Video games fix everything
Work this week has been TERRIBLE. Let me explain. No, it is too much. Let me sum up.
- My unit of three individuals has taken on double its normal workload.
- At the same time, the company reorganized, meaning that a) the majority of the people we're working with now don't know us or the processes we need them to follow; b) most of those aforementioned people are new to their jobs and/or our industry; and c) some of those processes I mentioned? Oh yeah, they changed too. Result: No one, including us, knows what the everloving hell is going on most of the time.
- We have yet to hire more staff to compensate for the increased workload. (This is in progress.)
- One third of us are going on vacation next week.
On the bright side:
- My manager has our back, frequently tells us things like "Don't even worry about that," and "I want you to feel empowered make those decisions."
- We're going to hire some new people SOME TIME SOON I SWEAR RIGHT?
- IT'S FRIDAY.
ALSO I HAVE BECOME COMPLETELY RE-OBSESSED WITH FINAL FANTASY IX. It's my favorite FF game, because it's adorable and the music is stunning and Rachel showed me how to play it during our courtship.
This may be the very video with which she wooed me into spending hours at her tiny apartment, jabbing the TRIANGLE SQUARE X CIRCLE buttons and crying "I hate battles!" just to hear her say "No, you looooove battles!"
Back then, I had never seen more impressive CG in my life. Even though it's little compared to what they come out with now, it still takes my breath away.
