That sucks, quester.
kitty~ma for tommyrot!
I had no motivation to even come into work today, so I didn't get in until 11:00. I'm guessing I'll be here until at least 5:00. My fault--I just couldn't wake up, and then when I did, I wanted to watch last night TDS/Colbert before coming in.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had no motivation to even come into work today
I have some last few things to do before vacation, and it's hard to even do those. I just want to *be on* vacation, dang it!
My next chore: to sort through the literally 3-4 months' worth of comics I haven't read and decide which ones to take to the beach. Because all of them is too many. (Not for me to read, but to be toting around. Plus going to the beach with 2 teenage boys means that I might not return with all the comics anyway.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We got a gracious notice yesterday that we're all free to leave at either 2 or 3 today, provided we email our supervisor about it and don't forget to subtract the vacation time from our next paychecks.
Together with the announcements that our tiny division had laid off yet another staffer, that the person who had falsely promised me a promotion a year and a half ago was abruptly retiring effective this instant, and that refreshments will no longer be provided for the monthly staff meetings (we used to get one small cake from the cafeteria for all the birthdays of the month, and sometimes a cheese plate), staff morale is not even in the toilet, but in a 50-foot pit under 50 feet of sludge under the septic tank under the toilet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, JZ.

Um, isn't that true of every day, then??

Thanks, guys. It's going to take awhile to get my motivation back.

And, augh, quester, I'm sorry to be bitching about my job when I actually have one to bitch about. That was tacky of me.
eta: And I'm pretty sure you are in fact an awesome designer. The job market is just flat-out evil. One of the nursing stations upstairs from me posted a single position about a month ago and got something like 700 applications.

JZ, you are more than entitled to bitch about your job. You are not tacky.
AS for being a good designer, no, I really am not. I should stick to looking for prepress or photoshop jobs. That's my real expertise.
But, you're right about the job market. It does truly suck.
