We had our first spring thunderstorm complete with hail and a tornado warning Wednesday night. More rain is expected on Saturday and possibly snow on Sunday.
The garden has burst into bloom. The daphne shrubs, lilacs, tulips, daffodils, bleeding heart, apple trees, and iris are all blooming. The brooms will be blooming in a few days. I cut a ton of lilacs off the neighbor’s bush that hangs over the fence. I had enough lilac cuttings for two vases and was able to give a big bunch to Sheila. The bedroom and family room are now perfumed with the scent of lilacs.
Work continues to be trying. One of the young developers has been complaining to everyone that he is underpaid. He asked for a 20k raise. He’s also pissed off the queen bee of the office which is causing me grief. Queen bee will not talk to him. She refused to get on a conference call concerning an engineering issue because he was on the call. They both need to grow up and start acting like professionals. I’m so happy it’s Friday.
I recently read something about the new generation not being afraid to ask for what they think they deserve, pay wise. I’ve witnessed this with my SIL and several other 20-30 year olds. People are so entitled now, it’s sickening. No one wants to work their way up.
