First things first; bought my new hard drive yesterday.  I had to wait until pay day.  I know $100 doesn’t seem like much but when you’re on a budget, $100 can cause quite a shift.  We’re taking my computer over to hubby’s friends this weekend.  He’s a computer tech and said that he has all the capabilities there at home to retreive most of my data from the crashed drive.  So that’s good news.  I’m going crazy at home.  It’s been 11 days since the darn thing crashed and I’ll probably have to go another 3 or 4, depending on how long it takes for Dave’s friend to get it back to me once we take it over there this weekend.

All in all, a pretty normal week.  My boss announced to me today that he really needs more help.  I’m here 3 days a week and it’s not enough.  So he said he wants to hire someone to come in and help on the 2 days that I’m not here.  I managed to save face, but inside it was like hearing a guy tell you "I want to date other people".  Weird huh?  I have a system here, and my boss and I have a strong boss/employee relationship.  I don’t want someone else to come in and mess that up.  My boss assures me that there’s no way he’d find anyone as good as me.  Plus I’d have to share my cubicle with this person.  Someone else would sit here at my desk when I’m not here.  Who know’s what they’d get in to.  This is MY space.  I don’t want to share my space, my computer, my radio, and especially not my boss.  So now I’ve got to figure out a way to be able to come in at least one more day.  Dave’s mom already watches Gavin the 3 days I work.  She has a job of her own, though she works from home as a realtor, she still needs a couple business days free, so there’s no way I could ask her to take Gavin another day.  I’m hoping I can convince my mom.  She’s a tough one though; and I say that meaning that she’s all about having her time to herself these days.  Don’t get me wrong, she adores her grandchildren.  She’s the most loving and giving mom anyone could ask for.   She’s just been rather independent lately and enjoys her freedom.  I really hope she’ll agree to it.  Maybe I can offer her some sort of compensation for taking Gavin one day a week.  Gavin will probably start preschool for 3 yr olds this fall so that’ll create some freedom.

Have a great weekend!
