I resigned my current position. I'll still be doing PR/Communications, but at a corporation rather than an agency. Well, my new job is at the same place as dh works. He's in finance though, and it's a big company so basically we'll just be commuting together.
When I told my boss, she cried a bit and said she'd miss me and basically got over it. Well, when she told her boss -- he decided to be the jerk of the century. He came into my office and told me I was making a huge mistake and that I was ruining dh's chance at a good career by going there. He said if I get PG and leave within a year (I wish!), they'll be so mad that they'll take it out on Doug and he won't get any more promotions. He preyed on something that he knew would upset me -- a) getting pg and b) the fact that I love my husband.
Well, by Friday I was so mad I decided to tell my boss about this. She freked at his abusive behavior. She went to the owner of the agency, and he came down and personally apologized for this guy's behavior. In the meantime Im slammed with work (I'm writing this from work on Saturday), and even though I've quit, I'm still pulling 16 hour days so the work gets done before I leave. Part of me wonders why I'm helping out this guy right now. But the responsible part says that my work would fall on my friends, and not him, if I walked out and I don't want to do that to them. Only 10 more days -- is all I can say.
Well, dh is on his way here to take me out to dinner. It's nowhere near as much fun going out for dinner now that I'm on Weight Watchers. But it'll be worth it after the 12 pounds are gone! I lost 2.6 in week one -- 9.4 to go!
Positive thoughts to all!
Jenn
