The Busy Little Bee
Oy.. I can't catch a break at this dump. Yesterday, I got dragged to the Mafioso's place by the B.A. to work on taking ghost images of their two current computers and getting ready to move his son's new Alienware computer over there. Which, unfortunately, is being done tomorrow. Needless to say, since it's a weekend... and a holiday weekend... I will be charging triple time for my services that day. Triple time at my consulting rate, not the shit hourly wage I get from this fuck hole.
I am still exhausted, sleep-deprived and severely crabby.
Being out of the office may have been nice but I have a ton of shit to do here that I can't really blow off and it's piling up quickly. Add to that the fact my phone has been ringing off the hook nonstop all week. You'd think the last week of the year would be easy, but it's as if they all have been waiting until this week to call me with their issues for the whole year. I have been reduced to calling my old job's number and sitting in their auto-attendant menu to keep my phone tied up so I can do shit (like work on new laptops that have to go out, place orders for other new equipment... oh, and updating my blog).
I've started to leak it out to a few people that I will have a limited amount of time here after the new year. I've been focusing on January 15th for giving my notice, but depending on how things go I might give it earlier. I am annoyed that the B.A. decided to do this big server upgrade next Friday. I had fully intended to use my two personal days right off and take a Friday and Monday off. Now it'll have to wait a week. I am going to try my best *not* to work a full week from now until I leave.
It's like they won't let me go without a fight though. You'd think I was being punished with some of the shit I've had to deal with this week. I swear some of these people couldn't figure out how to get out of a T-shirt on their own. Even amongst all my annoyance with them and the exhaustion I've been dealing with, I feel very confident about what I do around here now. It's unfortunate that it took my rapport this long to really take hold as I am about to leave. I don't regret leaving, don't get me wrong. But, it takes so long sometimes to get comfortable in a job.
My time spent yesterday with my boss and the B.A. was very relaxed and casual. I couldn't help but feel as if the world was about to crash down on me with the bitches here not knowing where I was. I know they probably thought I was gone for the day and I wonder if I'll get paid for all my time I was punched in. So a nice afternoon out of the office was basically spent swimming in anxiety.
Why do I still even care? I don't know... probably the lack of sleep. It's making me too sensitive.
The question is, how long can I stay on my phone on my old company's auto-attendant? It's so nice that my phone ISN'T ringing right now. I miss the Circus right now, which is blaspheme to even say. But, the last week of the year was always a complete blow off and I'd spend it blogging and surfing and doing album reviews and making resolution lists. I don't really care for this working at work. I get crabby without ME time and I need some fucking ME time.
