So people have asked me in the past month or so how work is going....and surprisingly it's been going well. It's been quite fun actually, not too bad. Pretty laid back and nice. I really thought God just gave me better eyes for the situation, but turns out...well, God still has helped me in dealing with these people, but I am learning that they were nicer in the summer.
Cranky pants was all happy-go-lucky in the summer, nice to people, letting people leave early, and people were of course on vacations here and there. It was a fun atmosphere. We had a great summer outing and I thought "wow, these people could alright" my boss and I get along really well and I've had lunch now a couple times with the Bulgarian too - and she is super entertaining to me. the office jerk has been a little less jerky, but then, come to think of it today, projects have changed and I haven't really had to work with him at all like before.
Basically, the moral of this story is, we're back from Labor Day. I was told at the end of last week that things would get super busy and "back" to the grind after the holiday. Well, they weren't joking. I don't think, though, it's that a switch flipped in the workload between last week and Tuesday of this week, but a switch flipped in Cranky Pant's brain that now affects the whole office.
He is reminding me how he earned his name.
Oh silly me!
I'm not sure though that I'm up for the task of teaching these people that you can work hard and be busy and still be HUMAN and DECENT, dare I say NICE to other people.
I just keep saying I'm not going to let them still my joy, but I'm pretty sure it happened today. there may have been some F-bombs dropped.
I just don't think the place has to be miserable because people are busy and on deadlines. i think that is stupid and bullshit.
these people are just chasing big money though, that must not be a great thing to be after in life, success in life. I wonder what their reward is for dying with the most amount of money.
Do you think they know that they can't take it with them??
Maybe some of them think they'll be able to afford body freezing and to come alive and spend their money in another life??
though, not sure why they would want to, some of them act a lot of times like life sucks so much anyways.
whatever.
I need to rebuild my wall so then i am immune to ridiculousness a little more.
