Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

My on-again, off-again project is OFF again.

My boss said - "Well if they want to pay us to sit around and write presentations, I think we should let them."

I'd just be happy to have ONE accomplishment for 2006, instead of "I tried for 12 months to implement something, but you all wouldn't get off your duffs and make a decision"

Back to "committee" :

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I guess I'll have more time for Santa Worm.

And I get to be the second in command Privacy Officer, so I guess that's something too.

I'm just really pissed off about it all now.

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

My boss told me at 3:45. After I swore a very loud blue streak and she told me to calm down, I suggested the closest bar.

She did not disagree.

Bottom line is that we have "approval" to go forward. But we've spent 12 F-ING MONTHS getting approval...and the "approval" is to form a committee to develop a plan.

We have a plan. A damn GOOD plan. And it will take more time to get the committee (all the execs jumped on the bandwagon and said "What a great idea! We want to be a part of figuring out how to implement this!") to meet than it would to implement the really good plan we already have.

I'm just disgusted. I shouldn't be, but it's just silly. Someone should have stood up and said "There already is a plan. Here's how you (Ms. Roadblock) can help implement it."

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I suppose making new nametags for their offices with their corresponding Dilbrt characters would be frowned upon?

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Suddenly I'm feeling better about going into work on my night off because my coworker is ailing. Again. At least I have the possibility of getting a new coworker before the year is out.

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I feel a little like Johnny Depp.

rum is good. what happened to all the rum? why is all the rum gone?

I'm still pretty pissed off. Dan's first comment was "well, why didn't you get it approved 12 months ago?" before I turned him into a char-broiled burger with my eyes. Then he got sympathetic.

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

muhwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I've know this for a few days but was sworn to secrecy. The Project From Hell and Back is being moved to another organization. I don't have to move with it.

I hated it anyway, and the on-again, off-again aspect just made it worse. Now it's officially NOT MY PROBLEM.

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I'm dancing' in the aisles. No stupid noisy co-workers (they moved on Monday) and no stupid project.

'Course, now I have nothing to do. Well, I do, but it's not enough to keep my very busy.

Re ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

LOL, I have been doing up some designs for a challenge I entered. You have to do one piece EVERY WEEK on topic (or at least you are supposed to be on topic...1/2 of the people don't though, and I have a sneaking suspicion some of them are just pulling old pieces out to show off, as opposed to doing something new every week, which is supposed to help you improve your skills...whatever...I will do it the right way. ) This is week 2 and I've been stumped by the theme (Kisses in the Mist...how stupid is that???) but I think I have something.

And I have a communication to write up for the Daylight Saving Time change this year. But that will take me, like, 3 minutes tops. Did you all know that DST changes this year and is earlier??
