Rant

I'm beyond annoyed.

My boss emailed me on Monday while I was at Canada's Wonderland with you and Kendall and she made it sound like there was an emergency. I hate when she does that. She always makes me worried that something happened to our magazine and that I no longer have a job. Well, it turns out that it wasn't an emergency. She just wanted me to work on a new logo for the magazine. Apparently her bosses want the magazine to be redesigned for the September issue. There's nothing wrong with that, but she wants me to work on it NOW… Now, while I'm still on mat leave… and she's not paying me…

Does she not realize I have 2 kids at home with me 2 days a week and I have no child care help???

At least pay me then. She is crazy. It's because she doesn't have kids. She doesn't seem to understand that kids are a big responsibility. I don't just sit at home with tons of time on my hands. Kendall is a handful now. She always wants me to play with her and she's moving around a lot. She doesn't like being in her playpen anymore. 

They even sent me a laptop yesterday (BTW, I had to sit at home waiting for the laptop to come the whole day) so that I can start working. This is just insane. It's totally illegal and she can get in a lot of trouble from HR by doing this. Her reasoning is that she wants me to get a head start on it because when I return to work in August I will be in the thick of things. Ugh. I am so not looking forward to going back to work…
