Well, a couple months sure changes things.

I held my fire on the big letter and had a sit-down with my immediate supervisor. My main scheduling gripes are, for now at least, addressed. I'm at least getting regular relief 2 or 3 nights a week and he's not so cavalier about cancelling or moving my day off without making sure it's okay with me.

Payroll is a different issue. Still bad. No effort to fix it. So I edited the letter to remove the things that were addressed and today I sent it out. I get out tomorrow at noon and the owner should get it shortly after that. I plan to be out of contact for the rest of the day so he'll have to stew on the contents overnight. I set a deadline on having a payment schedule ready of August 9, which is coincidentally enough the last day of my upcoming vacation week. If it isn't ready, I won't be back.

Other changes - gone on the first couple dates since breaking it off with my ex; an arranged thing with a friend of a friend. So things are interesting, if mildly angsty. I still feel a little creepy because there is a substantial (to me, at least) age difference. A couple of friends have told me it doesn't matter, but it's still not easy to shake. Tomorrow we're doing a kind of double date at my house...grilling, pool party and movies. Probably bad movies since we're probably relying mostly on what I have to hand.

Tomorrow could be really really good or really really bad. And I have to admit, the anticipation is killing me a little bit.
