3705: Stumped
I was convinced that a stack of important reports I spent nearly a month compiling disappeared with PHB--from a pissy knockdown into the recycle bin, for instance--but Mickey assures me they were hovering over her the whole time and didn't even let her clean out her desk other than logging out of her compy and taking her more obvious personal items [purse, photos].
So................. wheredidtheygo? =| SO BAFFLING.
They MUST be there somewhere, though, even if not where I was used to them being. It's just awkward to search when Mumble's working there [I know I'd feel awkward in his position] besides that my job has shifted so far away from what PHB had me doing that I just don't have the time to look. Today I underestimated how much time it would take me to do just the core parts of my job that the To Do list that's been stacking up is now so stacked that I may as well throw it out and start over. [Basically, a long-running list of accounts that need skipped invoices sent, but this is now so solidly in the jurisdiction of Mickey, Mrs. Fris, and Mumble that I'm not really sure why I bother anymore.]
The good news is this week I've used a FIFTH of the paper I used to use! X/ All that shit she made me copy only to have her ignore it, to fucking waste.
Mickey suggests I may be doing things differently in the future as it is, after Usurper has this meeting with me that I suppose she's supposed to have about what it is I do. [Incidentally, though Usurper said, quote, "I have just terminated [PHB], she wasn't bringing in the numbers we wanted..." I think it was actually Pumpkin who did it... and I'll never remember that that's what I called her, so "Germy" it is.]
I imagine I will run heavily into overtime this week. Credit card reports have been HUGE since, apparently, $$$$$.¢¢ worth of charges that were supposed to be made HAD NOT BEEN DONE X( and yet, so much more is getting done now, despite Mumble's newness and [I think, though I don't mean to jinx it] impropriety for the post.
But see what happens when people do the work that's there instead of talking to their high school kids every coupla hours? |=p
The disgusting thing is I described the situation [rather loosely] to Mum, and she's convinced that, since they were let go at the same time, Boomer and PHB must have done "something" together.
...*HURL*
No, really--I know PHB looks like a dirty tramp, but... EEW. DX Didn't need that mental image. In retrospect, though, I think PHB only lasted longer because she was out of office starting the day they dumped Boomer--and I guess she was included on the conference call because they didn't want to drop the second bomb on us then.
On an odd note, I have been so remiss in eating lunch at work that I barely notice we don't have much left I could take in anyway. [No freezer, or I'd have several options.]
I don't know why I'm bothering to write this all out, though. It'd better be served kept to myself for possible future book reference material... except I'd forget it all like I've ACTUALLY forgotten all but the most infuriating elements of retail. Hrm. Well, you can read if you like, that's the option I like to reiterate.
[Speaking of book, I'm aggravated at the chapter lengths I'm working on--I can't make them about even no matter how I edit. Shouldn't matter, but somehow it's irritating AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. BUUUU]
