My life in my cubicle
So...It's not so bad. I have a big desk and windows to look out. I also have a plant. However, I have a really hard time communicating with one person in my office in particular, (the rest aren't so bad) but this guy is just hard to approach. His name is Howard and he's been in the office the longest, aside from El Capitan and his wife (of course). I just dont' know how to ask him a question without feeling like I'm being judged. He's very picky about the work, which is great, I need them to pick apart my work until I get it right. I don't mind as long as they understand it's a learning process for me. Which is why I think I have the hardest time with Howard is because he doesn't treat it like a learning process (at least it doesn't show.) I guess I'm just too self-concious of my work around him. I tend to protect it a little more then I should, which makes me appear to not be listening to him when he talks.
I've started the process of basically learning from scratch again. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm starting to learn, so that makes me feel a little better, but this is just the frustration of the week. There's this other situation, which is my boss is thinking about hiring an outside Interior Designer to do this job they have coming up for Marriott. WTF?!?!? Why am I working there then? What the hell is my job for? I talked to Dirk, and told him I would like to help with it, since that's what Pedro hired me for and I feel like he's not utilizing the resources in his office (A+ to me for aggresiveness and tact) and that I realized that I'm still new but that kind of job is what I thought I was being hired to do, so Dirk is going to talk to Pedro about it. All of this on Monday morning? After daylight savings time and a 7:30 staff meeting?
Is it Friday yet?
