OK...entry number 2 from yesterday...beware this is depressing!!
OK...another entry but I have been having a crap 24 hours and am totally pissed off.
So here�s my list of things that have f*cked me off:
1. The weather
Its cold, dark, windy and worst of all wet. I am not a winter person, I like to snuggle up in my PJ�s, under my duvet, in front of a weepy film with tissues, tea and yummy biccies. It is not the time for going outside. I can feel SAD kicking in all ready.
2. London Underground
Go to this if you are interested in my whinge about public transport
3. My PC
Well actually it�s not really my PC. I am the nomad of the office but that moan will come later on. I am pissed off at my computer because the useless piece of junk hasn�t worked all day. No external emails (in or out), no net access and the bloody thing keeps crashing. We�re a telecoms company for crying out loud. Can we not get systems that work properly??!
4. Work
This is my biggest gripe of today. You see I�ve been promoted and now I get to come to work and be bored for 75% of the time. The 25% of time when I am actually doing stuff, like going to meetings and getting out and about are great. The rest of the time (like today) I am bored shitless. Bearing in mind that I have had no external distractions today � namely e-mail and Internet- my achievements today were:
- 3 floor plans marked up with cable routes in pretty orange highlighter and sent to building surveyor
- 1 fax with building plan attached sent to another building surveyor
- 1 legal agreement put in internal envelope and sent to Legal department
- 2 address checks
- 3 queries about stuff nothing to do with me
- 4 external e-mails to customers that haven�t been sent and are probably floating around in cyber space
- Eaten 1 pack Original Hula Hoops, 1 bacon & chicken pannini at Henry�s Caf� Bar (with Diet Coke)
- 8 cups of coffee (am I going to sleep tonight? Am I heck!)
- 3 diary entries
- 2 conversations with Cosmic
- An hour and a half lunch break
How is it that I am meant to have this super-duper promotion and I hate it and want to get back to my old job of speaking to landlords and solicitors and customers and getting constant harassment from customer care and sales and customers and solicitors and landlords? Why is it that I sit here looking at the bottom of my screen willing the time to read 17:00 because it means that another day is over? Why is it that work from my department is being given to the admin person in another department because she has nothing to do while I am sitting here feeling like a spare part.
I don�t even have a desk anymore. But I swear if I hear the words �We�ll have to get something sorted out for you� one more time I will resort to physical violence.
Why as I�m sitting here writing this do I feel like crying because MY JOB SUCKS. This was meant to be a good move. A chance for me to do other things and move up in the company. A time for me to �not get stale and bored�. Yeah right. I am more stale and bored than I ever was before.
Anyway�I shall stop my moaning now because no doubt I am depressing myself and everyone else. Here are some Essex girl jokes to finish with that I read in my book (�One for my baby, Tony Parsons) (oh and I�m allowed to tell these coz I am one � Essex girl that is, not a book obviously!!)
Why do Essex girls hate vibrators?
Because they chip our teeth
What do Essex girls and beer bottles have in common?
Both empty from the neck up
What�s the difference between an Essex girl and a mosquito?
A mosquito stops sucking if you hit it on the head
