Ughh

OK, so a couple months back I was basically told that I couldn't train in any other areas of HR... Period. Needless to say I did not take it very well (I was really pissed, actually), especially since the whole promotion potential thing was a big selling factor when I took the job. But with the kabosh on any kind of career training, it kind of killed that dream. So now we're revisiting the subject since we're getting a new boss, and some of the nay-saying higher ups will be moving on to bigger and better things in a month. But apparently these certain people are still dead set on sabotaging my "career growth." (I hate saying "carreer" since I really don't plan on being in HR forever.)
Anyway, a couple months back, around the same time the kabosh came down actually, I was doing my job, and sent an email to some people reminding them of a certain deadline. I like to make things at least a little humorous, but apparently there are some uptight sh*theads out there that make a big deal out of everything. Most people thought it was funny and didn't think anything of it, but there were a few that thought it was "unprofessional and offensive." So now this email has come back to haunt me, apparently being a factor in the reasons for my professional oppression. WTF? I am so over this crap. I seriously need to get out of this town...

I'm getting a dog!!

So I've wanted a dog for a long time now, but never really thought I was ready for one. Well, whether I'm ready for one or not, I'm getting one. Meet Bandit. A beautiful, 2-year old Golden Retriever. I pick him up this weekend. :) I'm so excited too. We're already enrolled in obedience school and I'm attempting to doggie proof my house. I have a feeling I'm going to be in for a ride, but I'm totally up for the challenge. I'm going to whip him into shape, and I know he'll do the same for me.
