Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Our wings are not tired.

If the comments were truly anonymous that could be fun.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh.

Unrelatedly, I am upright and back at work! Yay, I guess. I mean, sure, yay. Definitely.

Oh dana that's hella awkward! Damn. Was there any sense at all that anything would be done about the feedback? I'm guessing no.

Fb reminded me that 7 years ago today I started looking for a new job because my old job took away 6 days of vacation per year. In a few months I'll have been at my current company for 7 years, and will be making even more vacation per year...reasons I hesitate to leave this company. Golden handcuffs?

The broader issues, I have no idea. The general stuff about our manager? I would not want to be in the meeting where she's confronted with this feedback. But what can they do? She's got too much work as it is, and they're not going to somehow lighten the load so she can spend time changing her personality and becoming a better manager.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't feel like doing anything, but at least I don't have to have a meeting like that?

I am trying to get through some file audits which will get s stack of things off my desk. Fairly slow going.

Motivation low.

People being annoying.

The only reason I dragged myself into work today is because I need to start training some newbies. Oh, and it's tater tot day, so I guess two reasons.

I've reached the point in two jobs where I need things from other people, I can stop and wait or pick up something else and risk having yet another job that will be partially done.

Just saw reference to a housing development called Potemkin Village. I don't want to live there. It's in Georgia, it's low-income housing. Some developer is either very cynical or pretty clueless.
