The election results……

The election results for the committee at work are in! Supposedly I have 10 votes the friend of the witch got 12 and the other person got 6. I am not being petty, but I have talked to the other committee member, because I want to my right to examine the ballots and check sheet, people ony had to check next to their names not sign like I suggested, (makes it easy for ballot stuffing), the witch was allowed to take the ballot box with her until I put up a stink then it was kept at base, I am not accusing her, but making it a point that this was an unfair way of doing things. They redid the votes because she bitched that I was getting proxy votes, and actually I was getting absentee votes, she didn’t know what she was talking about and neither did the boss. I have done some research and sent in the info I found on elections including the definitions of proxy votes and absentee vote. I also sent in information on ballot stuffing and political sabatoge, and vote tampering. I bet she is pissed now. I wouldn’t care if I lost fair and square, but with the way it was done, how do I know. My hubby is a little upset with me and asked me what did I think I was going to get out of this and was it that important to me, and I said YES! It is important to me she accused me of being dishonest because I was getting proxy votes, and they were absentee votes, she spread rumors about me, and kept that ballot box with her when there was a conflict of interest with her friend running she should not have even been near the ballot box let alone keeping it with her and preventing votes.

I have been off track and struggling to get back on and hopefully still reach my goal of losing 100 lbs. by Christmas.

Well I better go get something done before getting back to work. I will get back on her later when I get home from work for the night.

Hope you are all doing great!

Busy Busy Busy……

Thanksgiving was great. Black Friday was crazy! I did accomplish quite a bit of my shopping. My oldest and his family moving today!Then tonight is my hubby’s class reunion. I still have the loaner laptop and I hate it. I can’t wait, Monday now before I get the new one.

I hope you all had a super Thanksgiving!

Glad my work week is over……..

Yesterday, I decided enough was enough with the shit at work. I went in to base and told the boss I needed to talk. He said okay and about an hour later we still had not talked and he was in the garage. A co-worker and friend told me that she heard the boss say he was hiding out in the garage because he was avoiding me. So I went and stood out in the garage and just stood there and stood there and he knew I knew he was avoiding me. Finally he decided to talk to me. I even shocked myself and did not get all emotional like I usually do, I just told him what I thought of all the bullshit. What was what and why I felt the way I did about the witch and about being called dishonest. I told him I had found a site for online voting and thought we should do this, but he shot that down. The revoting had already started. Yup and guess who is in charge. He admitted to me that she blamed all the turmoil on the committe member and I. Of course, I told him she was a liar, and I was sick of shit and that I was not going to be walked on any more. He told me that maybe I should confront her if I felt that way, I told him believe me I will. Well as she was leaving with the ballots, she came up to me to give me a ballot and I took it and then asked don’t I need to sign and she gave me a sheet with every ones name on it and all you have to do is make a check next to your name, hmmmmmmmm how easy is that to check some ones name that didn’t vote and cast some extra ballots…..hmmmmm! Then I told her, how was anyone including my driver going to vote if she had that ballot box with her all the time and she said she would leave it. Then I said to her do you have a f………ing problem with me? She goes no, I don’t have a problem with you! I go I think you have a f…………ing problem with me! She went running inside crying for the boss! Whaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaaaaa! I wonder how she liked the shoe on the other foot! He didn’t have a word to say to me about it, and at this point I don’t care! I know the whole vote is going to be bull shit anyways! I am on break until Monday!!! Yea! I need it!

Well my computer crashed. I am getting a new one on Friday, so I have a loaner lap top. I can’t wait. I am not use to the keyboard on a laptop and I can’t type as fast as I usually do and it is driving me nuts.

Forgot my battery for my scales so I still have not weighed in but that is probably for the best because I did have a couple bad moments.

I think I am going to head off to bed, I have tons to get done tomorrow.

Have a good one!

My grandkids are my lifes treasures…..

Hubby has today off! Woo Hoo, I am so excited! He works so much that sometimes I get so bummed out. We are going to go do a little Christmas shopping. I have some wonderful ideas for the 3 grandkids that we get to see all the time. I was having a harder time with our grandaughter that we don’t see very often. I talked with our grandaughters mom last night and she gave me some ideas and sizes. She also asked if we would like to take her Christmas Eve! I said of course, but then she was saying how we have to come see her more often inbetween so she can get to know us better. I realize she doesn’t know us as well as she should, but this is not totaly our fault. It is a long story, but we never saw her until she was almost 2. My son and her mother had broken up long before she was born. The girl was not exactly the most honest person in the world. I had my doubts that the baby was his. My son has a lot of issues and has been in and out of trouble from the time he was 16 years old (he will be 24 in April). This is another issue I deal with on a daily basis. I love him with all the love a mother can give, but I don’t love the stupid things he has done. Anyways the first time we saw our grandaughter she was almost 2 and her mother just called us out of the blue. We went and saw her. I was awestruck that first time. I took one look at her and knew she was my sons child. She looked just like him. She lives over an hour away, she has never given us her phone number, we went to her home once and not even sure where it is. We go see her at her other grandmothers when we get to see her. They have moved 3 times in the past year and a half and different phone numbers everytime we turn around. I told my g/d mother I will call her mother today to set something up for this coming weekend. I hope to spend sometime with her every weekend between now and Christmas with the hopes we can take her for awhile on Christmas Eve.

