I hate the term "thought leader". It sounds so Orwellian. Ought to use the Klingon term "Thought Admiral".

"Compellingly drove cross functional synergies" sounds a lot like my workplace. Ew.

I have to write manager's comments on 20 people's annual reviews. I am doing this right now, in fact. I no longer have any sympathy for the whining about having to write ONE.

Day was not as bad as I feared. My boss didn't want to, like, have a conversation about all this. I asked her for some help prioritizing and first she said "it's all high priority" which, yeah, that's the problem, and then at least she told me the next thing she's like me to work on which is more direction that I often get.
But I legit do not think this job is a good fit for me. I should probably quit and go back to the temp agency. Not until after the winter party, though, I've already RSVP'd with my deposit.

Ugh. My old boss did this all the time. And then she wouldn't give me any further guidance. Like, I can't physically work on more than one thing at a time, so what order should I do them in? "Do them all, as fast as you can." Fuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuu.
