Today I feel like pound sign, question mark, star, exclamation point
I'm pretty sure it's just my period hormones talking, but today I feel like ripping somebody's head off. Weird, because yesterday was awesome and this morning was pretty good too. Did an awesome yoga workout and was actually ready to leave for work 10 minutes early! Got a bunch of compliments on my awesome new cupcake necklace, too. Then, we had our Monday morning full staff meeting, and it was pretty much all downhill from there.
Now, I know I complain about my boss a lot. I expect that I will always complain about my boss. However, Jackie just talks to hear herself speak. At the meeting, we talk about company priorities and give a brief overview of what we're working on so everybody knows what's going on and so that we have a better idea of each other's workloads.
John wasn't there last week (he was traveling), so naturally, he was asking everybody questions to get clarification and make sure he understood what he was being told. Normally, if I ask someone a question, I expect THEM to answer it, not somebody else - especially if that somebody else has nothing to do with the situation being discussed.
This happened to me in the meeting (and also my coworker Steph), then happened again (multiple times, if we're being technical) when I was working with another coworker, Jun, on something different. Again, something that Jackie had no idea about. I just ignored her and then re-asked my question, but holy shit is it fucking annoying. It's even worse because John calls her out on it EVERY.TIME and she always has some excuse. If we're working on something together and you're able to better answer the question than I am, fine. If you have no idea what you're talking about, for god's sake, shut the fuck up!
It's gotten a little better since I came home, but basically, this was my entire work day in a nutshell. Hopefully chocolate and being left the fuck alone will make me feel better.
