Sparks and Butterflies...

But aside from that, she's still completely normal

September and October hate me

So… I just did my timecard. Last week clocked 52 hours. I suppose 12 hours at time 1/2 is good. But dude. Getting phone calls at midnight on Thursday nights isn’t my idea of a good time. Nor is calling London on my home phone on the weekends. There’s an expense report in my future.

Of course the project isn’t yet over by far.

Then Poe & Joseph got a stomach bug over night. They’re tag teaming the puking. We have such a small house that you can hear everything. So one hears the other, and it starts the next one up. So I try to call in sick to work today – because Poe can’t help Joseph with his own head in the bowl. But my boss is sick too. So I need to cover the office anyway.

And to top it all off, got my period, which we all know makes me an ecstatically beautiful person to be around.

And YOU try making changes to someone’s travel halfway around the world when your network is down. I can sit and write an entry – but can’t get into the travel website.

I blame Jeannette.

Why?

Everything started going downhill when she died.

Remember that letter I wrote her? Yeah. She’s now fired.

Hmph.

So, I wrote a whole entry on something that really frustrates me at work. And then I deleted it. Lest I be Dooced.

Suffice it to say that 1. I’m am not a factory worker with bells/horns telling me when to have break and lunch (not that there’s anything wrong with that – but the fact stands – I’m not). 2. I am not a child. 3. I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and am now at the executive level of my career path.

And that is all I can say about that. Though I really really really want to rant and rave on and on and on. But I won’t because of number 2. above. Nyah Nyah.

I may have to stay late. I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I do. I may be home early. If that’s the case, please know it’s because I got fired for hurting someone at work. Physically. With much blood. Love you.

Discombobulation – say it 10 times fast

I am absolutely discombobulated!! I took that time for Jeannette, and you would think the sky had fallen. Dude. You** REALLY REALLY can live without me. I mean it’s nice to be needed and all, but it’s Thursday and I’m still not caught up. And your calling me every hour to see if your stuff is done? “Well, you’re back now.” Does NOT make things happen faster. I know it may seem very very important to you, but since I’m working with over 30 films in various stages of production, and managing about $30 million worth of budgets, you’re just gonna have to wait your turn Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit. For fuck’s sake get over yourself. Have I EVER let you down? No? Then get off my back.

** This is the Universal You. You encompasses about 15 individuals that have their heads up their asses.

Okay, so I’m not exactly going to talk about work, but I AM going to talk about the damn work softball team. There’s only one person (that I know of) at work who reads this, and 1) She loves me (right?) and 2) She’s not on the team.

So – you know how “There’s no crying in baseball?” Well, I’m an idiot, and there is. ‘Cause – well – you know, I’m in first grade and I was apparently picked last for kickball.

I’m not making any sense.

Last year was the first year we played. I started it, ’cause I thought it would be fun, but a couple people just kind of took over. I let them, because hey – I got to play, it was fun, and they knew what they were doing. Last year our team sucked. The big one. We lost every.single.game. It was very sad. This year we lost about 1/2 our team due to employee turnover. Apparently our head honchos, who are also on the team, know how to schmooze and started recruiting. We just had practice last night, and we have a very very good team.

So after the practice we all came to the middle to discuss placement, since it was the first time together. Much discussion back and forth. Oh this person should definitely go here, and here, no this one would be better here, etc. Then they assigned. Everybody. They went in the order we were standing there, and skipped me. Then they came back to me, and very dismissively said, “Oh, you can be in the batting lineup, and maybe you can play if someone gets hurt.” I nodded. ‘Cause what am I gonna do? Argue? When the talent was fairly obvious?

I cried all the way home.