I have had a lot of fun this weekend with my oldest g/d. Starting with Friday night. I took her to have her hair done. I had wanted to do it before to have it evened out, but I had to do it this time. The night before during the night she had gotten a hold of the scissors and cut it herself. She has such beautiful hair, and it looked horrible and my d/l  sister was going to fix it and she took one look at it and said she didn’t want to touch it. I took her to my hair dresser and they fixed it. It is actually really cute, but short and the bangs are kind of short right now, but that shouldn’t take to long too grow some. I told my son and d/l you better find a new place for those scissors because  this is not the first time.

I didn’t do a weigh in this week, I have to buy a new battery for my scales. Hopefully I will remember to do this today.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

She will not beat me down!

Still venting! Do you know what pisses me the most! She is not getting reprimanded for a dang thing! The other morning she ripped into my husband (her supervisor) demanding him to put up a sign about no absentee votes! She yapped on the bus radio about calling the boss! She ripped into my friend Ruthie(also her supervisor) at least twice! She is carrying the ballot box with her every where she goes! Co-workers can’t vote unless she is there! Well that leaves out my driver, because she is not there at the same time as he is!  She violated my husbands integrity as well as my own! There are many co-workers that want her off the committee and were willing to talk to the boss yesterday and he made himself unavailable to his employees! Other co-workers will be demanding a recount or preferabley a totaly new election if I lose! The thing is she is already on the committee she just doesn’t want me back on it! What she wants is another co-worker that is almost her twin! I found a site that is free voting ballots on line and I sent the information to Ruthie to check out! I don’t know how the witch could say that was dishonest, but ya’ never know!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww! I feel better already!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Mine won’t be to bad! I have my 4 year old grandaughter here to keep me busy!

Venting is my outlet……

If I keep it in it just feels like I will explode! I had a long talk on my messenger last night with my friend Ruthie from work. She is also a driver/supervisor like my hubby. She was  a great help to me. She really helped me to put a lot of things in perspective. She told me that my hubby really has tried talking to the boss about some of this crap and it has done no good, because the boss either does not see it, or actually does not want to see it. Anne Marie I think you hit the nail on the head, we also think the same thing either something is going on between her and the boss or she has something on him. Hopefully he will be forced to do something today when all of the problems she is causing is brought to his attention. Last night Ruthie and the boss counted the votes, and there were 11 votes with 9 of them being for me and he said that the didn’t think there should be that many votes in there and she showed him the sheet where people had signed to vote and he had to shut his mouth then, because the facts were staring him in the face. I don’t know what today will bring and I don’t know how I am going to handle being on the committee with her if I am the winner, maybe she will resign because of it and maybe she will stay because of it. I don’t know, I just know her crap is not going to rule me anymore. I am going to stand strong and be me and do what I think is right. I will defend myself and others that don’t feel they can defend themselves in that place. There is a difference of being a woman that has a lot of male friends and a woman that only wants male friends and feels every woman there is a threat to her. My hubby is good friends also with my friend Ruthie he tells me she is like the sister he has never had. She has a great relationship with her S/O. The way that crap is in that place they look out for each other. When she is not on the road and he needs to get away from his desk and wants to go outside and call me or get a cigarette, he gives her a signal, and he does the same for her.

Blogging is my release. I need to get it out. I am one of the biggest emotional eaters you ever want to meet! I have come to far to it happen. I won’t let it happen.

I have today off so I will be on and off here today!

Have a good one!

