Okay, I'm going to vent and ramble here for a few minutes, so you all might want to ignore this part. I'll let you know if I come up with anything better.
I give up. I do not know why they put me in this position at work, because I really don't know what I'm doing, and they just expect it to come by osmosis apparently. Ugh. I don't know what I'm doing, and I'd gladly start trying things, but I'm afraid I'll only exacerbate the situation! Which is exactly what I don't feel like doing with one of our most high-profile accounts. Seriously, aside from that one particular account, today was a great day! My four hour training class was shrunk down to one hour, and I could've gone home early like my managers suggested, but no. Because my stupid account was having a seizure and I was trying to figure exactly how to fix it. And all I seemed to come up with was that I could spend an hour fixing a problem that wasn't really my problem, and would probably require more work later, or I could wait. Wait until tomorrow.
Seems like a viable solution, right? WRONG.
Because tomorrow I get to be in training AGAIN from for my whole work day plus two hours. So I'm thinking I'll have to get into work tomorrow an hour early (that's 5 in the AM, joy) to try and get ahead on my regular work AND get this stupid problem ironed out before I go to training. Which I can't reschedule of course. *facepalm* And I'm depending way too much on my old manager who doesn't work with us anymore, and really shouldn't have to do any of this, but I'm so scared of screwing something up that I don't know what to do, other than pray things work themselves out, January gets here early, and I can get a job working for my old manager Jennifer in her department.
Ugh, shoot me. Please. Anybody.
Um, other news, Nano returns in a few weeks, and I'm going to put in some effort. If work doesn't kill me first. I'm thinking about doing a series of short stories with a common element, possibly with a resolution as the final story. I need to start making notes, and decide how much I want to use. I need to build an army...well, actually I think it's more of a police force. Dude, I need to build a posse. I love building posses! Every good story should have a posse! I'm working my way through my book club book, "The Geography of Bliss" which I love so far. The writer cracks me up. My Halloween shopping has been rather uninspiring lately. The best I've seen is cool socks, which helps me not. I already HAVE cool socks, and frankly I don't need any more...but I may acquire some anyway. What I really need is a sassy black skirt. How hard can that be to find in fall around Halloween?! Oy.
Otherwise, not a whole lot. People are very intent upon protecting me from myself these days, mostly without my approval. It seems being an adult doesn't really mean much sometimes. Got my hair cut and that makes me very happy. No more getting out of the shower feeling like I've got stuff all over my neck. And tonight I get to hang with a friend and hopefully unwind a little bit, before I decided to wrench myself out of bed tomorrow at an even less-godly hour than the ungodly hour when I normally get up. And Saturday I need to remember how to be smart again, and that I have a degree in writing intelligent stuff. I feel like writing in general. Ugh, just not enough hours in the day.
More Katy Perry. That is all.
