Long week . . . . . . . extremely long day . . . . . . . . as I was driving home all I could think about was throwing a few things in the car and just driving! Chelan or the Ocean . . . . . . . anywhere but here.
Work was going fairly well until after lunch - came back to my desk to find a meeting request from my manager "To Go Over A Few Things" at 230 this afternoon. 1) Meeting Requests like that are never a good thing 2) An hour notice of said meeting is not a good sign 3) She was behind closed doors with her boss right before her meeting with me. 4) A previous boss of mine once said that the best time to fire someone or have a stern meeting is Friday afternoon - gives the person time to think/calm down over the weekend. . . . . and if they are really mad they can't talk to HR or an attorney until Monday! :-P
Meeting time - she was still behind closed doors. When she came out we went in to the office of someone who is on vacation. She came in with a the stacks of invoices I had given her to approve coding on and the checks I had cut today that needed signatures. Never a good sign when they come into the meeting with stacks of your work! Means you must have done something wrong and they wanted to have examples.
I won't go into specific details of the meeting - let's just say the tone was like being in the Principal's office. It ended with "I don't want this to be coming across as if you're in trouble" I would say a little late for that . . . . . When the meeting was over I was very glad that it was time for me to leave - had an appointment back in Issaquah. Hence - the reason why I had the overwhelming feeling to run away from home.
I think I may take a day trip somewhere tomorrow . . . . honestly thinking about heading to the Ocean for the day. It's about a 3 hour drive but if I leave early enough I can be there before noon - have a relaxing day watching the waves, looking for sand dollars, people watching, seeing what Chrissy thinks of the beach.

Anonymous - No problem, I probably took it the wrong way just because of the week I've had. I hope you enjoy reading my Blog from the beginning - definitely more drama early on in this endeavor.
Crawfords - Thank you for the suggestion! I am going to give it some serious thought and I may take you up on the offer to accompany you and your family to church one Sunday to just see what it's all about.
Readers - I wasn't being sarcastic when I asked for ideas on how to meet people. I really do need some ideas. Post whatever comes to mind, or things you mat have tried before that worked.
