I am having issues with a higher up at work. Not someone I report to, but someone above my level. The person is not doing work that I need and it is affecting my ability to do meet deadlines. This morning, we have an issue with a worker. The higher up in question was supposed to have talked to them about something, something big, but they didn't. The employee comes up to me and is asking me questions that I know nothing about - completely awkward. Turns out I do need to do something, but I was never told and in fact, my inquiries into this process were ignored more than once. I am so annoyed. I end up having to scramble.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I had my freakout here at work this morning.
I'm covering for two people, one of whom started vacation today due to Passover and one who had to go to her BIL's funeral and will be out the rest of the week. What I'm doing is something I know how to do in theory (the second person's task) but haven't had to do in over a year (the first person's task), and I was already worried about missing a few steps. When I came in (two hours earlier than I normally would to get this stuff done on time), however, I found out that the damn server wasn't working! Arrrrgh!!
At least it came back up five minutes after I called it in to IT.
And I get to go home by 4:00, which is nice. Then I get to come in at 7:00 again tomorrow.

Lewis had to take Mooshu and Pisces in to the vet this morning. (Mooshu's got an upset tummy, Pisces needs her annual.)
Jasmine is Very Concerned and has subsequently Velcroed herself to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh my, I feel your pain. My direct line supervisor has been flaking out on me for weeks and I'm the one feeling the brunt of it.

The only remedy I've ever found for that is to CC the known world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
sara, dude, the flipping is normal. You'll survive it, and we're here to bounce off until then.
exactly this.
