Whereupon I bitch

[shutthef_up]

With no new Stargates being broadcast, I didn't even turn on the television tonight. Okay, that's not entirely true, I did watch an episode of Atlantis on DVD. With commentary. My dad's coming down on Sunday and since it's supposed to be 100 degrees that day, we'll just have a little marathon of the eps I have on Tivo

I got my beatin' stick ready. :)

*hugs*

[shutthef_up]

LOL!

After you and katcorvi visit my place of work, I'll saddle up for a visit to yours ;)

Thanks! It helps to know I have friends who feel for me.

LJ did a weird thing. When I tried to post this entry, it just ground away like it was going to fail, so I just walked away. Then my computer rebooted overnight.

And VOILA! It somehow posted itself. Unflocked... DER! Ah well, I'm not going to sweat it. It's not like I named names or anything.

Flame throwers have been bought.

Is your resume dusted off? Bcse I think it should be.

[shutthef_up]

Flamethrowers make such a fabulous impression. Everyone knows you're serious bizness when you have one of those babies!

Resume is in good shape. I'll probably spend a little time over on Monster.com this week. The sort of knarly thing about it is about 98% of the jobs in this biz are placed through the agency that placed me here. I'm not anxious to tip my hand and the best recruiter is good friends with my Manager. I definately want to stay in this field and industry because of the benefits.

Also, I suspect that another shoe's going to fall and I need to see how that plays out first. I alternately love and hate this company. Right now it's hate.

What katcorvi said. "working every day" does not equal "vacation".

And I thwap them all with a large fish on your behalf.

[shutthef_up]

Oh, a large fish is great! Maybe it'll knock some sense into their heads!

If I knew for a fact that there was a plan to get me some backup, I could soldier on for a while more. Not entirely happy about it, but counting the days. As of now, I don't have that reassurance.

I also hold out a tiny ray of hope that New Guy (who's actually not new, just transferring to our dept) will speak up on my behalf. He's been supporting me from another side of things and has been appalled on my behalf when I've mentioned having to do this while sick at home or on a day off. I totally adore him and I'm thrilled to have earned a measure of his respect. He's senior enough and a strong enough personality to say, "No, this isn't right. You can't ask her to do this."

So yeah, I'm pissed and flying off the handle about it, but I'm not sure that the Large Woman has sung yet.

[redbyrd_sgfic]

I am thoroughly indebted to eruthros for the fish icon and the whole concept of fish-thwapping.

And certainly having senior people on your side and helping stand up for you can't hurt.

How badly does your current company care about keeping you? If you thought they'd be upset to lose you, you could try wearing nice clothes in a couple of times, and on those days, go out for lunch. *g*

[shutthef_up]

Oh, what an excellent idea! I may have to try that! We've lost a lot of people lately, so I suspect they'd notice.

[splash_the_cat]

You are totally being taken advantage of. Man that sucks.

[shutthef_up]

Yeah, it does. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

It's really just insane. I'm hoping someone thinks about this while I'm gone. Not holding my breath though.

[moonshayde]

*pats* I miss the Gates too.

Maybe you could unwind and lose yourself in fic. or porn. I'd write you some Daniel related porn, but then I'd make you cry or want to kill yourself. Either way, I don't think that would be very productive.

[shutthef_up]

Oh, I doubt it would make me cry or suicidal!

Now that I have a couple personal things out of the way, I'm hoping to wrote some stuff myself. Could be porn ;)

LOL! I just realized that I initially typed 'make porn'... which, no. Sadly I will not be making any porn, just writing it.
