countdown
Earlier today my boss came into my office and was trying to talk to me about creating some survey generator program that HIS boss promised to some people in the department. Apparently it is going to look bad on me and my boss if we don't deliver this product. And I was never really even told about it, except that it was an idea they had and should be incorporated into the long term plan. There was no due date or specifications given or anything like that. This is the sort of stuff about my job that really just irritates the heck out of me.
Just like yesterday when I received an "urgent" email saying that, oh my god, shock horror, the logins are not working on a specific page that is not even hiding any private information that is actually worth hiding. Oh and this is a federal case and must be dealt with immediately and why haven't you done it yet because aren't you my personal slave who only does things for me?? And then today when I respond it's like "oops, false alarm, our mistake, it's working fine." Yes, you are a moron. And also, I do things like this for 40 other people around here so I can not always respond immediately. And thirdly, can't a girl be out sick? (The fact that I was not actually sick is irrelevant, work thought I was sick and that is all that matters.)
At this time I am just thinking "who gives a damn about all this crap? I am leaving soon!" It's so hard to force myself to do any work at all or care about the future of this project or department in general. I just wish I could leave sooner. My level of caring about this job is so low it's dropping into negative amounts. Only 11 more months till I can quit!
