You'll never make everybody's day...
Do you know what I love about Twittering to my Facebook account? I have momentary thoughts that are indicative of my day. They usually appear in my head as fully formed sentences that almost seem to appear from a source other than myself all together. I put them out there, people usually comment and almost always make me laugh... AND... when I get home and look at my Live Journal page and think "I have nothing to say.", it almost always gives me someplace to start a ramble or a rant. So...
I twittered to my Facebook account that "life would be much easier if everyone would just LISTEN TO ME!" Do you realize (of course you don't, not yet!) that I have had the same conversation with my manager three times today? He keeps asking the same questions, and the answers are not going to change. Is it wrong to find that frustrating? And yet, still I smile...
I also tried to Twitter that I was "working without shoes today. Dress code be damned." I don't think anyone will actually damn either me or the dress code, but it made my feet feel better and non-squished! The poor little tweet got lost in the denial of service outage, so I tried sending it again... at last check it still hadn't hit Twitter's or FaceBook's websites...
I'm sure I've said this before, but I spend significantly more of my time at work reporting on my job than actually doing it. I spend large amounts of time re-training people to do jobs that should be second nature to them by this time, but seemingly are not. I spend MOST of my time explaining and re-explaining policies and procedures to people who I KNOW have been trained in them AND have access to them via our very complete website (which is where I go if I need to check my facts!!). And I fill in the gaps remaining with covering for people who are not in the office or have left the bank and whose accounts have not yet been re-assigned.
And people wonder why my own work is not getting done.
I want a sign in my office that says "Lack of planning on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on mine."
I had a sign in my office that said "I'm not mean, you're just a sissy!" but I took it down before it hurt someone's feelings (but its in my drawer and I take it out and grin at it sometimes...).
AND I would just like to mention that a cafeteria short order cook who has NO idea how to scramble an egg, should NOT be making my omelette in the morning!
There! **steps back to take a look** Not bad, for nothing to say...!
