What a fucking day. Not really, and there are children starving and homeless people and all that so I need to just STFU. But still, I need to vent.
- I forgot about returning the rental car this morning until I put on my jacket, so I was already running later than I wanted to.
- I got to the rental place and the guy had gone to drop someone else off and nobody else was working, so I had to sit and wait for 25 minutes. Good thing they give me good prices.
- My boss wants me to basically drop anything that isn't directly related to my new priorities, but this one supposedly little project keeps coming back and eating like 1-2 hours every day. I'm so sick of it, but I can't drop it and everybody else now associates me with it making it worse.
- The website of a vendor I have to work with was misbehaving all day and I managed to get basically nothing done with it.
- An employee of mine complained that he was stuck working at reception to cover for the receptionist instead of prepping on new courses he needs to learn, so I sent an email to the local managers asking if there's a way to fix this in future, and it was interpreted as a huge complaint and the result was a big guilt-filled clusterfuck.
- I have a few projects that have been stuck on the back-burner until I find more time, but now I have a meeting at 8am with my boss and I need to have some progress on them. So much for having an evening.
- I just want to go home but somebody has unlocked the new lock on our new office door during the construction, and the only keys are all at least 30-75 minutes away from the office at the moment. The door can't be locked without the key -- great design -- and I'm sitting here to protect shit for at least a little bit longer.
ARGH.
I didn't even get into the existential do I even want this job shit that's swirling in my head today. That's an entirely separate journal I think.
