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.

Current Mood: angry

With every passing hour, I'm more and more frustrated with what's happening at work.
I won't go into details (yet...), let's just say that I have serious issues with a boss, who's constantly trying to undermine my knowledge and questions everything I do.

And yes, I am starting to consider looking for a new job. Only I'm scared. 'Cos the last time I've tried this, it ended in a total disaster and I'm still paying for this (and I mean this literally).

Current Mood: frustrated

See, I don't get it. The corporation implements tons of new reports, requisitions and approval forms (one more idiotic than the other), that require using tons of actual paper, and still I receive e-mails with little words of wisdom like these:

Save a tree. Don't print this e-mail unless it's really necessary

For me - it's pure irony. Unintentional, and maybe this makes it even more ridiculous.

Environmental friendly my ass...

Current Mood: annoyed

I'm unusually cheerful this morning. No idea why - it's Monday, after all, plus I've already found several mistakes in March's production usages. Mistakes worth about 50,000 USD... And yet - still cheerful.

It may have something to do with the whipped cream cake I'm currently eating. *g*

But I'm prepared for the other shoe to drop. Any minute now...

Current Mood: cheerful

I've only worked three days this week, but I feel completely wiped out. Last two hours of work were total nightmare, I've been feeling like I've been working 20-hours straight. And yes, last two days I get up at 5 am, to be at work an hour earlier than usual, but it doesn't explain this kind of tiredness.

Current Mood: exhausted

I'm pretending to be working, today.
Well, not the whole time, but a lot.
I just can't make myself work as usual.
It's probably because I'm wearing really uncomfortable shirt today. Yup, definitely that's why.
So, instead I'm going through flist, which can be hard work in itself (last time I did it before Christmas, so, yeah...).

On other news - "Medium" is back. Which means fresh David Cubitt cuteness each week. Yay!

Current Mood: bitchy

I thought I will return to more human working hours, when I finish with the year's end.

Oh, how wrong I was...

Another 15 hours marathon, and still I'm not done yet. But I'm not really surprised, what with the new system we are using. The problems keep popping up, just when I think I'm really close to finish. Still, I've done an enormous job (with great help from few of my colleagues) and I think I can be pretty proud of myself.
Luckily, I can wrap it up on January 2nd.

I plan to spend next two days in bed, with soothing compresses on my eyes, doing absolutely nothing.
I don't think I will come anywhere near the computer, so - have a great time on New Year's Eve parties (yup, I'll be in my bed *g*) and all the best for 2008.

*big hugs*

Current Mood: accomplished

New record yesterday -15 hours at work. Although I may beat it today. People are asking if I started to sleep there.

Current Mood: exhausted

Back to work.

And I really, really, really don't want to go... :-(

Current Mood: pessimistic

Still at work.
Can you spell *furious*?...

Current Mood: cranky

13 hours in work... I wouldn't mind it that much if I had spent them actually working. But half of this time I was listening to my boss repeating himself, for the umpteenth time, how important it is to get everything done by the end of the week.
I'm so pissed off, because now I'm actually more and more behind.
I have no idea how I will do everything I'm supposed to do by Friday. Especially since every day brings new things that have to be done.

Current Mood: exhausted

I haven't even finished my first coffee today and I already wish it was a Monday a week from now.
Or even better - two weeks.

Current Mood: drained

Had pretty weird dreams this night, again. Woke up around 5:20. Shep was sleeping, curled somewhere around my middle, totally unmoved by all the tossing (I sometimes think he could sleep through a close-up explosion, when he chooses so).
Of course, by now I forgot what the dreams were about, except that they were of some new variety. Definitely new, with lots of people in them.
Still, I feel kinda uneasy and even hours of going through the numbers from Cracow stock taking, didn't dull me .
I was planning on watching "Resident Evil 3" later today - I wonder if this might help...

Under the cut, because it's very long, very hysterical (and not in a good way), and very work-related. You have been warned.

( There's a lot of swearing, too )

Current Mood: frustrated

I'm going to Cracow for a couple of days. Business, so I'm not expecting much fun.
On the contrary, actually.
We are closing my company's division there and local MD hates our guts. He run this place like an emperor. Wasn't used to any control, so it was total blow for him, when he had to move all accountancy to Warsaw in January. Because this meant he could no longer cheat. And cheating he was, oh my... But he's good enough not to leave any actual evidence. But the paperwork is/was missing or months late or none at all.
So it's not gonna be easy and it's not gonna be pretty. War might me an accurate word.
Fortunately, we have pretty friendly suppliers and some of them I already know. I hope they'll help me with things I won't be able to learn / find out in Cracow.
I have to get up at an ungodly 4-something a.m, because my boss decided we go by cars.
It was snowing all day (wet snow, that melted instantly) and I've heard it's even worse down south. I hope my driver remembered to change the tires to winter ones (I forgot to ask him, and now it's too late, damn, it's gonna be funny if he didn't).

Off to pack warm clothes and play with Shep. Poor thing, I never left him for so long before. Hope he's gonna be ok.

Sorry about last entry. I guess my brain finally overloaded (with my body close behind.).
The weekend helped a bit, although I'm not even close to feel actually rested.
I plan working only three days this week, so maybe after four days off I'll actually start to feel better (not that I have much hope).
Oh, and I plan to as my boss for a rise... (not that I have much hope about it, either).

On the side note - "Travelers" sucked, big time. So much so, I'm not going to waste time explaining why.

Sweet dreams, to those who can sleep.

And I have a distant feeling I overuse word "actually"...

If I didn't have a calendar, I wouldn't be able to say what day of the week is this. Today I actually argued with someone that it's Tuesday...
I'm really fed up. I'm working for three, get paid for one and the boss actually thinks it's ok. We are so understaffed, it's not even funny anymore.
I haven't read anything for weeks*. If I try to watch something, I usually fall asleep withing 15 minutes or zone out and don't know what's happening on screen.
Cat feels totally neglected and he's pretty loud about it.
And my throat feels funny. Maybe I caught the infection from my colleague, before I kicked her out to be sick at home?
I'm gonna take a long, hot bath, with lots of bubbles. At least my muscles will feel better.

*Except for 1/3 of „Happiness^TM”, but I was on the bus, so it doesn't count. Besides I don't really like it that much.

Current Mood: exhausted

I've ~~spent~~ wasted the whole day on a meeting, that was as interesting and had so much meaning, as listening to someone reading a phone book. I'm pissed off, because I have loads to do (I'm working for three people at the moment) and I don't know when I'll be able to catch up.
I came home so wiped out, with my mind so blank, I don't know what to do with myself.
I've canceled a meeting with my friend (I love her, she understands, although she made me come over tomorrow, so we can get drunk and try to get all bad stuff out of our systems) .
Watched new Supernatural instead, and it was supposed to be a treat, but really wasn't. I couldn't care less for what was happening.
It's way too early to go to bed (if I do, I'll wake up around 2 am and it's not fun).
I have a distinct feeling that there is something I'd like to do know, but I have no idea what this could be.

Current Mood: blank

So, after a week from hell, a marathon of working 14-16 hours a day, I'm finally free. At least for a two weeks.
Not that they won't call. They always do, even when I'm away for a couple of days. Comes with a territory (aka being one person department). There's only so much you can delegate.
Still, I hope I'll finally be able to catch my breath. And maybe some sleep, if heavens allow.
