Work sucks.

I got my performance review from my boss. I had talked to him before I left for maternity leave, and apparently he retained nothing from that discussion. His comments were full of questions that I had already answered when we talked one-on-one. If he hadn't waited 6 weeks to write his comments he might have actually remembered what I had told him. Worst of all, he rated me down in the category of "adapting to change." I am so upset about that that it's made it hard to sleep. I mean, in the past year, I've had a new manager, new coworkers, new responsibilities, and even operated with NO manager for a while, and successfully completed everything I worked on - while pregnant!! And, since the fiscal year didn't end until Oct 31, I accomplished everything a month ahead of time. The most frustrating part is that it's keeping me up at night, and I just have to CHILL OUT. I mean, Emily slept 6.5 hours last night without waking me, and I slept less than 6 of that because I couldn't settle down. I am most angry that I let this idiot get to me - which is a Catch-22, of course, so I just go around in circles.

So I'm trying to do what I can to get comments changed and corrected, and to do so I have to go in to work. Fortunately, Trav's brother Pat is willing to watch her while I go in to work. He was going to drive from Fort Dodge just to spend an afternoon with her anyway, so this works out well. Still, it sucks that I have to make special arrangements to get my boss straightened out when he should've had this all done before I went on maternity leave.

I'm not so excited about going back to work...
