One of my clients got pissed off at the slow pace of their projects, and decided to bring in a 3rd party "project partner". Tomorrow I'm having a "conversation" with Senior Leadership Team. I have a real bad feeling I'm about to be scapegoated for the failures of the project team because the project team manager is besties with my manager. I hate this feeling so fucking much.
First class survived. Don’t think I made a tit of myself. Making friends seems unlikely though.
I guzzled the appropriate amount of water on Sunday and Monday, as my vein gushed a tad yesterday lol. First time 'round last year, the machine kept beeping because my pressure was low, because I didn't eat or drink enough.
This time, I filled that bag up quicksmart! Had a Nippy's Iced Coffee and some potato chips after. But yeah, now my elbow-pit is rather sore, I keep catastrophising and think it's still bleeding and I don't want to look, as it was when I changed the dressing yesterday (3 hours afterwards).
But! No complaints! Follow the directions and drink heaps of water!
Edit: actually, the only complaint is the bruise on my left middle finger from the haemoglobin test. I forget how much the tips of the fingers are used until one is sore 😅
Traffic was awful heading to my social sports training tonight, but had fun once I finally got there. Hadn’t been for a few weeks. There’s just some days I need to be around a group of people. Made the drive worth it.
Got off TAFE early today. Teacher had to pick up her kid from childcare cause they couldn't be arsed dealing with a three year old's tantrum. Some bullshit about the literal toddler posing a threat to other kids.
I was hoping to get more work done today. Guess I'm getting more units extended to next week.
Left my hat and water bottle at the office before field work and have been mega cranky and annoyed today. Not how I wanted my day to go at all, I was looking forward to field work. And the moving place I inquired with seems to have a non-working number, I missed their callback but when I call their number it keeps cutting off. Grrrrrrrrrrr. I am PEEVED!
Need to have a good shower and some feel good show for tonight.
E: I will say, going out has given me a lot more pep and energy in other ways now that I've hydrated and cooled off. I miss field work!!!! I need to make this more regular
Really bad end to the day even if it only lasted for 10-15 mins.
Not looking forward to seeing how the rest of the time goes until I go on break.
Hopefully the steps put in place for the future will prevent future altercations from occurring.
Nothing like dealing with someone who thinks the way to solve problems is to enact revenge and thinking that’s the right way of doing things.
I've started my shed cleanout. There is a lot of junk in there! And a lot of dirt ☹️ If anyone is in the market for a slightly rusty hand saw let me know, I seem to have lots of them! I'm not even sure why I have some of this stuff, I'm pretty sure someone has been sneaking in and stashing stuff when I'm not looking. Couldn't possibly have been me!
Day 2 of meal replacement done. ✅
Work from home all approved and I have a nice open ended task to spend half a day on. Things are going well
Oh man. My body hates me for trying to move around.
And Melbcat has another uti ;-;
Morning. I had a very vivid dream in which
I was running late to work
but had borrowed a car so was trying to do everything I needed a car for while I had it, so I'd gone to a library (that looked like a stereotypical posh US high school)... was cutting it fine and trying to fat-fingerly message my colleagues to please make me a coffee, but then just as I'm trying to drive off I find out the cat (I somehow own a skinny white one) has snuck into the car, and is now trying to escape... cue increasing panic as the wriggly thing keeps getting out (and some Indonesian kid passing by takes photos of it) and then runs all around the car once I've trapped it inside and I can't drive, and I see the "typing..." animation on the group chat and I realise it's time for everyone else to leave and I'm still not there...
... so I wake up groggily to check the time on the clock and FUCK it's 6:55am? I need to leave in ten!... only to grab my phone and see it's 6:05am... and here I am, adrenaline unnecessarily coursing through my system, resolutely staying in bed until i have to get up. 🥱 😴
So I have this art project I'm doing. omg, all the skills I need to learn to get it done. I suppose I could go very low tech and just hand write everything but I don't think that will work. There's the art skills/hand skills, like painting , composition and calligraphy, and then there's all the tech/computer skills of making the project ( it's a book ) I find the tech skills the most frustrating.
happily skills are forever and never wasted 🙂
Tea break
Shitty start to the work day with traffic being balls, but my boss gave me a slice of homemade biscoff cheesecake, so... swings and roundabouts.
Eh-oh ❤️
