So much for a day off...

Today I was scheduled to take a personal day. It's payday. My plan was to play poker. Well, that wasn't going to happen. Bills came in higher than expected, getting 2 cars fixed, and gas prices jumped 30 cents in the last 2 weeks. So, that's cool. I'm going to play tomorrow night at the lodge, so I will take today to relax, nap and play X-Box. That's not what happened... My sales team on the ice cream account are getting more and more stupid as we go along. I swear they are now grasping at straws, like their jobs are in jeopardy. They promised something that was IMPOSSIBLE to deliver on. This means that today, instead of napping, playing video games and relaxing, I spent 9 hours working! The only break I took was to take the laundry to dry. I did interview for another role within my company (same office), but haven't heard anything. Not expecting to, other than that the position was offered to someone else. I don't really care at this point. We have a new team lead, and I think we are in trouble for the next 12 months. I have the same manager, but he seems to have a "cold attitude" toward me lately. Oh well, such is life. I am doing my job, I work my 8+ hours per day. I don't care if he likes me or not. What, so I won't get a promotion?? I don't have college! ANY promotion is a stretch. Dealing a poker tournament on the 25th for a charity. Wish I knew which one, but I know it's legit. I trust the guy that is going to run the tournament and I get $50 for it. Excited for this. Hell, first thing I've been excited for in awhile.
