Sorry you're having a suck day.
Metoo. Sarcastic talk-down lady isn't being any ruder
or more condescending to our clients than she usually
is, but for some reason today it's just really pissing
me off.
I can't wait for the weekend. I have to really
seriously clean house for my cousin's visit next
weekend, but that'll be good.
I'm sorry you're hating your work today...having cool
coworkers is really only half the equation.
But I can't really think of anything that pays as well
as what you do and is more fun. I imagine the key will
not only be in what you know but who you know...
I had a really great talk last night with this guy
Knighthorse. His GF is the skinny 'skye': she is always telling
everyone everything about herself: "I I I , me me me,
bla bla bla, bad periods, I am crazy and violent and
have eating disorders, isn't that so cute and funny,
heehee?" But knighthorse is a nice guy (isn't it always
that way) who is a jeweler by trade. He doesn't cut
gems yet, but he makes jewelry & sets stones & stuff
and was showing us pictures of his latest work & a
setting he'd kind of had to improvise for putting a 3
carat diamond into one of those really tacky
'horseshoe' rings, in white gold. It was really well
done, but a tacky ring. He was more interesting in the
setting he'd made for the ring rather than the overall
end effect. He loves his work, loves his job, has one
supervisor he doesn't care for, but other than that
does all right. I guess maybe one of the lessons I
could learn from him is to just focus on what little
creative,interesting thing you do within the big
picture. maybe nobody will notice, but at least *you*
know you've put something of yourself into it, done
something new and interesting that at least
entertained you :)
*sigh*
anyway...Boss lady is all crazed today; she wants us
to get big production #"s today and then 3 seconds
later tells me I need to work on the extended benefits
appeals that have been stacking up--those things take
a really long time to work through. I can do 3 of
those in the same time I do 10 regular ones. I asked
her if she really wants me to do that,and she got all
crazed and sort of announced to everyone: "we all
need to work, bla bla, I know it's stressful to be so
far behind in our work, bla bla"...but that really
didn't answer my fuckin' question or give me to
believe that she was going to be cool with my numbers
sucking because I worked TUC.
Feh. The important thing is : I Don't Care.
