it's all about the rant.

I just finished a rant on the cooke's blog, now I will rant here.

These days are all the same for me.

- Get up at 5:15, hurry to get ready and be out the door by 6:15-6:20.
- Get to work at 7ish.
- Waste time until 7:30. (nothing for me to do)
- Go downstairs, make copies for the 8:30 mtg.
- Get done at 8am.
- Sit and waste time until the 8:30 mtg.
- Struggle to stay awake through the 8:30 mtg.
- At 9:10, head back upstairs.
- At this point, I usually send a myriad of emails out to different people, but
send mostly news stories I've found to the twin and the cooke. I'll do a couple
of tasks during this, but never over 30 minutes in length, total.
- Lunch at 11:30.
- Back from lunch by 12:20ish.
- Spend time trying to find something to do, because I've already read Fox News,
Time, CNN, People, and all the blogs by this point.
- Ask my supervisor if there is anything I can do. He responds with something
inane...either a mindnumbing task like enter numbers into the computer, or he
will say for me to get proactive and see if there's anything I can find to do.
(Whatever the heck that means.)
- Wait around until 3:30.

Sometimes this changes in the afternoons...there have been a couple of times I have received a task when I get back from lunch. After this point, I drive back to the apt where I madly work on wedding stuff until about 12:00am...I just can't seem to get to bed before that anymore. I'm tired. I'm just putting one foot in front of the other these days.

But that will ALL change in about 2 weeks. At least I won't be as tired anymore. I will be able to go to bed at a decent time, since I won't have to go back over to my apt. at night anymore. It's just frustrating...I would love to do the job they hired me for, but it seems like there needs to be some organization by the company before I can do it. ug. AND the thing that steams me the most...if I am anywhere past 7:00 coming in to work, I get a "you know work starts at 7" look and comment. It infuriates me. Don't act like I'm not doing my job if I have nothing to do for the firt 30 minutes I get there. I'd rather just sleep longer and come in at 7:30 and take the doc in pay. That's fine. Sitting around doing nothing is okay for a while, but then, it just gets irritating. I hope I get a good news phone call soon...

Just keep aggravating them about more work. Eventually they'll realize that you're not incompetent and that you really are just sitting there doing nothing.

Been there myself. And I hate it.
