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.

Nice!
provided we email our supervisor about it and don't forget to subtract the vacation time from our next paychecks.
...the fuck? How...nice of them.
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.
I have motivation! •"get shit done or it won't get done oh crap" motivation, but, um. Am cranking through work at site, because we have a deadline this month and this is the last time
I'm here before the deadline, and am getting endless "oh do this and this and this and find out why this" emails from above. Aaaaaagh.
That was tacky of me.
No, tacky would be mentioning that, in a startling coincidence, my boss just came by and said that our boss agreed that it would be a good idea if we left at 2.
To make up for it, however, I really don't think I can leave at 2 anyway since I'm behind on various projects that are due next week.
Quester, I am very sorry you didn't get the gig.
JZ, and I am very sorry that your gig sucks so much!!!
I am taking today off to slounge with STEVE who is visiting me. Today is his birthday, and he already opened his gifts so we get to listen to the new Roots cd which is AWESOME! And later maybe we'll watch his new Prime Suspect dvds. I also gave him Photoshop Elements since he's been using an ahemed copy and I thought he should have the real thing. All in all, a very low-key day filled with doggies and maybe breakfast at the Oakland Grill later.
Tonight we're just hanging around the deck and barbequing some asparagus and mahi-mahi.
Tomorrow we will haz a meara!
