The new "cage"? Really comfortable but terrible support. I think it's just gonna only end up replacing my old, comfy, no support one ..that is still a good thing but I'm disappointed. I'll just have to keep tryin'.
Have scheduled monthly call review tomorrow and I'm nervous about it. I think I preferred the previous version which was unscheduled...actually I prefer the version that was before that...you just listened to it and read the comments. No interaction with your manager was necessary (then again, I'm on my 5th manager in 2 years! That's how crazy things are at this place)
Am nervous because I don't know which call will be reviewed -hopefully not one where I ...spoke my mind and was too honest. I hate doing these call review things because there is always something I've done wrong or not done that I was supposed to. I work my fucking ass off for the callers and management chooses to focus on the "wrongs", not the "rights". But that's the job isn't it? It's all about the calls and there isn't anything else they care about. But maybe talking with her about the recent stresses of everything may help and I'll even try to find out what she does to help her keep her cool. And what might work for me. Get a 2nd opinion.
Blimey. It's 3am and my plan of an earlier bedtime is now not happenin'. Oh well. It won't be the first time I'm half awake/half asleep for a mornin' date w/B (this morning didn't happen after all...he had to go into work...oh well, more sleep for me! I love our mornings together but they can be brutal for both of us with the lack of sleep we both consistently have)
Arrrgh...there was more I was going to go on about tonight but have gotten caught up in YoVille w/Shanna. It turns out we can be on the same server and hang out together in this virtual world.
So enough for now. Have some other stuff to do before crashing. More next time.
Musings from a big and beautiful sometimes "drama queen" on her current state of existence
What's It All About?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.
You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.
