I'm feeling a little better today although I didn't sleep most of the night last night.  Well, at least I'm more calm today.  I've had a perpetual headache since I returned to work.  I'm taking handfuls of Aleve accompanied by an almost equal amount of Tums.

    I find that I'm immediately on edge when #1Boss opens his mouth.  It could be just to ask the time of day, but I stiffen and grit my teeth.  Just sitting here writing about him is causing my stomach to knot up.

    My goal is to quit before the end of August.  Dennis has another vacation and it would be so wonderful if we could go up to the cabin for a few days.  But you see, I only have 2 vacation days accumulated.  I had to use the rest when I had pneumonia in the winter and the Emerald City doesn't accrue any while an employee is out on sick leave.  Almost like a punishment for being sick.  We don't have the gift of 2 weeks vacation every January.  We must really earn it.  And if an employee calls out sick the day before or the day after a holiday, they won't be paid for the holiday.  Regardless if it's a legitimate illness.

    I really must leave that place.  Life is too short for this.
