Next?

Busy day. Too busy. Actually, it’s my own fault that it went south; I had a 3 hour block in the morning that I unwisely decided to fritter away on the interweb. Then it all hit the fan. My project was to make a timeline that will be given to our highest ranking new students. I did that. My new boss asked to have me submit the draft to her instead of the team, for her consideration. She turned it into something I would NEVER submit to anyone, much less all the higher-ups. I was lamenting this fact to my former supervisor who stated that all of our publications went through an iterative process, and that my boss would have a better grasp of what is being asked of us, and that she would present and defend it to the group. It made me feel much better. One hour later I was told to fwd the draft to the bigwig group and ask if any changes were needed. !!!!!!!!! FUCK ME! Sighh….

I just got promoted and am newly supervising 2 staff members. The problem is that our office has a vacation policy whereby we have to submit vacation requests before the semester begins, and both of my coworkers have had time approved by their previous supervisors, which just all around sucks for me. They both have the entire week of Thanksgiving off, which puts me in the hot seat. The extra $400 per month is NOT cushioning the daily shit I’m getting knocked around with.

Tonight I’m off to meet my friend Ed for dinner and wine. He just got back from a cruise and I’m off to hear all about it. OH, and one of my web hotties gave me a call and I’m not sure whether or not to call him back tonight. I’m just tired and don’t think I’d be in a good frame of mind to meet someone new. We’ll see…
