Good and bad and good and bad

Good:
Just had three pairs of pants taken in about 2 inches. It had gotten ridiculous that my pants were all but falling off with the weight I've lost. There are worse problems I suppose.

Bad:
I don't have any clothes that really fit for our upcoming vacation this week.

Good:
I had an interview last week that would get me out of the hell I call a job.

Bad:
I haven't heard from them a week later, and yes, I sent them a thank you note the day after the interview. I've never not gotten a job I applied to and I'm beginning to get worried.

Good:
I've developed some 'friendships' at work based primarily on happy hour.

Bad:
I seem to have developed my arch-nemesis at work which is getting more and more out of hand. I've heard boss has said that I'm beating up on this person. I finally found the nerve to go talk to my boss about it. He alleges he 'considers the source' and thinks I'm a great performer. This isn't the first time he's lied to my face. Oh, and she told on me and my 'happy hour' crew to my boss who then took it out on someone in the office that didn't even go to happy hour with us.

Good:
I got a conference proposal submitted this week. I included boss and boss' boss on the authorship to build some political points.

Bad:
In the course of one conversation boss told me if it wasn't a blind review he'd be embarrassed to have it submitted with our name and affiliation on it and would in fact not allow me to submit it and this was the first time he'd ever seem me fall down on the job BUT that it was a really good paper, very well written for it being written in only two days (by myself). I've easily had 10 papers submitted at this conference over the years - boss? Maybe one? 

Good:
There's a couple of job openings I can apply to this weekend (though it will likely take months to hear back)

Bad:
Got confirmation last night my current boss didn't want to hire me last year. I'd come to this hypothesis based on a couple factors. The largest one is that he chose a crappy candidate over the amazing candidate because he was worried the better one would leave. The crappy one is who I competed against last year. When we got the opportunity to hire another person, he actually strongly resisted calling the amazing one. I will forever wonder if a job I didn't hear back about was actually because I was too good for the job (and I don't mean in the unqualified kind of way).
