I couldn’t keep myself from answering back to my manager. It’s supposed to be a holiday for me today but I had to take this call with my manager.

It’s a long story but she was rude. She doesn’t know how to communicate. I got fed up fought back. We ended up the call with both of us highly strung.

I don’t know how long I would be able to last like this. It’s not as if I’m not trying to see what’s out there, applying for alternatives, but things are not panning out.

A friend told me tonight that I shouldn’t go head-to-head with a bitch with the same intensity. “Bring it down a notch lower, but you don’t have back down from your truth. Just don’t fight fire with fire,” my friend said.

“I know it’s really hard for you but just think of your kids. You can’t quit while you still don’t have another job,” she added.

I know, I know. That’s why I haven’t done anything of that sort yet.

It’s just a horrible way to start the week.

I just stayed at home today because of that scheduled check up call with my manager. I don’t want to be doom-scrolling on my phone either.

What did I do today? I assembled furniture. Again.

They have outgrown their Megabox plastic drawers and clothes that no longer fit there end up piling on top of the drawers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Now this section of my home looks neat and no longer induces headaches.
