It’s Friday morning, and I’m struggling with whether I should just take another day off or face the JOB. As it happened my husband and I got up early (early enough for me to take a shower and enjoy a few minutes back under the covers before getting ready for work)
7:05 am and I’m at my exit but I go on to the next to get my daily large Ice Tea (Thank God for QuikTrips….it’s my Starbucks!) and now chocolate bar (could be a donut or anything sweet….it’s a pick me up to face LEO!)
As I get into my office, I put all my “stuff” on my desk and head into Leo’s office (he likes to have my first attention since he’s here at 6:30am and ready for me when I get in…the question is am I ready to be with him….I NOT A MORNING PERSON! So I take a big breath and head in with my notepad.
COMMUNICATIONS! Is how he starts out again! Because I missed yesterday, he didn’t know what I had done late on Wednesday for a meeting he was to have on Thursday. My director had given me this assignment which Leo knew but he didn’t know if I had completed it…(I finished it at 4:30 Wednesday and gave it to the director….Leo was already gone for the day! How was I supposed to tell him or he didn’t trust that I completed something like that for the director….) Anyways, after being confronted in this manner, just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand and I was on the defense with my answers (sarcastic more then I should)! The tears where there but I was able to push through to find out my next assignment he wanted me to work on…since schools out…I’m 100% his…
Like a said, Leo comes in early and leaves campus around 8:30ish….So I was busy getting people to sign a card and then get them together….as I was getting them together (including the director) he was packing up to leave…he was oblivious to what’s around him….as he walks out his office we all started to sing…I think he was in shock that we even knew it was his birthday on Saturday but the fact that I had been planning this for a couple of days (also got a gift certificate to a guitar place)…best part…the cake was good!!!
After he left I also did frame some photos of black & white pictures of a guitar. (His office is bare…he hardly in it…and he like guitars) When he got back around 3 he actually notice but really didn’t say a whole lot. I sent the rest of the cake home with him (one, because I wanted to let him know that I did this and it was real! and two the fact that he said no one on our campus cares to know him – it would help if he participated but that’s another blog!)
