The experiences and exploits of a college grad trying to make it in the "real world:" leaving school and friends in New England, moving south, and living with her boyfriend. Watch as I pretend to be an adult.
Lately I seem to alternate between being insanely annoyed one moment and fatalistically resigned the next. And, no, I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with the PMS I'm currently experiencing. Oh, for the love of christ, all my male readers can stop squirming in their seats and looking for the exit. Geez, you big fucking babies. Ahem. Er, moving on from that totally unrelated outburst... Work is causing part of it. I'm getting more and more annoyed with the senior management at my firm. They're either disingenuous, condescending, misleading, or a combination of all three. "Libby, I want to sit down with you and discuss this report for the fifth time, as I feel the need to micromanage everything you do...oh, what's that Head Honcho Alpha? Ah, yes, minion- er, Libby I mean, after having had you drop everything and rush to my side, I am going to leave and talk to HH Alpha, as she is much more busy and important than you. Oh, but we absolutely love the work you've been doing." "Libby, here is some internet research I want you to do, but after I explain what I want done three times in three different ways (causing you to want to bang your head against something large and solid), I'm going to ask you to send the first six (not five, not seven, six is the number, and to six shall ye count) results to me. I will then go over them, and reply 'Great!!!!!' or 'Good Job!!' to each one before giving you some more retardedly obvious tips in a separate email. Also, you know the database questions you had for me, and then followed up on with me when I didn't get back to you the first time? Well, I'm never going to say another word about them- have fun wasting your time doing things the long, ass-backwards way. Oh, but EXCELLENT job!" And so on, and so forth. Buuut, I think I've found a way to get around that. I've decided I'm going to try and work directly w/ the recruiters, and just bypass the whole supervisor thing. I don't have the patience to sit on my hands until work is assigned to me. I did research for two of the recruiters today, and talked to one of them about doing more for her in the future... so I'll let you guys know how it works out. In other arenas- Hillary v Condi in 2008? Seriously? Uh...I dunno. That'd be kinda cool, though. I'm hoping Cheney gets impeached, or resigns, and it goes without saying that I think Rove should be ass raped by wild monkeys. 'Cause they do that, you know.
