It's Thursday!

But it's my Friday!!! *twirls*

Tomorrow the kids leave for about 10 days, so I'm going to snag some more time with them and then get some me time in. The rest of the 10 days is still unplanned.

Today I am in training for our new software package at work. It's pretty simple so far.

Tell me all of the things!

Im in a grumpy mood because of work again. Just more of the bullshit I've been putting up with for years, so there's nothing new, but some days it frustrates me more than others. I'm also just exhausted. Constantly exhausted right now. I need to be able to sleep in at least one day this weekend. I also got a chair massage and felt a little better last night, but this morning I'm tense all over again. Being one of only two, when there are supposed to be 4 in our position (there have been 3, we're hiring a fourth) is starting to really wear me out.

In good news, today is my dad's birthday and he should be getting a pretty bouquet of yellow flowers delivered soonish. And tonight I have dinner with friends.

It's my Friday, too! Although I will probably WFH a bit this weekend, as usual.

I'm going out to lunch with my mentor today, so I'm looking forward to that.

DH's work is supposed to move to a new office that's an open office floor plan, and he's LIVID. I don't get it. I mean, I would prefer not to be in an open office, but he actually threatened (to his manager) to quit over it. And he's normally very laid-back at work, so this is very out of character.

udscoobychick, I wouldn't go so far as quitting, but I'm with your H. We moved to the damn open office/hoteling plan 2 years ago. Thank goodness I became a WFH employee right before that, because just going in once a week is too much for me. I just want to be able to get on a conference call without apologizing for all the noise and talking in the background, because it is THAT loud at all times. I don't get anything done on office days.

tiramisu I feel you on the work exhaustion. I desperately need to step away and recharge, but taking a few days off just creates more work when I get back, so....

cuddlyevil yay! Enjoy your time to yourself!

I'm absolutely burned out from work. My colleagues are stepping in to help me with some of the administrative tasks that I haven't gotten to in weeks (I am so far behind in reporting), and I actually teared up in gratitude while thanking them by phone. LOL. I really do love my team, and I really do hate the busy work that our new management team has bestowed upon us all.

M and I both need a vacation somewhere with fresh air and little cell phone reception.

I need the weekend too but will end up working some more than likely. I go on vacation the week after next and there are a few things I REALLY want wrapped up before I go.

I want to schedule a massage for Saturday but my vacation is at a spa so there will be lots of massage so I feel like I shouldn't. Meh, maybe I will anyway.

[udscoobychick]

chalupa, apparently some of the upper managers are pushing back a bit and want a few unspecified "fixes" before they move...maybe that might include cubes. His immediate manager promised to push for as much WFH time as possible as a consolation if it does end up being an open floor plan.

I work for a multi-million dollar company and they rolled out a new financial software package on Tuesday with NO TESTING OR TRAINING.  We literally received an email with about 8 screen shots on it of how to do things.

Well that would be fine and dandy if this software was created correctly.

When you call the help line they literally studder because they have no clue how to help and won't just come out and say it.

My week has been just glorious due to this.

and I am not looking forward to the weekend. It is suppose to be in the 90s with very high humidity.

Yeah, I was not made for the heat.  I see lots of indoor activities for me this weekend.

I felt like I was going to have a panic attack at work today, or at least some kind of nervous breakdown. So that's how I'm doing with the stress I'm under. I think it's the lack of appreciation. One more year and then I'm finding a new job.

Oh yeah, we're in the testing phase. And they've already had problems. My SAP training was 6 minutes and three handouts. This one is really easy to pick up, but they basically said "here's what you do in the new system, but you still have to do everything the old way and be ready to unlearn everything."

I am just glad that we won't have to deal with the bank's direct interface soon.
