I'm on vacation, so I don't have a computer, I run into my office every once in a while, but I don't have enough time to check my Blurty, since I have to finish up fast and run home to feed my puppy! Now I always have a reason to hurry home, because I have someone waiting for me.
Yet, so much has happened during this vacation, that this time I just had to write about this. I'm sorry I haven't had time to check on your entries. I hope next week I'll have more time on my hands, I'm curious to find out what's happening with everybody.
Anyway, so I've been living my miserable life in this awful city, hating my job and dreaming of a puppy, and the only breath of fresh air (figuratively speaking, as it is never really fresh!) was when I took dance classes. But I'm smart and independent, and all this time the thing that kept me going was that I knew that I have the power to change everything - I can quit the job any time, I'm not even officially employed there; I can buy the puppy I want, I can make myself happy... Well, it all worked out strange...
So I got the puppy, I quit my job, I have my ticket to go home, I'm on paid vacation, and I'm taking as many dance classes as I want, I should be the happiest person in the world, huh? I don't know, I must be cursed or something... Nothing works out the way I thought it would. Not like I regret anything, of course.
The puppy is adorable, wonderful, I love it, but it won't let me sleep at night, it peed on my pillow and on my bedsheets, I have a hard time teaching it where she's supposed to do it. And I can't leave her alone for very long, because I need to feed her, and well, I just feel bad when I leave her for too long... It's funny, sometimes I wish she could talk on the phone, so I could give her a call and ask if she's doing OK there and tell her that I'll be coming home soon. :)
Actually the original plan was to be taking her with me wherever I go, but it appeared that until she gets all of her shots I can't do that, she has to stay home. And it's too much stress for a small puppy anyway.
Then the job... Oh my god, you can't imaging how much trouble they've given me, last week was hell, they made me cry several times. I thought that when I'm on vacation, I'm not supposed to be, um, working, you know. I mean, what if I'm in Africa and my cell phone doesn't work there and there is no e-mail... Why do they keep bothering me and giving me a very hard time when I say I can't come to the office. Well, honestly, I want to rest, I just don't want to think about this job, set reminders, call the partners, look through the papers, I'm so sick of it!!! And I've given them my two-week's notice. It was after they've driven me mad last monday, I sent Tatiana a message to say that after the vacation they'll need to look for another assistant. I've been called names, I've been threatened, I've been promissed that my evil deeds will come back to me and God will punish me for being such a daddy's girl who thinks she can do anything she wants, while other people get to be single parents and left with no choice... And after all that I get a text message saying that I'll need to work in September, and I was like: "What, are you going to force me? I thought there's no slavery in this country!" Well, honestly, I can't do this anymore, this was my worst job experience ever.
Then it got resolved. I broke down and I started sending them crazy messages that I was fed and they were crazy and I was about to lose it too, etc... At first I regretted it, I thought that I should have controlled myself better instead of sending stupid emotional stuff to my boss and Tatiana... Guess what, though? It actually helped! Suddenly, they tried to calm me down, they understood how emotional I felt about this and I get a message: You were a great employee and we are sorry to lose you, but we admire your courage to go and do what you want to do. Wishing you good luck in your new life!
So it all ended well.
And then I find out that Dima cheated on me... from my sister who is on the island right now. She went out and met this one girl, N. In the conversation it appears that they both know Dima. And my sis goes: "He's dating my sister." And the girl goes: "That's impossible, because he's dating me!" Imagine that!
To be continued, I need to run home now...

Your puppy is so adorable, the peeing thing is awful but it gets better if you keep working with it. Mine does still wake me up though. lol We put up with a lot for cuteness and snuggableness. :)
I'm glad you got everything handled with your job and are doing what you want and need to do for yourself.
And Dima...ugh...sorry to hear that...hope to hear more from you soon.
