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.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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?

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.

Thrive to spite them
I'm still stuck on the mountain. I still can't get to work. A taxi will cost at least $30 one way. And then I have to walk bck up when I'm off.
I don't know anyone well enough nor does anyone live close enough for me to ask for a ride.
Mom is going stir crazy. She did walk down a fair way and get out.
The issue is ice. It got down to 20 last might and hasn't been sunny or super warm so the ice is still really firm and it's I don't know how much but imagine 4 car lengths of fairly solid ice in tire tracks and then down the middle is mostly frozen snow that goes over my bumper.
If I had gone to Matthew's I could have just driven back and forth.
I do have 2 days of PTO so I will only lose 3 days of pay. I hope if it gets credited right. I feel like I'm being irresponsible toward work but I don't want to spend a lot of money to get to a job that pays $9/hr.
So I'm stuck and frustrated.
