TGIWTF?!?

Four hours ago, I was all, "Yay, it's Friday". I'm off this weekend. I got a extra large paycheck today. I was making plans to redecorate my apartment. Everything was good. Then I get an e-mail from my regional manager saying she needs us to come over for a brief meeting. Still I'm not thinking much of it. Well, a little background info is necessary here before I go on. I manage an apartment complex and for the last 3 years I have worked for one company. This company recently sold the complex where I work so the last two weeks have consisted of transitioning to the new management company. There were three properties sold and collectively we have all felt very fortunate for how smooth the transition has been and how well everything is going. Cut to this: I go to the meeting and find out that the new owners apparently fired the company that I just started working for and I will now be working for yet a different management company. So all of the transitioning, new hire paperwork, interviewing for my own job, learning new computer systems and policies that I just finished will start over on Monday. This, along with some other technicalities that aren't worth mentioning here (at least not yet) have gotten me a little bent out of shape.

I am an optimist, as I have mentioned many times before, and I will remain optimistic. The new company is a good company and everything will probably be just fine. It is just frustrating. Once I start go get in the groove and relax, BAM. It's like not so fast, Karli. Anyway, I will be just fine. I just hate that everything has to be so complicated.

So I have now found myself feeling much less stable than I did this morning, which is something I was so happy to have. So I got this bonus on my check today so I was planning this mini extreme makeover of my apartment. But now that I'm not sure what's going on I am more hesitant to procede. It just makes me want to scream! Well, I just decided that the extreme makeover is still on. As long as I'm here, I need to be happy. So wish me luck. I have high hopes for this evening.

I'm going to go see the dog tomorrow so vote on a name!! I have a couple favorites...
