another 3 day weekend for me gone by so quickly...i had a root canal on friday, the process was kind of long and tiring even tho i was just sitting there....then i ran errands with my mom and had dinner with my parents at kabuki..yummy!!! friday nights are so crazy there but everything calmed down around 9pm.. so i guess we should just eat there late from now on...

on saturday i met up with kim at mattel to shop at their toy store...that place is soo cute! bought a few action figures for len and then went to watch a usc vs. wash state womens bball game with her troy camp kids....then drove back home missing the 405 north soo many times on my trip up sepulveda...finally i got on the freeway in culver city, only to exit one exit away cuz i wanted to get diddy reese cookies....yummy!! i was like 'wat the heck im in the area'...so the line went by fast, finding parking is wat took the longest over there but mmmm the cookies were worth it! len and i havent hung out there yet...i should take him there to shop or something....but i remember when he had those cookies before he loved em too! that night i got my parents dinner cuz they werent feeling well...then later i went to a party at janice's house in granada hills...i figured it might be the last gathering held before i leave my job...so i really wanted to go and of course take pics of everyone happy n drunk ehhee....it was fun!! lots of food, fun coworkers, and watching them dance all freaky with each other...itll be weird seeing them all serious at work this week =)

then today went to church and chilled at home....i finally decided to tackle cleaning my room...everything has just been adding up since christmas! it was really bad! it took forever sorting through all my paper work, transfering everything into this file caddy i bought....and i put stuff away and vacuumed and i think it looks a lot better....the other areas of my room hopefully ill get to lil by lil....esp before i start school! i was cleaning my room while watching 'just like heaven'...i love that movie! i couldnt wait for it to come out on dvd...i loved being reminded of san francisco and seeing how gorgeous that city is

so i guess this week i should give my resignation notice...i really dont want to give it yet, cuz i was upset that the managers all knew before i even gave my notice...so ive been lagging even more on giving my letter...i was going to give it last week i already started writing it, but some events happened at work that made me pissed off and i didnt want to give it any earlier than 2 weeks exactly...basically the whole reason they asked me if it was true that i was leaving, was to accomodate someone applying to my dept...they didnt want to hire anyone unless there was an opening....i figured a couple of people would have left already before me but obviosuly they havent yet so the pressure turned on me....'elaine, when are u going to give your notice'....its like 2 1/2 months away til i leave and i dont know the exact date yet, so therefore i cant write my letter yet.....so it being so much time left, i didnt think it was a big deal....so consistently every week, there would be an 'elaine did u give your notice yet? oh you know you should give your notice early, so they can hire someone alreadyblah blah..' i didnt think really much of it until my new supervisor called me and and asked me if it was true that i was leaving...she claims that all the managers know and its ok if i tell her....so i admitted it....i was fine talking to her but when i left i started feeling upset that some people actually went and told the managers....couldnt they leave that to me? i had to rush to go to lunch after, so i could talk to len....i didnt know why i was upset, but i felt that i needed to talk about it or else id start crying...so i felt better after i talked to him and then when i told my coworker the next day, i realized that i felt that i was getting pushed out of my position and i just got pissed even more!!!

so ever since then i see that this person is soooo buddy buddy with my supervisor and all the managers for that matter...AND she even started training in the dept! she hasnt even gotten an offer letter yet, and i havent even given my notice....! she still has her old position to work, and in her spare time the supervisor insists that this chick get trained on something, when she could be very well doing her work shes supposed to be doing and wat shes getting paid for~....and she was there at the meeting....and id always hear remarks like 'oh im not in....yet' and stuff and i dont know why it totally gets to me....i just feel like im getting pushed away so they can quickly move her in...my supervisor reassured me i wouldnt get treated any differently, watever im totally noticing its like i dont matter in the dept anymore cuz 'im leaving anyways'....theyre all excited for me to leave so the other girl can move in......and i want to get one more 'elaine did u give your notice yet?' so i can say 'no im staying' just to see wat shed say....=P im so bad!! ehheeh...wat sucks is that they make her seem to be like this golden child or something...cuz when the rest of us who moved into this dept from our old one didnt get any treatment like that watsoever!...we had to wait patiently and get our butts into those positions ourselves...this chick its like theyre bending backwards just to make sure she gets into OUR dept and not anywhere else....i dont get it....we are just as good as she is, and had to wait a longer than her....and i feel bad for the girl who just moved into our dept last week...she didnt get any of that treatment at all....and if she sees what that other chick is getting, it just sucks!......work politics...i dont know i guess its good that im leaving...i just wish that i didnt feel like they were trying to get rid of me.....at least its only those two......the rest of my friends at work....they say theyll miss me and i get so sad thinking of my last day....ill miss them soo much!
