Umm.. but not in a good way.
I had my usual Venti Soy Tazo Chai in the morning (with its delicious 350 calories) and… then.. .. I kind.. of …didn’t eat for the rest of the day until 6 p.m.
No excuse. I know.
But I was seriously running my butt off trying to get things fixed around here.
I have a new resolve on this.
If the customers don’t get their orders in, their shipments, their whatevers, then I DON’T CARE because this company should feel the total wrath of what their disorganization, planning and what their total lack of responsibility is going to cost them.
Not only in the crazy overtime I’m billing, or the higher rates I’m asking for – but in lost sales, mad customers, lost deliveries, paying fines at the border for shipping stuff, whatever.
It is NOT my problem.
And I should NOT be killing myself in my health, loss of sleep and stress (I almost lost my temper at a guy all over a guy on the phone today) just for a company that has no idea how to plan a f*cking project.
(NOTE: I know it’s hard to believe with the way I write sometimes, but in the workplace, I am usually pretty composed and unstressed. Sometimes a bit too forceful/demanding but I usually try to keep that in check because it is NOT the people’s fault that they were not trained properly on it.TOTALLY not their fault and I should not be taking it out on them, and I keep telling them that it’s not their fault at all, it’s the way the project was done on such a short time frame.)
I am done with running myself ragged.
I will try to get out as much as possible and help as much as possible, but being there at 6 a.m. in the morning and not getting to leave until 5 p.m. where I stumble into a restaurant to eat at 6 p.m. because I haven’t even had anything all day is totally unacceptable.
This company is not worth it, and I am totally getting caught up (emotionally) in really wanting them to WORK and do their jobs CORRECTLY in the system, but it’s just so damn hard…
I’m just going to take it one issue at a time. And if I get stopped, then so be it – I get stopped and I move on to the next thing and take it easy.
Why the hell am I working so fast?
The good thing about all of that is what I got as takeout.
Ummm I should note that Sashimi and rice missing because I ….ate it before I realized that I didn’t take a picture. But I had another meal along with this, so not to worry, am NOT starving self.
And the lady was so sweet she packed me a hell of a lot of fruit because she said I looked like I needed it.
Huh.
Things are getting better. One Venti Starbucks a day, and one at night if I can swing it – if not, I just forego it.
Now I’m just really craving a piece of chocolate.
(I am just so happy I thought ahead of time and stashed some Smarties in my bag as emergency……)
