Just The Past Few Days And Today

today is a beautiful sunny day.  i am feeling great, and i am feeling stressed to the max about a paper i  have only just begun to do research on - which is due tomorrow, and should be 8-12 pages analyzing my current place of employment.  actually it will not be that difficult, i just need to get the words on paper. 

i miss scot terribly.  he texted yesterday stating he has a sinus infection that turned into a horrible migraine and then moved into his teeth.  when he called he was unable to talk because he was in so much pain.  i feel horrible about him and wish there was something i could do.  he said he is glad i am not there to see him this way, though i will be exposed to it at some point in time...

i know the next few months will pass quickly and i am glad.  i so want to have him close, able to hang out with him, do my homework with him around, just be together.  i am looking forward to it all, kind of  looking forward to the irritating parts too just because it is part of life together.  we seem to do so well with one another and i want to continue cultivating what we are.  i love him so dearly, amazing how taking things slowly can allow the love to grow.  he truly is my friend and i can see how he will quickly become the best male friend i could have.  that is satisflying to me.

i am doing well after my surgery, continuing to heal up.  there is a 1/4 inch hole at the top of my incision and i believe it is there to assist with drainage...?  the site is no longer quite so scary.  i am experiencing a bit of pain now, more than i had though would be there.  

on another note had an interesting conversation with my boss about taking the remainder of my vacation days.  i have approximately 54 hours, or 6 days, of vacation.  she is saying something to the tune that i have too much time.  here is the conversation:

1:36 PM a: What new sheet?

 me: the sheet hr just sent me with the correction on the 64 hours

 a: WOW.... I can't even believe that.

 me: i know!!

 a: Maybe it's the combo of sick and vacation time that has me baffled.

1:37 PM me: possibly there was a lot of sick time

 a: True dat

1:41 PM me: r u still locked in the basement....?

 a: No! Does it say that?

 me: yes lol

45 minutes

2:27 PM me: would it be possible to take the next three friday's off? that would eliminate several of those hours...

  just throwing out ideas here..;)if it helps i can give them to m... lol

 a: Understand. I need to stew on this if you don't mind...

2:28 PM me: totally no problem

 a: I know they're your hours, but it's got to make sense for everyone, you know/

  ?

 me: i understand, just don't want to let an entire week go

2:29 PM a: Yeah. I like how you're thinking, it just seems absurd to me that we're looking for ways to get your hours used...

  That means there's too many!!!!!

2:30 PM I don't disagree with your idea of the Fridays though...

  Will you check in with me on it Monday?

2:31 PM me: yep will do so. and i am seriously trying to get it down so that i don't have hours to "have to get rid of" lol

 a: Sure

so i am a little irritated at the idea that i am being punished for having so much time.  this university gives kicking packages, totally helps make the job easier to deal with.  i am not to blame for having so many hours, i would have taken more vacation if not given a hard time when trying to get permission.  as you can see from the conversation my boss thinks i have been given more than i should have.  over the past year she has questioned how much i have been given and if i am certain i have the correct allotment.  gets rather irritating.  i am thinking i may need to just ask for 2 consecutive 1/2 weeks off so i can spend the 54 hours, cuz i am not giving them up and will gladly bring it up with hr...  thanks.
