Grr
I am irrationally angry that my boss just stomped all over both actually useful, productive things I was planning to do next week.




I was toiling away on a deadline when you posted this and I fear I may have missed out on the opportunity to gleefully discuss wonderful revenge fantasies for getting back at said boss, like harnessing a fire tornado and sending it to their house or building a robot dog and training it to pee on their shoes. Work gets in the way of everything fun.
I suppose by now you're past that?
I'm in a different phase of it now. Now I'm in the lamenting the path of life phase that brought me to a place where the only employer that wanted me was the one who had no use for me, which is a cruel fate to bestow on someone.
After spending a good number of hours on argument scenarios in my head where I got to tell someone of authority how disappointing this all is.
Ahhh... the third stage of the six stages of Good Grief! Did you get to win any of those arguments? I never do, which is really quite sad.
My tale is one of underachievement and woe, but leads more to my being considered Necessary Evil.
Most of them were more scenarios in which the boss's boss asked me how things were going and I was honest! I never really got to the end where we discover whether I get fired or things change for the better.
Oh! I like this idea. I've actually had this work to my advantage, which explains part of why I am considered necessary evil.
Would getting fired be just another version of things getting better?
Well. Not so much... I'd lose my apartment pretty quickly.
Homeless sucks. BTDT. Maybe keep the job, but don't think about it for a couple of days.
I may feel better after the weekend.
I do think that if nothing changes by the 6 month mark I should start looking and applying for new things.
So you're fairly new to the post?
1 month!
1 month yesterday, actually.
Happy Anniversary? Hang tight. It's mostly growing pains right now.
I'm enjoying a cool autumn breeze on the dock of my favorite brew pub. It's weekend time.
It leaves me feeling exhausted. It's ridiculous to do nothing all day and be exhausted by it, but it's what happens.
I may just go to bed early...
I do understand that.
