Note: I just need to vent. Everything below is true, but I'm frustrated, so I really am not going to do anything crazy at work except hopefully turn in my resignation within the next 3 to 6 months, if not sooner.
I've been humming DMX's "Party Up (Up in Here)" ALL day. The song goes: "Y'all gone make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here. Y'all gone make me go all out, up in here, up in here! Y'all gone make me act a FOOL up in here, up in here. Y'all gone make lose my cool, up in here, up in here!!"
My coworkers... my job. I swear to GAWD.
I'm PMSing. My cycle started 5 days early (thank you, stress and mother nature). I've been nauseated and having GI issues all day. I now have a headache from all of it. I worked overtime to get out a first draft of the review I didn't want to write but did anyway, and it was in really good shape for it only to get heavily criticized for things out of my control. Then a passive aggressive memo was sent out to our department because of the level of noise. Someone complained (it wasn't me, but maybe now I will complain if people are going to start complaining instead of dealing with it), and a memo was sent out for people to be cognizant of people surrounding us in our little low-walled cubicle land. UGH! The good news is that the memo worked and I was able to get stuff done today without my earbuds in. The amount of noise and personal conversations (I do not need to know because I'm privy to your loud phone conversations that your pregnant daughter has hemorrhoids) are mind blowing.
THEN I found out I am losing one day of working from home privileges. My boss thinks it's being taken advantage of and people are noticing that people are regularly "missing." So I and 2 other people going down to 1 day instead of 2. This is the exact opposite of what I need to function as a writer. I need quiet. I need an office or at least a wall higher than 3 feet.
The job application number has made it to 5; and I already have one call back from a recruiter. If this goes well, and I don't tank the writing assessment, I could be out of here and quickly. I'm hoping for other callbacks as well so it's not just down to one offer on the table. After today, I would have no problem dropping all these projects right where they stand. I hate to burn bridges, but various people (coworkers, boss) keep pushing my buttons, and meds and therapy can only do so much.
Okay vent over.
That's a bit better. Is it Thankful Thursday yet?
