Reach a goal and the boss raises the next goal


Manager is determined we surpass our monthly goal that we got required Overtime this week and encouraged to come in Saturday. Then, came a warning of being held hostage on Tuesday until we reach our monthly goal. Well, today we ran out of work to do so I asked permission to be short 15 minutes on my required Overtime and was also told to forget Saturday work. And the piece of resistance, we will be helping another team get their numbers up next week cause we are so far ahead on our work. Such as life. Enjoying my day off at home. Been avoiding watching action movies that have a character dying since my ferret Faramir died. I'm still a little sensitive (Why did you have to go Faramir?). So been watching romantic comedies with happy endings (aka chick flicks). Cleaning up cat vomit and ferret poop around the apartment. Preparing Valentine cards for friends and family. Some people only send Christmas cards (if that) while I send Valentine, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cards. Used to make them myself but someone was insulted at childish cheap cards so started printing them off my computer. But, sadly their is a limited supply of pictures so started buying them. Printed paper cards are much cheaper than buying paper, stencils, printer ink, and less time consuming than cutting pieces of paper out. I like keeping in touch with people even if they rarely talk me. The door is open when they pause from their busy lives. Discovered my Mom has been driving around her retirement community friend because he had heart surgery and can't drive. He bought a new fancy car a few years ago and took my Mom for a spin. He sold it. My Mom driving kinda scares us children because she keeps having confusion spells and can't read street signs (she can read mapquest directions but has trouble reading a map). My sister has been driving her to places unfamiliar to her so she doesn't get lost. Sister is on disability so no job to keep from helping out. On long journeys on my day off I take Mom to her destination. She seems to be at peace with that. Dad took care of her so she is willing to let us children take care of her where she needs help. Well I think this long enough. Have a good weekend.
