Who Knows
So it's been a few days since I updated this but I guess I have been trying to order my thoughts. Dreams have been vivid again and life has been strange.
Every day for the last week I have had a splitting headache by 2-3pm, the only thing I can do to stop the pain behind my eyes is to close them so I guess it's lucky I work from home otherwise I might get some odd looks from my colleagues. My one to one was a bit of a misnoma (if you can have a bit of one rather than being one or not). I was offered a new patch which sounded great and they offered to send me to a senior managers meeting this friday. The patch was duff and would have made my situation far worse, although a word on the quiet with a colleague of mine has lead me to believe that it wasn't meant as a trick offer but more that the management don't know our jobs well enough. As for the managers event I have my suit ready and will be up at stupid O'clock to get to London on time.
Dreams- I had this dream a few nights ago that I can only vaguely remember now but it was a funeral for someone on Tom's side of the family, a burial rather than cremation as I remember the cemetary and it was raining then really sunny. There was a little girl with really dark long brown hair and she was with me the whole time.
Two dreams last night, both of which were slightly less subtle in meaning and symbolism. Both were set on our holiday to the dominican republic. In one, I went with my parents there, they were going after just one week and mum was really ill and grumpy (no change there). I was supposed to be spending the second week with my boyfriend but this girl turned up who thought I was dating her and for some reason even though I didn't know her I let her stay and my parents left even more angrily than they would have. My parents were saying and implying that the only reason I was with this girl was to annoy them and because I was medically imperfect and couldn't do anything even have a child. I was really hurt but then everything kind of fades.
In the second Tom and I were on our honeymoon, it was lovely at the resort but we decided we wanted to transfer to the other resort which was supposed to be the same standard over in mexico for the second week. When we got there though there were kids at the adults only resort and nothing was as nice as the DR one. I remember Tom was queuing for breakfast and I decided not to go with him and went out onto the beach. There was a woman there with a sign who said she could read dreams and people so I sat down and she told me things that I can't remember now about me but I the emotion I carried from that was sad.
This was all probably prompted by an email I sent to the hospital yesterday chasing them for a response to my complaint as the 25 working days has now elapsed.
I was in a litigious mood yesterday and ended up sending a formal complaint about a manager in glasgow. This guys team are all underperforming and as my team passed a bunch of accounts to them at the end of quarter 1 he has been trying to find deals which we should have given to his team to claim. He highlighted about 500K worth that he felt should be given to his team and taken off of mine. I managed to prove the 150K of mine needed to stay mine but not everyone else was as lucky. During my debate they implied that whilst the dates on the contracts were definitely for when I would have been responsible for the accounts that I might have asked the customer to backdate them to make that happen. This is fraudulent and a disciplinary offence. I openly told them to be careful about what they accused me of as slander wouldn't be tolerated but they didn't apologise and still requested additional proof for me to keep work I had done myself. So once I had proved it I decided to give them the same bad day as they had given us by raising the complaint which will require a formal apology and retraining on core behaviours and reduce their scores in the annual review. The moral of the story is that unless you have evidence don't make accusations.
Ok so I probably sound really mean but whilst I might not have actually been offended by the comment I was angry at their audacity in the whole thing and the way in which we were treated. Whilst I couldn't do anything about that directly I could certainly make it so they would avoid contacting our team in future and this was the quickest way.
Well more puppy classes tonight. It's raining again which isn't a surprise anymore and I am ill again. I haven't had a meal since sunday but on the upside I guess I am loosing weight.
