Still The Bright Side

I’m really enjoying the new work schedule. I’ve been going at 6:30 every morning and by the time lunch rolls around most of the day is gone. Unfortunately, we’re still at that stage where we need to work ridiculously long and hard in order to make the stupid deadlines we’ve contracted. At least working this shift I can work 10.5 hours and still get out with some of my day left.

Or go to bed at 7:30 like I did last week. Whichever works.

I’m still pushing my “new attitude”. Coming in every day with the intention of having it be a good day. I don’t understand the people that come into work in a bad mood. Do you expect something to change that? And if you’re in a bad mood because of home, at least you’re not there, right?

I know. Or I don’t know, I should say. I don’t know what others are going through. They don’t know what I’m going through either, though. And I would much rather spend my 10 hours with people who are pleasant that with those who are surly.

Which is not to say that it didn’t cheese me when my boss sent back to back memos, the first stating he would be on vacation next week; the second asking if we could cancel any vacation we had planned because of the workload.

Yeah, Mr. Tool, you got it.
