Holy cow, I feel my back muscles all tense and it’s high time for a massage. Last night I made the mistake of answering some questions related to the project that I was working on. The next thing I know I’m talking with my boss on the phone, then in a Zoom Meeting and presto more than 2 hours of my evening was wiped out. Despite that I was still expected to keep on working to some how make a miracle happen. I was asked for reports, I produced the reports as requested.
There was some concern about the way they would appear so I was asked to submit a sample early and did that last week. Waited days and heard nothing back. Monday word came down that all was okay. I pushed yesterday to get everything done and wrapped up, got the reports out. Now all of a sudden the person that I sent my sample to didn’t like the formatting. I am not a word processor, I gave what was requested. This kind of crap happens all the time and I am tired of it. I was close to spouting off and quitting but I held my tongue until the call was done and then I let loose. I am not fond of certain people in management and wish they would up and retire or just drop dead, something but get out of my life. I wish that but sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.
Here we are another day and this morning was all about the reports. I pushed the formatting off on word processing and am letting them work their magic. The request is just beyond the scope of my job duties and appeasing the sob that opted to wait until the 11th hour to phone in his criticism has not set well with me. Now I can move on with other work and tasks but still have to wait to see how this turns out. My boss is calling me like a mother hen checking in to see where we are at. I told him it’s in the hands of word processing.
Needless to say I didn’t get to enjoy my evening like I had planned on doing. I am pretty worked up so not sure if things will be any better tonight. I know I need a shower and who knows if I will feel like making that happen. I was awake at 3a and up for an hour. That made for quite the rough start this morning. I knew I’d wake up is the worst part of it. Anytime there is worry or stress it negatively affects my ability to stay asleep. The cats did their part to help me get back to sleep. Rudy wanted me up at 6a and I wasn’t terribly pleased with his request but didn’t take it out on him, just brushed him off and he collapsed on top of me in disgust, patiently waiting for me to finally get up, which I did at 7a.
Both my boss and I hope that after this little request is put to bed and finalized in the format that is acceptable that we don’t get a similar request for this month. What a PITA.
Hope your having a better day than me. Thank God that there is only one more day left in the week. Hopefully, things will calm down and I can enjoy the weekend. Now it’s upstairs to fetch something for lunch and feed the cats. We will hang out for a bit and then I will climb back downstairs and resume working. Still little to no personal time to surf for porn or catch up on my daily reads, perhaps there is hope for that this afternoon, it would certainly be a more enjoyable way to spend the afternoon than fussing over a damn report.
Take care and be well.
