More about my job

Because I've been putting in 12-13 hour days at work, that's all I can think of, dream of, breathe and digest. While I am engaging in world war III level negotiations at work, I had to deal with one of the bigger morons in my company. I blind copied my friend on some exchanges with him that drove me up the wall. (Waving hi to said friend)

When my husband picked me up at the end of the day (that'd be 7pm), after a couple of beers, he says, "your friend emailed me and warned me about your email exchange with the moron in your company. So I went and had a couple of drinks first."

Ok, not entirely true story. I ended up calling my husband at 3pm and told him, "I'm having a bad day, don't pick me up after you finish work, go to happy hour. I'll call you when I'm done." My husband being a very obedient husband, in spite of it being Tuesday - went out to happy hour. Thankfully, he didn't even ask too many questions, because I was about ready to commit a crime if anyone got on my last nerve.

Which was just perfect so he could calmly listen to me venting and downloading all the events of the day.

Today, I drove on my own. I wasn't going to inconvenience my husband again. I got home at 9pm. I had a "wonderful" day. Absolutely freaking fantastic. I gave my boss a ride back to his car (40 minute drive) during which we both vented and decided how to fix this project that's heading downhill.

Actually, downhill is a very mild term. Let's just say that this morning the client came into my office and said, "I'm about to fire your company off this project!" At which point I picked up the phone to the boss and said, "get your ass out here!" (ok, not in these exact words, but he definitely got the message loud and clear and arrived within four hours).

Then we spent the rest of the day calmly planning the bright future of this project. Oh wait, no, that's not it. That's what I HOPED we'd be doing. No. Didn't happen that way. Instead, we spent the rest of the day putting out fires. It went from bad to worse in less than ten minutes!

Anything that COULD go wrong - went wrong. I think the only bright spot in my day was the fact that I actually did get to eat a sandwhich for lunch. Which is great, because I'm sitting and eating my dinner now (four slices of cheese).

Currently, we're about to send back another company employee back to the office (that'd be the third employee on this project sent away). Yesterday I got 80 emails, today I got 60. I didn't read any of them. I don't even know when I'll get to reading them and processing them. This project is only 10% of my job responsibilities, but has taken 140% of my time. The stress is killing me.

We sat with the client at 7pm devising a plan how to attack the future workload. My client is under the impression it's going to wind down. Funny, but she told me while I was in Israel that November we'll be winding down. Every time she tells me we'll be winding down, we're winding up. WTF!

Personal note to my friend: SS can shove the slides up his ass! Like I have fucking time to deal with him while the company is about to be fired off a project for poor management?!!!
