I drove him home then fixed my tree. Just lights for now. Will do ornaments tomorrow. Myself. Maybe put some more strands of lights.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, Laura. I'm sorry. It took me a couple years of being with TCG to get used to the fact that decorating the tree didn't have to be a completely stressful task because my stepdad would bitch and complain the whole time.

Sorry, Laura.
Can you give them the feedback that you have too many early morning meetings?
If only. I will probably say the usual, that our PMs have too much on their plates, being responsible for both marketing and technical things, which means we can't get enough of their time or attention, so we all (including them) end up stressed. And people will nod, and nothing will change.

my stepdad would bench and complain the whole time
Yes, the complaining non-stop was more annoying than the crap work product. I even played his favorites Bad Santa and Elf to set a mood.

oh my god, I think an early meeting for analyzing employee feedback results is actually worse than early morning team meetings where we don't get anything done. Maybe. Updates probably to come.

Oh, no, this is definitely worse, because we're reviewing the team's overall opinion of management. Which is not great. So this is awkward. Even though our manager isn't present.

And now we're going through people's anonymous comments.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds dreadful. One of the higher numbered circles of hell, I'm sure.

If the comments were truly anonymous that could be fun.

They were anonymous, except to the extent that they revealed certain issues that we all know certain people have. It was not good. I so wish I'd been able to pretend I hadn't seen the meeting notice. I probably could have done without any problems.
