Explanation of Benefits.

I learned a new blues progression, though, does that count?

So in my frustration I called the hiring manager for my job (since my current boss is out of town). He says he's heard nothing about a hiring freeze, and so far as he knows the process is going forward.

Argh, indeed. On Friday it will be a month since I interviewed.

Now the developer has sent an email saying she worked out what is the problem (and it has nothing to do with me, remarkably) and I don't have the energy to read it. I think I'll read the scary stuff from the new director who wants things from me I don't understand. Yeah, I'll do that instead.

I don't know why "explanation of benefits" never occurred to me. Thanks!

Ugh.

Maybe with a tasty muffin?

Consuela - Amy has it right with Ugh.

I still don't have the answers I need on the project I'm covering on. I think everyone but me is in a client meeting. I have given a gal a couple of excel lessons on conditional formatting and the iferror function. Joy.

Incompetent!developer is incompetent.

Of course, so am I today, but I don't have any coworkers around to complain about it. The SO is out feeding China Wok to the high schoolers at the moment.

I think part of my problem is that I have the NAS setup stuff running in the background, so I just keep obsessively checking that, which *feels* like work, but isn't actually.

And I can't work out a problem I have with the current cigar box build, so my spare time brain is occupied too.

AND there's all this other background emotional stuff going on. No wonder I can't focus. Time for the timer, for the rest of the day, I think. 'Cause, shit, from Friday on I will be completely busy through spring break.

Boy, do I have my co-workers fooled. The head of our QA department was crutching her way to door on her way out, paused by my desk and said, "I heard the nicest thing about you today. They said you were kind and sweet and approachable." I blinked and said, "And they work here?" She grinned and said, "Yes."

And now I'm wavering between "Oh, how nice!" and "My god, I have to revise my demeanor, or they'll all start talking to me!"

Amy has it right with Ugh.

And yet when I was originally hired, I think I interviewed in October and got the offer in mid to late December. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised? Sigh.

I am being marginally more productive today. Go me.

This gap between interview and answer wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't for all the other crap you have been having to deal with and jump through.
