Friday Vents
1. I have my music up so loud at work to drown out the distracting noise (people) around here, but my music is so loud that I can't concentrate. I stopped doing actual work circa 9:15 this morning, which was after our 45 minute coffee talk. Ok, I have done no work today.
2. While doing no work, I am in the middle of a text fight with BF. The subject? How we can't communicate. Here are the Clif's Notes:
BF: What's wrong with you today?
Me: Our communication sucks.
BF: What did I do wrong? Give me examples.
Me: I would be happy to do that tonight, in person, in a two way conversation, not through text, especially because we are talking about COMMUNICATION.
It gets worse from there.
3. I suck at training people at work, to the point that I get frustrated and would rather just do it all myself.
4. It's cold and dark these days and I feel like I am having a tough battle with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I was driving home last night from work trying to convince myself that I can make it through this season!
I feel better now. Now you.
Re: Friday Vents
This is lame and a stupid first world problem but here goes.
I am annoyed at my nail salon yet I keep going back because it's convenient. They always try to do extra things to increase the price of the manicure (last week she used a callous remover on my hands and charged a dollar more--I don't have any callouses on my hands!) I'm too lazy to argue about it because their English sucks so it's easier just to give the woman a crappy tip (I give the same amount regardless of the cost of the service but the more she charges the lower the % of the tip so a $2 on a $10 mani turns into a $2 on a $12 mani).
I got my nails done today and the paint job is fine but my cuticles look like crap. Also, last time the polished chipped after 3 days--usually my nails last a week at this place. I guess it's time to look for a new nail salon ::sigh::
Where the hell did my temp go??
It's 2:30PM and she's already gone. No appts on her calendar for the rest of the day, everything at her desk is shut down adn turned off, and she didn't say anything to me about needing to leave early.
WTH?!
Me too! For some reason this year the nights getting dark so early and the change in temperature is really tough for me. I don't remember ever having this problem before.
SIL... What else? I told her I can't watch her kids on weds, she wanted to know why! No of your effing business!!!! I just told her I have an appointment. I have to be polite right now because BF works with his brother and if her and I get into it, it will put a strain on them. It's really a sh!tty situation all around right now.
I am in the same boat except I don't have a big project but rather have tasks that should have been done. Sadly I think I have to take the laptop home this weekend to get it done.
