today is “i’m tired and cranky and stressed about the next assignment and next week’s midterm and i have shit i needed to do before i left this morning but didn’t even think to do it because i was so tired i stayed in bed an extra forty minutes and i really, really, really want to be super evil to people but then i feel guilty which just makes me crankier” day.
oh, yeah. and i feel really fat, too.
so, we had a “work plan 2004” meeting yesterday afternoon. we all shuffled off to the training room and talked about all the current, ongoing and future projects we have on our plates. we talked about what the programmers are into, what the network guys are into and even what the data entry girls are going to be doing. no one asked me what i’m doing. my name didn’t even get put on the spreadsheet of tasks. i made a couple cracks about “hey! i have no work!” but it’s kind of disconcerting to not even be invited to talk about what i’ve got on my agenda. and it’s a lot, dammit.
i’ll go mention it to bossman later, but geez, what a way to flip-flop a day. the morning was all “great job on the site!” and “thanks for all the hard work” from managers and even el presidente. then, bam, totally shut out. i feel like tom cruise at the oscars.
“Tom Cruise at the Oscars” would mean you are a goofy-looking person who is overlooked for good reason. This situation is more like “Susan Lucci at the Emmy’s.” ;-)
yes! thank you. it was early, i hadn’t had caffeine.
Skye hit it right on. Sorry about your work day. I am having the, “my budget is severly underfunded so go f*** yourself when you ask for something next week but aren’t willing to pay the printer, the graphic artist on contract, and the vendor on time so get off my a** meeting” day.
Heather! Thank you for the cutie V-day card. I love it! Btw, what is it you do at your job?
