just continuing work complaints...cause venting on lj is really great!
la la la, i was going along, doing the work thing,
and this email from by boss's boss hit me the wrong way...
it was something along the lines of "FYI": and in the email was a list of reports that had not been processed , waiting to be processed by me, from our warehouse in Ohio.
yes... this coming from my boss's boss...
he just freakin' sent me an email for reports, and for work instructions, and inspection reports, all within the past two days, and he KNOWS we have an inventory in 2 weeks and that he'd given me a project to start a new process. which i have now declined because i know i can't make deadline with the workload that has seemed to plateau, but NO ONE has helped me send out the god damn backlog of reports to the suppliers AT ALL. (we're going back to march folks. and no one sees this as a sign that i'm drowning??!?!) i've fed as much as i can, but no one wants to help. they just want to point the finger. and he calls me into the office, "let's talk and see what we can do to help." i just TOLD YOU what i have to do... and you have no idea. i care a lot about our boss's boss, but he's handing out too many things and losing sight of what they are and what they're really doing. he's losing the connection to what's going on.
maybe i can buy some peaches for him tomorrow. lol. i have a craving for them anyways.
*sigh* i just pictured myself giving him some peaches and work still felt painful.
i try to do that a lot. well, not buy peaches. but when things are tough, it's nice to throw in super random kindness. it freaks people out in happiness and it's twice as wonderful to see them and i should get Kathryn some candy for the candy jar. i bit her head off really hard a few weeks ago. and i think she's just been frazzled by everything and is still trying to understand why i bit her head off. (she was my co-worker that i went shopping-happy with in OH.) she's still getting used to her new weight watcher's body, lol. some clothes are a little baggier than others.
hmmm...i dunno, i still feel bummed about the work. but today i made progress, and tomorrow it'll all be updated in the system! well, that is the locations for these, which will feel like half the battle! it's something i wish i could improve on, my learning curve. it truly is a curve, but i wish it was more a straight line sometimes, because that's how people understand me better, but i learn more on an exponential curve. once i can see where we want to be, then i have that goal in mind and know how to connect the dots to get there. but i get stuck because i don't know how to persuade people and get them to where i am... :(
and with the workload these days, i have no patience and am easily annoyed by the boss's boss's requests.
"stacy, we need to get you past all these tedious tasks, because you have so much more potential than this"
well, you may say this, but your actions say otherwise to me... so i said to him,
"really? you think this?" -___-;
thank you Jesus that tomorrow is Friday. my brother and i plan to go in early, so then maybe we can leave by 2pm!
