Oh ugh, shrift, that sounds like no fun. At least you had the vacation?!?!?
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Another vote in favor of professional management--I put my rent check in the drop box yesterday morning. The check was picked up and was cleared through my bank the same day. No more waiting to see when it clears!

I love coming back to work after a long vacation to get a performance review about how my work isn't particularly valued and my projects aren't high profile enough, and do I maybe want to move to another team.
Ugh. And in terms of what's valued, that's...not your responsibility? That's on other people.

Oh god -- I keep thinking I'm rich and/or thrifty when it turns out my landlord (mother) hasn't deposited my rent check!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
he literally replied with "No. Call me immediately about this."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is greatly of the suck, shrift.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry, shrift. It sucks that they don't recognize your awesomeness.

I'm sorry shrift, that sucks. Way to blow vacation afterglow. :(
My newish job, I feel like I'm doing a good job on the client-facing part, keeping them happy, but the internal part (which involves a lot of finance forecasting and figuring out if people are charging too many hours to the project or too few and why), I feel awful at.
Continuing ridiculous dating adventures: went on a date a week and a half ago. Messaged her the next morning I had a good time, here's my number text me if you want to go out again. Three days later she texted me to say sure, did I want to go out on (date another week and a half later)" I responded a couple hours later, sure...its now been four more days and no word. Ridiculous!

shrift, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. What a way to come back to work.
