I had something upsetting happen today. Mrs. P came to me to say that someone told her I'd been talking to the D about her taking so much time off. I didn't, but she refused to tell me who it was. MC isn't here for me to talk to.
I just want to know who is slandering me.

Update
Update: I have FMLA, but not for mom. It was too late by the time I got it approved due to the time it took to get a doctor to sign off on everything.
Everyone but the Charlots came to the funeral, which was nice. Looks like they all came together. They didn't go to Bear, but Rebecca Montgomery came to Bear but not the funeral in Dover.
After mom passed, I started having issues with my RA. But that's another blog.

And so, I am late getting in to work, and I called SG (Administrative Secretary) to let them know I was on my way and would be late, but when I got here, I discovered that TH refused to let SG tell B, even though B was at lunch when I called and she wouldn't have gotten the call.
Now I'm confused about how I'm supposed to let people know I'm going to be late. Before all this game playing, I was to let B know and if I couldn't get B, let Circ or Ref know. Now, I don't know what to do.
This is getting too complicated. Looks like I'm going to go ask for FMLA again. Maybe that will shut them up.

Today
Well, it's been a while. Haven't gotten around to post about issues, not that there haven't been issues. Now B is no longer in control here. We have a new person in charge. A little touchy to deal with at times.
Today, I'm pretty frustrated. Probably the most frustrated I've ever been in this place. Mom is in the rehab center and is not being very cooperative. They are discharging her on Wednesday, and I didn't know if I even had coverage from Mel for those days when I went to work. I asked for 3 vacation days and Dr. D had said no vacation during school in session - how is heck am I going to take care of her if I can't use my vacation time if I need it? I guess I need to sign up for FMLA just to be able to take the vacation time I actually earned.
I have a call in to the Attorney. Haven't heard back yet.

New year, new problems
Been a while since I posted. Main change is that S. retired. Even though she told others that she just got tired of dealing with the University and the State, the real reason was that she got tired of dealing with B. I asked S. if I could go with her. :) Her last day here was in November, but her real last day was 31 Dec. After she left, B took over. SW has been doing pretty much whatever she feels like, although she did quit as coach. RB seems to be content to just let things be and let B run most of the place.
B is hard to figure out. When a student worker made a mistake and opened an ILL package as well as other mail he shouldn't have, she said "It's ok." If I had done it, I'd be at the JJ's work right now looking for a job.
I gave her my comp time sheet and my invoice - haven't seen either back yet. She assured me that I'd get both back. Since evals haven't come up yet, I'll have to wait to ask to get them back - I don't want B or RB upset before they finish my evals. Now MR is doing my evals. I'm not sure I want that. No matter what, I don't think she can be fair - she is not happy that I'm married and she isn't. She's so down on M and seems delighted whenever she sees that he's done something that I don't like. She takes every opportunity to tell me that I married him, and maybe I should dump him.
I went down to tell B today that we received a journal she was waiting for. She couldn't just say good. She wanted to know why we have had so much loss of journals - things we paid for and didn't get. I can't force the publishers to send - all I can do is to document that the claims were made or why they weren't claimed.
She is looking for someone to blame it on - me or S. P and the girl that was in this position before me won't be, although they were the ones doing it before. P was checking in journals and was supposed to identify any journals I needed to claim - she didn't half the time. WWD, she told me to just let alone because they come out of sequence. Guess what? We don't have some of them because they never came - before or after claiming.
Honest to God, if I could take 10 of M's years, and do an early retirement, I would. If he could, he'd still have 25+ years left anyway. I wish we both could just leave this place.
To top that all off, the governor seems to think that all state workers earn too much. He's cutting budgets left and right, cut salaries - fortunately not ours, but he did JJ's - by 8+%. They are looking to trim things out of DSU's budget too. They did not replace Dean S., and they have not replaced Mrs. Q, or Mrs. J, or S yet. They may have to replace S, but I don't think they will replace Mrs. Q or Mrs. J. They did hire B's husband to do systems, but I have yet to figure out what he does - had an issue with my computer, talked to him... talked to RB who told me to email him. He forwarded my email all over the staff to tell them to address computer issues to ACO. Since we don't run our own server, what's left? I speak to him and he walks away. I started talking to him when I came in, and he walked off while I was speaking. I think that's rude. What do I have to do to have one word with him? Or aren't I supposed to? No one else seems to have that problem. I give up.
When I first came here, MR was like my best friend, RP didn't speak much, the only one who is like they were when I first came is RD. MR acts like a witch most of the time. RP has been out for surgery - this is the second time - but she's really nice with me. She gave me a Christmas present and I think I am the only one she did that to except the person whose name she picked. TD, of course, is gone. P speaks only if she thinks she can get something - except for her niece's baby stuff. The others are about the same except that SW speaks more, but then she about has to. S, when she left, was actually my friend - makes me feel like she escaped and left me to face the wolves alone. M doesn't care one way or another; I don't even think he's noticed much of it. There are 3 new people - M, B, and the new girl (I forget her name). She's doing cataloging. If it hadn't have been a grant position, I would have considered applying for it since it's daytime. M works with us and B took Mr. L's position after he retired. MR and RD are back on 2-10pm and M and I work 4-Midnight.
This whole last week was a wash. We were here a total of about 6 hours the whole week. The rest of the time, we were snowed in.

Well
I haven't had to post anything receintly - pretty much business as usual. M is doing her thing. S is on vacation, SW is doing camp now - taught her some goodies yesterday in Excel that she loved. BC came to ask me questions! Interesting that she would now think I have any answers when for so long she treated me like I didn't have 2 brain cells to rub together. M wants us to go on days thursday instead of Friday. Leave well enough alone. I have to to with Jen at 11 for an Ultrasound, and there is a staff meeting at 2. When I said something about some people may have made plans, M acted like a child. She said oh well everyone can work to 10 pm then. For God's sake, she'd come in at 12 and work to 8 - only Mario and I would be here until 10. It's not like it's the end of the world. Sheesh. Get a life M!
Did the State Fair for 2 days. The people coming in after me were both late. M says "don't do it next year". I think the main problem is that she didn't want to stay to 9 tuesday. Next year, I'm just going to take the days I want to work off and go do it. Idiots.
