Resolution ROCKS!!!!

"Plan B" (from outer space) as mentioned in last nights post is now officially filed away (hope I won't have to unfile it anytime soon). So since plan B isn't an issue, we'll move on.

The conversation with my boss this morning went so much better than expected! I got up early, went to my home store and in as serious of a voice as I could muster said to my boss "I'd like to catch up with you since we haven't spoken since I went to the training store. I'd also like to discuss a few other issues that have been on my mind". I guess my "I'm really trying to get a clear message through to you" attitude got her attention.

After my statement was laid out I thought I was going to spew right then and there. So, this is how it went....

Me: I made the above statement

Mrs F.: "You don't look so well"

Me: "I don't feel so well"

Mrs. F: "I've been calling the training store for two days now trying to check in on you but kept getting put on hold. I was starting to get worried."

Me: "I came in after work to speak with you yesterday but you were at a managers meeting so I decided to come in today before I was due over at the other store."

Mrs. F: "What's going on over there?"

Me: I basically told her everything that I've been bitching about on the blog

Mrs. F: "I was afraid of that. Screw that store, you're going to finish your training here."

AMEN! Issues #1- Resolved

Me: "After today I will have pulled 35 hours this week. I understand that I'm training but this is killing my school schedule."

Mrs. F: "35 hours!!! You need between 20 and 25 hours, not 35! That explains why you look so bad/stressed"

Me: "My thoughts exactly. I'm so glad you understand where I'm coming from"

Mrs. F: "You're in school Monday and Wednesday right? I want you off on those days doing homework. Understand?" (she gets all 'mom-like' on me)

Me: "Gottcha"

Mrs. F: "How's this sound, school days off and the other 5 days 5 hours a day. Say, 8am to 1pm or 9am to 2pm?"

Me: "Sounds like exactly what I need, thank you"

Mrs. F: "Now, if that's still too much and you're not getting enough study time I can cut you back to 20 hours instead of 25."

Me: "I think 25 will be fine. That extra 10 hours should make a big difference."

AMEN! Issue #2 Resolved

From there all of the other "little" issues fell into place and were resovled. D is still sleeping (yes, he's still on overnights) so when he gets up I think he'll be thrilled to hear about today's events. I've got a lot more to go into; mind you, this was just a general outline of one conversation. However, I've got homework to do, I'm starving and just wanted to get the top work issues tossed out there. "Me" issues are sure to come soon, just not right now.
