I was ready to go back to work yesterday, to get out of the house (in-laws have been staying with us for 2 weeks so far, 1 week to go) and do something more mentally stimulating.

But this morning? I cursed my stupidity in setting the alarm 30 minutes too early, and my lack of recent practice in not being able to fall back to sleep for those precious 30 extra minutes. Damn me.... Of course one of the dogs decided an early wakeup call sounded awesome too. Thanks.

And I've attempted to be so productive today. I really have. But... I'm out of practice with that too.

I'm ready to go home now. But I'll wait 6ish hours instead, I suppose.

I had to be up extra early since DH's car is in the shop. Headed into to work to find the copy machine wasn't shut down properly and told to fix it, other computers offline and told to fix it, and heard complaints when I couldn't fix any of it and had to call in the actual techs. Of course, I was already on vacation when the shut down the office for the holiday! They also keep forgetting I'm not actually an IT type but an Environmental Auditor type. So glad to be home now.

I wasn't supposed to come into the office today, but I had a meeting.

Said meeting ended up lasting about 10 minutes. Now I'm just killing time on the interwebz.

I love my job, and I'm very passionate about it, but just like any other job, some days (like today) I just don't feel like going. Probably because it's Wednesday, and that's one of the days I have to teach right after I leave work. Damn, I'm going to be tired.

I was gonna cyber-slap all of you and give you the "Be happy you even have a job in this economy, you forget those who are unemployed and wish they weren't" speech. But you've been spared, I got a job offer this evening--they really liked my interview and want me to start tomorrow.

Let the whining commence.

The irony is, I like my job. I like being at my job, most of the time. I don't like getting there. If I could work from home or had a very short commute, I'd deal with it better. The 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot to the building in the frigid cold doesn't help. If we could wear jeans and tennis shoes, I'd like my job even more..lol.

Well, with the past 2 jobs I had before this, I don't complain at all.

Nice pay.

Nice(ish) people.

Nice hours and commute.

Nope.

But I won't have any GCers trying to slap me...hehehe!

You all need to get off your lazy asses and work, clean the trash from your yards, and take care of your kids.

I refuse, RE freaking FUSE, to go through this shit with the supervisor assigned to me again. Yesterday she tried to insinuate that I was behind on my cases. Funny when I left I was current to this month. Even though she tried to claim that I had November cases in my "To Do" pile. So imagine her shock when I carried all 20 of my December cases and 2 November cases to her desk and asked her to point out the other Nov. cases she'd "found". Uh huh, thought so. BUSTED! AGAIN! Shut the hell up, worry about your own now 2 months overdue cases and leave me the hell alone.

Come on new job.
