Yesterday was the company halloween day. It was pretty nice. My office mate Todd, went way overboard. Our office was creepy and very cool in many ways. As a result our office won best office and he won best dress. I am giving him all the prize money as I had nothing to do with it. I finally understand that this is Todd's holiday.
Outside of that I got my review. Received a 3% annual raise 18 months after my last one. Told I was at the ceiling of my pay group. Was wondering when we started getting pay groups. Need to get the balls up and ask my boss when we started pay groups. I ask this as I am wondering why my "job" is bracketed. He expressed a need to get my knowledge base out and utilized better. We will try to figure this out and what it means.
So a recap of yesterday. Again Parker has a great day, until the end. It ended up with him again saying he wanted to be dead. That he was not here. That he did not exist. These episodes are strange and appear at times of great stress for him. I worry about them, but they really send his mother over the edge. It really happens on rare overall occasions. I want to try and document these events when I can.
So yesterday there was a minor work crisis dealing with the uploaded file to ABN. After working with Cameron on the phone for 45 minutes then another 15 minutes with Todd conferenced into the call we figured out the file was correct and ABN was processing something wrong. We have no idea what that means, and will see in the morning if it works. Fingers crossed.
After finishing that panic problem, I went to Academy with the Kids and got a new cooler, the igloo I got for christmas last year was left or lost last tailgate. $50 later it is replaced. In addition I got 4 packs of gatorade mix, a washer game set, a bag toss, wingit toss, basketball and air soft pellets. The fact I asked Parker to pay for his pellets is what set off the entire incident of him being mad/angry. He is so easily angered when it involves what he precives as an injustice. This is where we need to work with him. He can be totally inflexible when the rules go against him.
Marietta is doing better, but did not confront Mr. Martinez about the 20 points. I guess I am having to take a few hours next week to deal with this situation. I am only asking for fairness and even grading. If he has an issue with my daughter or west austin then I want to deal with the problem now.
That is about all that happened with me yesterday. Boring day, but happy day. It is the little things in life that make it worth living and those moments are the hugs of my daughter when she is going to bed. My son laying against me when we are watching a show on television. These are the moments. These are the times that all the "quality" time spent are not planned events. It is the "quality" you get from quantity. The more time you spend with them the more you get from them. It really is true.
Well My life so far.
