I don't get it.
So, a few thoughts on work, and Eri... create an account dammit. I can't write here what I'd write in a protected post, and you can't read a protected post without logging in. =P
About work... So, apparently of the people that applied for the recent supervisory opening, only two people will be interviewing. (No, I'm not one of them.) Funny, both are leads... hmm. Well, a lead opening will come about, maybe I can make that position. *rolls eyes* At least I know who I want to get the promotion of the two of them. Now, why I find this horribly funny is because of what I just finished doing. (On my fucking day off, no less.)
One of my auxiliary duties for my employer involves the training of new people. Apparently, someone is having some problems at a sister workplace. It happens from time to time. The People Above wanted to get an outside opinion about this someone... and I'm about as outside as you can get and still be in the same hierarchy. So, being a swinging and flexible kind of guy, I worked about 13.5 hours on Saturday to do my normal shift and work with this other someone at another place. I just finished typing up my observations as a report to one of the People Above.
I have a horrible suspicion that they're going to use my observations to make a personnel decision, which is not the function I'm supposed to do. In fact, such decisions are the responsibility of... yep, supervisors and managers. Which I should be getting a letter telling me I'm not qualified to do. And there are other factors that I can't go into, but it just depresses me. Not the not making promotion crap, the possibility that I just became a hatchetman. (Yes, keep in mind I'm the same person that once told my second grade teacher I want to be an assassin when I grow up.)
There is of course anxiety about my report, as well... how it will be percieved by those Above, since they were deliberately vague on what I was supposed to be doing and what they were expecting.
And my lovely ivyriver is out "blowing shit up"... without me. :/ For a couple of weeks, at least.
To be inclusive of my day, I did see my physical therapist today. This is my regime for the next three weeks (if it doesn't kill me).
3xweek - stationary bicycle starting at 7mins and building to 20.
5x week - 3 sets of 20 hip rolls, 3 sets of 20 "single knee to chest" with 3sec hold, 3 sets of 20 bridges with 3sec hold, and "F-15s" or back extensions starting at 3 sets of 10, and working to 3 sets of 20.
The PT is to stabilize my back and get my knees and hips loose and moving. Evidently swishing synovial fluid around your cartlidge is very good for your knee health. Maybe that's why popping my knees sometimes helps? Hmm. I've got another appointment in 3 weeks to see how things are going. Evidently my back is where the PT guy says I need the most work, to stabilize that disk.
