And what a quick trip it was... was super busy yesterday, getting there, meetings, briefings edits, dinner, then a post dinner meeting. Up early meeting then home. But I got home at a decent hour - finished my work day at home and now I'm killing time before a massage. Yes sucks to be me today.
Well maybe as I may just drop into sleep on the table. First and only night in a hotel is still the first night - never sleep that well then up and moving early... is no fun. Up side boss man brought in bagels and fruit and the coffee was very good. A productive 8 hours spread over 2 days.
Heard the weather report - we are supposed to get a small dusting of snow - its going to be bitterly cold this weekend. OH SO tired of cold. But we've got 6 weeks of winter left - there is a rumor of more snow next week - oh goodie. No word of feet of snow--- so I will not complain, plus Bubba is home so - get out there big boy and enjoy. Hee hee hee
Bubba got an interesting job offer first it was to stay until the end of February, then maybe into March on another position. Now it's until JUNE! Holy cow! Bubba said he was looking forward to taking a couple of weeks off - so perhaps major vacation this summer... until he sees the prices. LOL We'll see.
I have spent every day this week involved in a giant contest of wills with the code jockeys in the south. Apparently they don't realized that standards and reviews are in place to catch the stupid mistakes before the customer sees them... but apparently we aren't needed. Groovy. Sent a poison pen letter to the new boss and said - here is what we do, how we do it and the results of our actions - and they have been positive. Cut us out of the process - what the crap-ola head out the door - and we aren't signing off on this.... it's in your lap pumpkin. We're done.
And I am SO done - just tired of fighting with full grown adults. I will pump a source returning from the southern contingent this week and see what happened when she was down there.... our fear it's going to be a whole lot of nothing. Still applying for new jobs...
Another pet peeve in my world, there is an adult meeting this weekend for the girl's group - I haven't been in years. I see no reason to spend the better part of $200 to sit and have no idea or suggestion I contribute be accounted or try to be interested or involved. Why bother? So I don't. Plus you then have to sit there and take a 15 minute process and turn it into an all night even while some yutz types with two fingers to complete the annual report. To me it is so painful - I really get annoyed. So this year I took it into my own hands and did the report myself. It took me 15 minutes - literally - and that was taking my time with the instructions. WHY would I sit there watching someone take 30 minutes to do something so mind-numbing stupid??? Of course this morning I got another nasty email from the web-guru of the girls group in Maryland. I had taken it upon myself to do the report and it went down hill from there. Of course there is an extra Maryland requirement of another copy - fine - go find a copier and make one. Kiss my grits. I simply do not understand why this is such a bug up their collective butts? I sincerely doubt every mother advisor of Pennsylvania has to gather and watch one of the inner circle type their report until 1 AM. I did it - I'm a grown up if you don't like it - FIRE ME.
But they can't - because my local group is growing I've got girls involved and working hard. So leave me alone - I get things done generally on time and right. As my father said a long time ago - it's easier to say oh sorry - didn't know and have it done. Then to ask and be told no or do it my way which is longer, more involved and frankly a huge pain in the backside.
I dropped off the paperwork after I got home, if it doesn't work for you well ain't life tough? I can promise you they will find something wrong and a HUGE announcement will come out next year that you have to do it their way during the weekend... I will send my paperwork and still not go. I have tried time and time again to fit in - offer suggestions, practical applications, I have a degree in Information Systems, I work with computers, I programmed them for a long time. Offered my services - they gave the web guru job to a housewife, and the web site monitor to another woman who's job is in the nursing profession - ask me again why should I bother? Ok now that I am all worked up and mad - I'm going to get it all rubbed out...
Life some days aren't so bad... hee hee hee.
