Gronkies.

In toe news, I am wearing boots today. They give the toe more room than my sneakers do. Even so, I'm not doing much walking around today.

I came SO close to quiting yesterday. I am stepping up my search internally and am starting to search externally. I have a basic resume that I'm working to flesh out more - but I have something I can send if the opportunity arises.

oof, Suzi- does this mean your meeting went not so well?

I walked out of the meeting when they started arguing over giving the admin assistant, our new mom, VPN access so she can work from home if the baby is sick. I mean, she offered to work from home, not something she HAS to do, but is willing to do for the good of the team and they are going to argue with her over it?!?!? Hello - she wants to help.

Add in the backhanded insult of them telling her "Well, you just got back, so none of these problems were YOUR fault". Umm, the only other people in the room were the contract manager and me. So, my fault? Try the fact that you have us stretched so thin and morale is so low (yeah, the meeting didn't help that one) that mistakes WILL happen, but the only one I KNOW was 100% mine was a complete fluke. Not something to build a QC process around. All the other mistakes passed through multiple hands and NO ONE noticed. So...sorry, but that just tells me we are all at max.

eta - Oy, sorry. Still a bit bitter. After the meeting I called my supervisor in Boise and we found a job in San Jose that would be a big pay jump and I qualify. But it is 2 hours from home and I HATE commuting.

Oh, shit. Suzi, I'm so sorry! I meant to comment on that. Let me go do that right now. I'm so sorry!

vw, no worries. I have changed my resume since I last sent it to you.

Want to send me the newest version?

When I finish with my latest set of tweaking. I had some more ideas this morning in the shower (isn't that the place for them).

Crumbs, Suzi - that doesn't sound good! Best of luck with the job hunt, though, love!

...I feel a bit silly reiterating what Kristin said, because she wins at the summarising, I think. So - everything she said. And also - glad PC's date went well, uselessly sorry for the awfulness of having to write a 'sorry you're dying' card, hope Emily's Discussion Thingy went well, and Toto's expression of bemusement was adorable. Um.

Meanwhile - I can haz trip to Singapore! To hook up with a very dear friend from Egypt, and possibly gatecrash a total stranger's wedding! (I'm assuming Muslim wedding, although it might not be.)

jiggles pornpoms once again.

GRONK!

jiggles pornpoms once again.

Now there's a happy sight to wake up to. Thank you so, dearest, beloved Fay.

Ok. It figures. I fuss about work and then I get bcc'ed on the following e-mail to my boss from the gal I trained with in DC.

Just wanted to let you know what a great job Suzi has been doing as my back up for CBR/TIA support.

As well as providing user support during my absences, she has taken over complete responsibility for our time dependent monthly data transfers to AP from the various team firms we support.

She has done an excellent job finding work around the various problems that come up every month and has been able to provide insightful answers to our CH users when problems occur. She has also been extremely professional in dealing with our corporate interfaces (always the most difficult part of the job).
