'08 not so great

Do you ever get in one of those moods that is impossible to get out of? I rarely do but for some reason it has hit me. So far 2008 has not started off too well.

First, my apt lease is coming up for renewal and they want to raise my rent $120! It would be almost $900, without utilities, and I just can't justify that for a 1 bedroom, especially when I know what other people are paying. Problem is I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don't want to move. I like where I live. I live in a nice area of town, feel safe going for a walk or run on my own (if you ever watch the show COPS you know that Tacoma is not the best area). I like my apt, it doesn't feel so much like an apt. Moving is expensive and lots of work. Plus, I have tons of stuff and lots of really big furniture.

Secondly, the crap with the previously mentioned guy. Not sure why it's bothering me so much, I should be getting used to this by now since it seems to be the same story every time. :( I have never really been blown off though, think I would feel better if I just got a chance to talk to him. I keep trying to tell myself his loss not mine but so far isn't working too well. Worst part is is that I was really ok with being by myself when I met him, now I feel like it sucks.

Third, this girl at work...A couple weeks before x-mas a patient of mine complained about her yet again but this time threatened that if she was rude to him again he wouldn't come back. So I told my boss about it, no big deal cuz this pt is a bit of a complainer but I felt that my boss needed to know and I didn't want it to come back to bite me in the butt cuz if this pt never came back I would be the one to get in trouble. Well the next day I come to work to an extremely bitchy email, so bad in fact that I talked to my boss about it. Long story short this girl still won't talk to me or look at me. I walk in every day and say hi to her and am met with a glare and no reply back. It's just gone too far, she's at the front desk and there are things that we need to communicate about and things that have gone wrong because she won't talk to me. I've considered talking to my boss about it but I know how this girl is and know that it would only make matters worse. But it is making me hate going to work and I just don't know what to do.

Who knows maybe my foul mood and discontentness and loneliness is pms or something. lol. Anyhow, there's lots of other things making '08 not so great but this is enough of oh poor me. It does feel kinda good to get this all off my chest though.I just try to keep telling myself that things will only get better from here, cuz they will. And at least I have Hawaii to look forward to. :)

Moving does suck! I hear ya' there.

As far as the situation at work, I would tell your boss. If it's affecting your work, it's your boss's right to know. How unprofessional of the chic. She needs to grow up!

I know what you mean about rent! Kevin and I have moved every year to avoid the gigantic rent increase. When I was living on my own in a studio I decided to just pay the increase, but then Kevin moved to the city and we got a 2 bedroom. That solved the problem. I hate renting. I can't wait to know where I want to live for the rest of my life and buy a house, but I have nnnoooo clue.
