where whining happens
So today included:
a) a car accident - I'm unhurt, but was the front car in a four car pile up (caused by the last car, who collided with the car in front of him and pushed the other three cars into each other). After an hour in the (oh god HOT) sun talking to the other drivers and the police, I was of course late to work. My car's a little bruised and unfortunately I will be spending tomorrow at the shop, FUN.
b) a meeting with HR to discuss my future in the company - nothing is decided, I've basically asked them to let me know whenever a different position becomes available since so say I'm stagnating is an understatement. It wasn't a bad conversation, nor a good one, but coming in was stressful.
c) spending about 5% of my time on work and 95% helping the new guys and dealing with other people's tasks, because I'm not only the one with the most experience at the moment but nearly the only one with experience, now that a whole bunch of people are abroad.
d) therefore am still at the office now, at 9PM on a Thursday, so that's fun
e) in the outside world that is not me-centric, a man stabbed six people at the Pride Parade in Jerusalem, so my mood is even less improved
Bottom line: today was really, really not a good day.
GOOD THINGS ABOUT TODAY include:
a) I wore a dress to work and enjoyed it a lot
b) the day began with a hockey fic that I was really looking forward to being posted, and it did not disappoint
c) obviously, important to keep in mind, my health
d) also I had a good veggie-burger? My surprising discovery as of very recently is that a lot of veggie burgers are actually really good, esp with mushroom and onions toppings, who knew.
Tonight I will (at some point) get home, finish reading the SGA fic, and do some more London planning. Since last time it was accidentally under a cut, whoops, have yet another reminder that I'll be in London in three weeks and would love to see any of you there!
