I am OFF!!!

Guess what?

I am officially on vacation.



I am OFF!

This is RARE!!

It feels GOOD!!

I turned in my request for leave back in early June sometime. I didn't want ANY issues with some of the more "vacationing" members of our group who basically get to take off any time they please getting in my way of being off. I wanted first dibs on Labor day vacation and I GOT it!!

So yesterday, I was supposed to work a 10 hour day, from about 6:00-4:30 (I get to work at around 5:30 in the morning). My interim boss told me I had too much time in, and I had to leave around 12:30 p.m. This was an issue, as I had to compress all I had to do into half a dayum day.

My regular boss, the Darth Sista, is back from maternity leave, and we were trying to make some corrections to some paperwork for our audit last week. She has that awful lost "deer in the headlight" look, since she's been gone for 3 months. I didn't feel sorry for her. Whatever. I did what I had to do, but uh, she got a pretty blunt email around 11 a.m.

"Look, here's the stuff you want, I got stuff to do in the lab because you know I'm gone for a good week and a half! I AM LEAVING AT 12:30. I wrote everything up, you figure out the formats, blah, blah BLAH."

I know she kicked the hard eye roll after reading that email!!

I wanted to yell "Welcome back to work, Darth Sista!" with the HEAVY foot stomp!

LOL!!

At 12:30 p.m., after cleaning my desk, I stood in the cubicle area I share with so many and yelled...

"Ya'll have a FINE FINE holiday. Have a good one. I'm outta here."

I got a few strange looks.

"Let me tell ya'll something," I continued. I got real loud. "Don't NOBODY call me about nothing. I hope ya'll work it out with the Mass specs [equipment I'm in charge of]. I made sure it was working, so don't nobody bother me!"

I pointed hard at my coworker Hen-Dog, who lives on my street, a few houses down.

"Look here, boy, do not knock on my door. The cats will be staring at you through the window, singing 'Lee said we can't open the door, Hen!' The only way you'll see me is if you squeeze down my chimney. That's IT!!"

Hen talked a little trash. I walked off, singing:

"I'm walking on sunshine... YOOOOO-WAAAAAAAY"

(Yes, I changed up them lyrics).

I stuck my head in several labs and yelled for them to have a FINE holiday.

I was even nice to the old creepy flirty janitor who thinks he still got some rap left. He likes to corner some of us in the halls and elevator and talk game. Dirty ol' man!!

"Where you going, girl? You going to class!?"
I usually work to dodge his rolling garbage can, but I marched straight at him, as he was in front of the elevator I wanted to catch. "NO! I am OFF!!"
"Well you have a good one."
"You too!!"

I almost yelled "You too, you Dirty Ol' Man, you!!"

(Humph. I must blog about my run-ins with that fool.)

I woke up at around 4 or 5 this morning. I got up and IMMEDIATELY started crocheting.

Kentucky came downstairs around 5:45 am. She leaves around 6 in the morning, and she was looking me with the hard side-eye.

"How you gonna be off, and be up so early, Lisa?" she asked as she dragged the ironing board out of the laundry room. "I'd still be in bed."

"I got crocheting to do. Plus I am too EXCITED to just lay in the bed. I am OFF!!"

Kentucky said nothing. Just ironed her clothes. No telling what that gal was thinking.

LOL!!!

I've been watching television and trying my hardest to finish this blanket. I took some breaks to do some housecleaning. Yacked on the phone with LadyTee and The Cowgirl Cre. Writing Class starts tonight so I have to get my notebook and a writing sample together to turn in.

But that's about it!!

Maybe I can catch up on some of my posts. I am terribly behind!

~sigh~.

But all I know... I am just glad to be OFF!!

Never fear, I will be posting...

Ya'll have a FINE holiday weekend!!

I know I will!!
