It's Monday. Things on the team at work are tense, and the boss just arrived...and she's not in a good mood at this point. But she also is not a morning person so we'll give it some time. However, there is some really bad bitchy smack talk going around all the time in this place, in whispers in various cubicles, and over the IM. I refuse to participate in that kind of thing, but I also know that it has to do with a couple of co-workers who are ticked at the boss and even though the boss has a ham-fisted managerial style, these women with their whispering angry gossip are making it SO MUCH WORSE. I've been thinking about it over the weekend, and wrote extensively in my journal. One co-worker, especially, is actively recruiting and pushing for what seems like the destruction of our supervisor.
The boss may need some training in how to lead a team, but this person is SO manipulative and angry...she has also tried to pull me in and I won't go there. I made a decision not to engage with her unless it's about work matters.
Ugh. Hopefully the day goes well. I'm going to keep my earbud(s) in and do my freaking job.

Massage tonight! yay! I signed up for a monthly massage when I went in, after that assault. It's like a subscription, similar to paying your gym membership, only it's for one massage a month. And they only have 60 minute massages so I'll probably drop it after my six month contract is up...but I do want to have a regular massage. Desk sitting wreaks havoc on your shoulders. It would be perfect if I could have two 30 minute massages a month, instead of one 60 minute. Oh, well. It's gonna be good.
My eating has been good overall. Wylie made some of his famous German potato salad, which is SO delicious. I had a small serving, even though the dressing has oil in it. Next time he makes it, I may scoop out a bowlful before he puts the dressing on. It is just red wine vinegar, oil, and salt (?)...I bet I could get good flavor with just the vinegar and maybe some other thing to act like an emulsifier. Anyway, I made that one small serving a "treat" for my weekend. Other than that, full compliance.
Planning on making minestrone soon.
