I am almost through week four of five and a half week class session for schoo, and I can’t wait for it to be over. Theory and development of form is turning out to be a boring class for me and I don’t understand why it would be a required class for my degree program, but I continue on the journey. I personally can’t wait for the class to be over.
Today at work was a tough day for me, I want to cry and quit. I had a phone teleconference and my supervisor made a comment directed at me that was totally unprofessional and uncalled for. It put me in a foul mood the rest of the day. On Monday, my director called an impromptu meeting and asked if there was anyone in my department interested in extending their exit day past the end of March, but after today, I don’t know if I could last much longer. People in my department are getting more defensive and insecure and the days grow shorter. I deal with stupid, incompetent people directly and it upsets me that they waste my time with stupid changes to art and copy for days, and then change it back – they really don’t know what they are doing. Unfortunately for them, they have a rude awakening when they will also be unemployed and are looking for employment. Giggling and gossiping aren’t going to get them in the positions that they currently have. I can’t wait. I know that sound vindictive, but it is true and I am sure that everyone has that person or group that are just a bunch of ding bats, it drives me nuts. The environment that I am in is very cliquish. If you aren’t twenty something and go out drinking with the group, you are not respected and you get talked down to like you are no one important. I have much more experience than these bimbos.
Tonight a friend of mine called and asked me to help them update their home to put up for sale. I was tickled pink that they asked me to help them. They are getting married in a few months and want me to update and get the home ready for both of them to live in it so it’s neither his or hers, but theirs. With the real estate market the way it is, they are anticipating living in the house for a year before they buy a new home together.
I guess the honor of my friends asking for my opinion and giving me the opportunity to play interior designer will be fun. I guess every day can bring something positive that is unexpected and turn the negativity of a destructive work day to an end. Tomorrow, who knows what that will bring.
