Today seems to be non a great day for jerk brain. Despite it not being my fault, everything is my fault today. It's cold and we still have no heat? I should have prevented that. No coffee this morning because we're out? I should have remembered and ordered some yesterday.(okay, that one kinda is on me.) The world is a dumpster fire and Cheeto is still attempting a coup? Probably on me somehow. It's utterly ridiculous, and I'll snap out of it eventually, but it's annoying.
We had our first ever team meeting with the new managers. My team of course, could not behave for five minutes, and made it all about their huge workloads and how no one ever helps them. (They have never actually asked for help that I've heard, but they swear they pleaded with our prior manager.) The new managers did pretty well with it, so that's good. We are apparently going to get more people, so that helps. All in all, it was a mildly productive meeting, which lasted an hour and a half, which was about an hour longer than it needed to be.
Then, about twenty minutes later, I get pulled into a meeting and told I'm being trained for more things. This time how to pull the delivery updates and hand them out to people. It wasn't unexpected, since both people who currently do them told me they wanted me trained, but apparently it's because one of them is out for the holidays 12/24-1/4, so they need someone to do it during that time. Which is fine--I like learning new things, but I'm not sure what we're going to do about my markets during that time, since I'm the only one out of my little group who'll be there. I had expected to have to continue doing mine plus the other two people in my groups. But if I'm doing delivery updates, that isn't going to happen. So, we'll see if they can find someone to do three people worth of reporting.
On the plus side, during the meeting, my manager was very complementary towards my skills and willingness to take on new things, so, y'know. Teacher's pet over here. Never a bad thing, I suppose. Plus, since I'll have two or three people working for me, this checks the "leadership" box that I didn't have to become a manager, so when that comes up again, I can reapply.
At least today is my Friday! No games scheduled this week, so it'll be a quiet weekend.
