I'm back to work today. It's not as bad as I predicted. It's worse.

Extra special feature: I just discovered, that the Warehouse Guy (my nemesis, and I'll probably get fired one day because of him) can't count to seven. No, seriously, he can't.

There was a delivery on Friday, one lousy pallet, with seven boxes on it. He counted six. SIX.
It's beyond me, how he could made such a mistake. And how he manages deliveries with 100+ pallets.

I'm beginning to understand why our stock is one, big discrepancy...

Finally made myself that Spike icon, that's been haunting me the whole week...:

And that's pretty much all I've accomplished this weekend. Still, not bad. At least I've opened Photoshop for a few minutes, when I could just lie on the couch, watching old episodes of Doctor Who, BSG and Buffy.

I've celebrated the first day of my freedom - went to see "Wall-E".
And loved it to pieces. Such a cute movie and now I want my own Wall=E =)

I also got myself a bottle of my favorite wine. Not easy to get in Poland and not so cheap, but what the hell. I deserve a treat every once in a while.

I'm making a batch of Shep icons. My "muse" is high on him for quite some time now (he's just so easy) so I'm going to use it.
Apart from it, I'm doing absolutely nothing. I'm on vacation, after all =)

I've got four days of freedom ahead of me! Yay!
To celebrate the fact, I've stayed in bed until almost 10 am. Just because I wasn't feeling like getting up =)

I'm really looking forward to spending some quality time with Photoshop. I've got few movies to watch.
I've got "Breaking Dawn" to finish (courtesy of the_muppet, who couldn't stand my whining and send me the book - you rock beyond words, hon!).

The only downside is today's dinner with my parents. Because I just know, that my mother will again start the "it's time you do something with your life" tirade. She thinks I should take an accountancy course. For some reason, she believes, then I'll be able to get better job, just with a snap of my fingers. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against accountants. Job like any other. But I really have no idea where all this came from, especially since she knows, I was always terrible at math. I also get that she means well and wants what's best for me. But why she feels offended, when I don't want the same thing? *sighs*

It's raining. I even heard a thunder just seconds ago. Don't ask me why, but it makes me feel good =)

My usual accomplice in creating a mayhem is not at work today.

I'm so bored.
So very, very bored.
So damn bored.

Guess I have come up with something myself...

Right now I'm singing. Not that anyone is that surprised. Most of people here think I've lost it some time go. *shrugs* Whatever.

Bored.

burningchaos's little horde needs new homes asap.

Take a look. Maybe you can help.

When I come home today, I found in my mailbox a card and a gift from the_muppet


( Look! )

Ain't it pretty ? :)

Thank you, hon. I really, really love it!

*hugs you a lot*

I've been on a sick leave for a few days now.

My back was bothering me so much that I finally went to the doctor on Tuesday. Turns out I have a spinal strain or something like this (no idea how it translates into English).
I'm grounded, not suppose to do anything strenuous. Not that I'm actually capable of it. It hurts to sit, it hurts to lay down. Thank God it's not that bad up when I'm up and walking.

I spend most of the time in bed or going for a short walks. I may try to go swimming on Saturday or Sunday, depending on how I feel.

All this free time let me read Twilight series in just few days. I've been squeeing and moaning to the_muppet through all my reading (but I don't feel guilty, it's totally her fault I'm slightly obsessed now *g*). I just finished Eclipse and I'm wondering what to do next with myself (since there's no more dazzling Edward to occupy me *g*)

Edit: this last sentence translates - please, find me something new to read. Please...

1.My usual bus showed up good few minutes earlier than it should and I just missed it. Had to wait almost 40 minutes for the next one, nothing to read, bored to tears. Funny thing is, any other day I could simply walk, because it's not really that far. But today I thought it would be a good idea to wear pretty high heels. So not the shoes to walk few miles in...

2.In the office, I found out that our beloved GM cut us off milk. She claims that since not everybody uses it, those who do, must bring it themselves. It's all because we are suppose to cut our expenses. And everybody knows, that 50 USD per month will make so much difference (what with our expenses being usually at 10,000)... And yes, I am being sarcastic.

3.I was at home for just two days and the amount of things that piled up during this time is just insane. There's like 50 new files on my desk + 100-something e-mails and everybody want everything now. I am trying to have more patience and not to snap at people all the time, but I'm slowly losing it again.

4.Big Bad Boss is arriving today afternoon, and we are expected to be "available". I wonder how long they are going to keep us here today...

5.There is no 5. I just don't like even numbers.

I'm pissed. I mean really, really pissed.

Quoting "The Siege" - they don't think they need us right up until the point that they need us, and then they need us.

We have a stocktaking scheduled for this weekend and the date has been set almost three weeks ago. And all this time GM was like "D. will take care of this and P. will prepare that".
Whatever input I was trying to make, it was usually shot down or twisted.

An today, well today I've heard that I am suppose to be the coordinator of the whole thing.

I wasn't even planning coming to work.

Now I have to start from scratch, beginning with creating 10-something teams (all the time remembering, that not everybody will work each day).

I need to split the warehouse into sectors.

I need to make sure that the stocks in systems are closed, as if it were the end of the month - by Thursday's evening.

I need to do million other things, but I'm so angry I can't even concentrate.

Most of all, I need to drop everything else, right now. And next week, the first thing I'm gonna hear, is :"How are those projects going?".

I know, I'm reacting too emotionally, but dammit.

I will do it, of course I will. I always do, I'm stupid like that. It's just, it would be nice to be treated like a valued employee. even if only every once in a while.