Just got to vent III

GRRRRRRRRR!! This gets better all the time. The witch who was making a big stink about me being dishonest, has pulled a really good one! When my driver picked me up this afternoon for my run he asked me where they were keeping the ballot box, because he did not see it and he was going to vote! I said it should be right in the front office. I called and asked my hubby where the ballot box was he kind of hesitated and I said where is it? He couldn’t really talk because there was people in his office so he just said guess?? I was like your kidding right he goes no! I am flipping, I am hot now! She is calling me dishonest and yet she takes the ballot box with her on her run!! Hmmmmmmm I think something is wrong with this picture! The boss doesn’t think so though!! Well I am not going into base tomorrow, hubby has asked me to stay home! He said a lot of other co-workers were talking today and they think she needs to be removed from the committee! She has been going around spreading rumors about everyone that works there, telling people that this one and that one are having affairs and a bunch of other bullshit! She is lucky I did not hear the one about my hubbies affair!! He is suppose to be having an affair with one of my friends!! Well anyways a bunch of people at work are taking all this bullshit to the boss tomorrow and hubby thinks it is best if I just stay home and out of it so that I can’t be blamed! Here I thought that one of my friends and I were the only ones this witch was attacking and it is just about everyone that works there. She pretends to be one persons friend and then goes to someone else and tells them stories about that person and on and on she goes!

Tonight is spaggetti, but mine is spaggetti squash! Mmmmmmmmmmmm good stuff!

I am determined to lose that 100 lbs. by Christmas!

Have a good one!

Just got to vent II

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Well the witch got her way! They are pulling my absentee votes and making everyone come in and vote! I don’t know what the witch has over on the boss, but it makes it sound like I was doing something dishonest! I am going to go into have lunch with my hubby tomorrow and I am going to confront her on this issue! I am sick of being treated like dirt!

Matt, I am a bus monitor for a private company. I am a bus monitor for 5 special needs pre-school children! I love my job it is co-workers like this I can do without!

I will not give up my journey for better health and losing weight! I have come a long way and I am determined to go the full distance!

Have a good one!

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Hugs

Just got to vent!

I am fed up with that place I work at! The election is underway and I am leading the polls! The witch is pissed because she does not want me back on the committee! She is making a big stink that I have absentee votes! People who don’t always come in to base have called in their votes, and she is saying this should not be done! Well in a real election absentee votes are allowed, so I don’t see the big deal! Some of these people never come into base, and should not have to come in, just to vote! I tried to call the boss and of course he is unavailable to me at this moment! I should have just gone in, but I would probably have just ripped her head off! Who is being the jealousy petty bitch she accused me of being! She is making it sound like I am being dishonest! I am probably the most honest person they have working there! I am the one that has had things stolen from them. Lies told about them, last year I got in trouble for smoking on the bus, I am a smoker, but I do not smoke on the bus! Yet, I know other people do! My driver is taking some time off soon and the driver they planned on giving me is one I know smokes on the busses, so I have told them if he lights up I will tell him my bus is smoke free, and now they are thinking of giving me another driver! I guess I will be a bad person forever if I am bad just because I speak my mind! I used to be the shy quiet person that never spoke up and I got along well with everyone! Then a few years ago, I went to college, met some new people, learned to speak up for things and now I get shit on! Some days, I wish I was still the shy quiet person I use to be! I get myself in trouble sometimes when I can’t keep my mouth shut! I am calling the boss back in an hour if I don’t hear from him!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Sorry about all of the venting I have been doing lately, but I just have to get it off my chest! I am trying not to vent about work with hubby! I know it is a sticky situation since he works there too and he is the supervisor of these people!

I am sticking to plan, but believe me it is hard! I am not letting this crap ruin what I have accomplished!

Hope everyone is having a great week! I have tomorrow off another 3 day weekend! Next week I only work Monday and Tuesday because of Thanksgiving! Woo Hoo!

Have a good one!

I am going to be a winner……

I am not letting anyone get me down enough to mess up the good thing I have going!

Yesterday afternoon, I went in to base instead of going home. I wanted to meet hubby after work to go do a little Christmas shopping! Hubby was on the road and my friend Ruthie was on the desk. Ruthie and I were having a nice chat when the witch got back. Ruthie tried talking to her (very nicely and calmly) about the Christmas Pary and the why it was costing so much for the guests. She explained to her that most of the employees cannot afford to pay that much to bring a guest. The witch started flipping out and hollering about she was tired of everyone complaining when she was stuck doing this all on her own…..hmmmmmm it was because of her that I resigned! I just sat there and watched it all I never opened my mouth! She ran right out to the garage where the boss was! Don’t know what was said, and don’t care as long as she doesn’t blame me for anything, and I have Ruthies back because she did not say anything wrong! I know the witch is not happy that I am back on the ballot, and she knows I have a lot of friends and I have been talking with people and explaining what happened and I have people voting that don’t normally vote. I know she is nervous about me getting back on the committee! She will not be able to tamper with the votes, and if she finds a way I will know something is fishy if they try to say I have like 3 votes! I pretty much know who is voting for me!

I am determined to be a winner in my weight loss journey! I will lose 100 lbs. by Christmas and then I will have 60 more lbs. to reach my main goal!

Have an awesome day!
