Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's totally my old standby from super-boring jobs. You can waste half the day just with water! Even better if you run into people on your way to or from the kitchen or bathroom.

I'm not even joking.

That's really.....well, I'm not sure what that is.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Was told today that people cannot leave work until all projects due are complete for the day. Even if new jobs are added that weren't planned for and even if half the day is wasted waiting for approvals. and no, I can't now pad schedules because we are forever delayed because of other people.

I said I might start looking for a new job.

I think that was the proper response.

Are they insane?!

well I can leave because I can log on from home.

I am not sure how I'd account for the water time on my timesheets.

Their expectations aregetting a wee bit unreasonable.

Lovely. Sorry your job is attacking you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too, msbelle. That sucks.
