So, it’s 4 or 5 days from December. The good news is that I get paid on Thursday. This is the time of year when phrases like “black out dates”, “year end”, “working on Saturdays” and “Fuck you Christmas on Tuesday*” get bandied about the office.<\/p>\n
What’s making me a little crazy now (other than that my Ambien hasn’t kicked in yet WTF??) is that I’m going to keep accruing time off all during year end but I can’t use any of it until February at the earliest. I hate how it taunts me, especially now that I accrue 4.615(?) hours per pay period. My time off bank is taunting me “Hee hee, loser, you have plenty of time off, perhaps now’s a good time to plan a trip to see your family! Oh, wait, what’s that? Oh, right, the 1\/4 of the year where you don’t get to leave the building, let alone the state. Ha ha!”<\/p>\n
What’s additionally annoying is that the new girl on the team was hired given the week before Christmas off so she could go to the Caribbean so that entire week I get to answer everyone’s questions about “How the hell did she manage THAT?”<\/p>\n
And in other work news, the company is hiring for a team lead. The only way I’m putting my hat in that ring is if the money is tremendously better. I really really really dislike the trappings of management (in particular meetings) and the hard parts (training) are not even remotely my forte. And I think we all know I’m basically allergic to being the bad guy so I’d be terrible at having to tell people to get on the stick.<\/p>\n
Ugh, time for more wine, I have got to get this Ambien working so I can go to bed.<\/p>\n
*No, we don’t get Xmas Eve off. And 12\/26 is a black out date and I don’t mean the type you forget because of the wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
