that’s the cold talkin’. Happily, I realized I had a new box Afrin in the cupboards, so I can breathe through my nose! Woohoo! It’s the little things…
When I have a cold, unfortunately, I can’t communicate for shit, and my comprehension rivals a distracted 6 year old. So yesterday at work was all sorts of fun. Trying to fill out a metrics package where corporate filled in all the WRONG data to begin with and then trying to get an answer out of anyone as to what they wanted simply did not go well. Someone looked at me when I asked, “Exactly what do you want with this?” (If I know what you want, I can get you what you want.) - “Are you an accountant??” Oh, fuck off you bitch. Don’t get started with me today, I’m trying to get your damn request filled and for some unknown reason I would like to do it right and I am having trouble with that - would you prefer I just not do it, since I am obviously not intelligent enough????
It didn’t help that the person who could have actually helped me without being a bitch about it was out for the weekend, so I was dealing with her assistant. Oh, no, wait - it’s “Assistant Manager”, as is **clearly** displayed in her email. Assistant manager of what, we have no idea.
The amazing part is where I actually got it returned to them by the deadline - pretty good considering that I couldn’t get anyone to give me the right numbers until around 3:00. I still think it was kind of a piece of crap that I cobbled together, but I did what I could - had another senior person look over it, she said it looked good enough to her and not to worry.
I’d rather I did better than “good enough” but given the circumstances, they’re lucky they got anything…
Wednesday: Call HR lady at Deltek and get update on status of things. Figure a week and a half since I last spoke to her is a good interval, and she did say to feel free to call whenever I wanted to.
