1) Of course we’re not moving to Indianapolis. Someone just likes to get my hopes up by dangling job postings in front of me and then ::boom:: snatching them away. Because who wouldn’t want to live in the south, where between us we have 1 friend and zero family members?
2) You know what sucks? Walking on eggshells.
3) I posted today on Facebook that men get PMS. I wanted to continue the thought with “And Midol for Dudes should be administered via suppository.” I rejected that idea, though I did toy with the idea of “something something boot suppository for men”. I rejected that idea, as well, when I remembered that I have too many prissy Facebook friends (no, I don’t mean you!) who’d get all offended.
4) You know what else sucks? Overtime bans at work. I didn’t get to have a lunch hour yesterday, plus I came in at least 60 (and today 90) minutes early but left at my usual times. Ergo, I now have around 4 hours of OT if I can’t figure out how to get rid of them. It’s either get rid of them that way or lie and say, “oops, forgot to clock out for lunch!” and then the hour’s lost entirely. I did that once last week. Everyone on my team has at least a little OT to work off, so I’m pretty sure I won’t get to just say “screw you guys, I’m going home” Friday at 2. (But it is tempting!)
5) Another thing that sucks: Accidentally making eye contact with your CEO, and he asks how it’s going. Stupidly I tell him that I contacted a client who was pissed about not getting a call back (ugh, such a big mess…) and instead of getting a “Attagirl!” (undeserved though it would have been!) I get a 20 minute personal lecture about calling clients back quicker (whiiiich is why the “attagirl” would have been undeserved). Thanks dude. I am mandated 8 hours a day and sometimes shit doesn’t get done on time. Sowwwy.
