Tuesday Morning Nerves and Escalations

 I realized I kind of blew up my boss's inbox today. You see our company is currently closed until the New Year but I'm covering escalations from the call center today and tomorrow (Wed).  I woke up with dread and didn't want to roll down the hallway to my home office.

(I have a home office! #blessed)

I think I just get nervous when I send her email and she doesn't respond or doesn't respond how I thought. I just want to know what she's thinking. I'm just so nervous about everything, and I don't know why!

I sent her a text today - a personal text just about food I was eating. One text got a response, and the other didn't. 

Ugh.

I'm nervous about contacting "friends" next year. Even today, I wanted someone to download my day with and I have to stop myself from reaching out to people I shouldn't.  How will I get through 2021.


Things I'm nervous about:

- Email about Walking Deck

- Email about rolling over vacation time

- The recognition award I gave to a co-worker

- Executing voicemail and providing training to the team on voicemail (yes, this is my life)

- Giving not the most updated information on our hours ( I gave what I had, but this highlights how we don't have the best communication on our team)

- My decision not to work on updating our documents over break

- The job a co-worker sent me

- The JIRA story I created

- What will it be like when her Favorite Employee comes back

- Just the maelstrom of things to come in the new year when everyone is back at work

- Is there something I've forgotten to do?

- The training we sent to the vendor


In other news, I got my last paycheck of the year today. Wow! In other news, an old associate from high school had her (rainbow) baby. Outside of COVID struggles, she just started a new job so will have to take any maternity leave as unpaid leave.  So she's gainfully employed and happy but just some inconvenient timing. Luckily, she said they can afford for her to take 6 weeks off. Hello, emergency/life fund or just good ole savings! 

I got $20 Amazon giftcard free for trying Personal Capital, and I was able to apply that to get her some diapers. That was kind of fun because I compared Walmart vs Target vs Amazon. The diapers were the same price at each, but I have the 5% Redcard to use at Target, however Target doesn't ship diapers. Walmart, I had 5% off if I use one of my credit cards - that was going to be a hassle, but I thought about it. And for the win - Amazon. They had a $3 coupon and I got 5% off ($2.50) for signing up for Subscribe-and-Save. And I could use the free $20 I got a few days ago.  I've wasted enough online gift cards - so I'm trying to use all the ones I have as quickly as I can. So my out-of-pocket cost was about $25 for a great, useful gift!

Other money plans, I signed up for the Uber Eats pass when I thought I would surprise my boss with a lunch delivery over break. I chickened out. But I also didn't want to leave the house over break and thought I  might get some Thai Takeout over the NYE weekend. I might still do that, and then I can cancel.

I don't really find a lot of use for Hulu, but I'm not ready to give up the $0.15/mon subscription just yet. Haha. 

Looking forward to a stable Q1 next year. I just hope nothing big and bad happens. Maybe something big and wonderful will happen. Woosa! What has got me so anxious and nervous! I can't quite figure it out!
