what the actual fuck

I woke up from a good sleep, not wanting to come in to work. Still. Again. 

Andrea took off yesterday for "stomach issues" aka the hemroid she has because she doesn't eat right and her body is pissed.

I get Nola out of bed, light my candle, get my tunes going, aaaaaaand I get this text from the sister under me: 

Hey ____. I was wondering if you would be a bridesmaid in my wedding? Please

Aaaaaaand during the anniversary of the worst summer of my life, where she had a minor role, she's back a year later to ask me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Mind you, she was single when I left. Not that she couldn't find the love of her life in that time but I know she also couldn't smell my mother from a mile away and she was just getting started as my replacement.

So either she somehow found the love of her life or she's jumping into a committed relationship to get out of the house and away from my mother OR my mother convinced her to make this decision and also ask me to participate.

No. No I won't be participating.

Andrea is stuck in the same loop about her mom and Robert and while it's annoying, I now understand why I couldn't get help from her with Candice and I understand what must've been like when I was so unsure about trusting my judgement about her.

And she dumps all of this after she also asked me if payroll was ready.  

WITH WHAT TIME?!

So I said "no, I'm working on that next" And she wanted to know "so what are we looking like". It's looking like once I finish answering a question from the 1 of 4 inboxes I manage.

And then she asked if I would like her to do it and I said yes. 

What I would like is "hey, were you able to prep payroll yesterday" so I can say "no, I prepped for paying bills today on yesterday" and she can go ok "I'll go ahead and prep payroll so I can knock that out. Let me know if you need anything"

I really want to know what she does all day especially since I have yet to see notes on the check in I worked hard to put together and she has yet to make time for my performance review and she spent over 1 hour running numbers that should've taken 30 mins tops. And if she listened to me and done it the way I suggested, it would've saved her from taking the long way and making avoidable mistakes only to end up with the format and info she would've had if she just listened to me.

I feel like Andrea doesn't know how to lead this department or simply doesn't want to and it's getting frustrating. 

Because I go to get her to sign SL checks and she's telling me about Tatum's deductions vs STD and catch ups like I know what she's talking about. Then she asked me if I wanted this paper her notes were on. And I asked if it was for this Payroll and she said "no, it's for the next one" so I said "it can go in with the payroll stuff" and she asked where I wanted it to go and I said with the payroll notes for next payroll. 

And she keeps wanting to talk about the same thing because she doesn't know what to do or doesn't want to do it. 

And I can't help thinking that this must be how trapped Candice feels.

Also Andrea was asking about a timesheet yesterday and I told her it may be best to call Cass to go over that with her in case she doesn't understand why, or she's confusing her work hours as a contract worker with what are considered work hours as a marketer on payroll, or she may have been told something different. 

Her response: well, she should know that.

And I just had to settle myself in and give more explanation as to why it's important and we can't afford to assume she knows something AND if she does know and still isn't doing her timesheets, that doesn't help us.

And she begrudgingly said she guess that would be her who needs to call and I said nothing. 

And I bet she has not got with Ashley Barg regarding her personal effects either.
