Productive Day

So I got a lot done at my work today & I am feeling very good about that. I swear I am about 2 years behind doing 3 people's jobs & there is no way I will ever catch, but it feels good when I feel some sort of accomplishment.

I was kind of annoyed yesterday, one of my superiors made a male chauvinistic remark towards me TWICE. I was very offended and annoyed, but being the little peon that I am I did nothing. We were cleaning out a shed, and 2 guys were helping me. Well it was very hot here yesterday and after a while I sat down for a minute to rest. At that point my superior walked out and said, "You can tell a woman is running this show, she's sitting while the men are working." Mind you, one of the other 2 guys is sitting too, and the other is smoking. The guy sitting tries to stick up for me by saying, "I am taking a break too." At which time the superior replies, "That is b/c you are a democrat & you let everyone else do your work." I don't even care about politics but thought it was a stupid dig at the guy that was helping me out. Later on in the day about a half hour after we'd finished the 3+ hours outside working VERY hard, I was in my office inhaling the lunch I had bought, and the superior comes in and asks how everything went. I tell him I am tired but we are done, at which he replies w/ something similar to "why are you tired, you had been sitting." I couldn't believe how rude his comments were. He was probably trying to joke w/ me, but seriously, you are one of the top dogs at this place & you are going to make sexist comments at one of your hardest workers (civilian of the year, to be exact)!!! I was annoyed the rest of the day & I don't forget things easily so I have a feeling I will be annoyed for quite some time. Oh well, just sucks though.

Tonight I have to run & buy a whole bunch of gift cards to various places for my dad's cousins. They live in Parkersburg, IA where the F5 tornado hit 2 weekends ago & lost everything. My sisters & parents & I & Jerm's parents are sending $550 worth of gift cards to them. I hope it helps. I can't imagine going through something like that.

Anyways, I better get back to work, b/c I still have a lot to do before I can leave and it is already 5pm. Yikes.

Have a good night.
