It is definitely Thursday. My alarm went off at 5:30, and I briefly considered throwing my phone. Since that was a bad idea, I slouched out of bed and made coffee instead. Hopefully it will kick in soon.
The weather is really kicking my ass the last couple of days. I've just been achy as hell. Nothing I can do about it but take some ibuprofen. My mid back has been cranky as has my knees. Not looking forward to the shitty chairs at work today, as they tend to make me achy on their own.
We had a team meeting yesterday that totally devolved into chaos. The majority of people have a serious hate-on for my one coworker S, who works the inbox on her the days that she works. It devolved into thinly veiled finger pointing, and a general mess. The big hubub is that she works two half days. The current policy is that the coworker who has the inbox in the morning works the emails up until 1pm, which seems fair. Instead, some people are not doing that, and leaving reams of emails for Stacey to do. Yesterday, when I left, there were still emails from the day before in the box, and the morning person had sent exactly 5 emails. It was a the second of unpleasant meetings for the day.
The first was ostensibly to discuss adding a new queue for our out of market pickups. Instead, it became a meeting about using scheduled actions, which I don't think people are going to do. My boss got pulled into a meeting, came in long enough to praise us for taking the initiative and then had to dip for another meeting. Seeing that he didn't have the bandwidth for it, I sent the powerpoint to his boss, which might be bad form, but I'm tired of this being fobbed off. It's keeping us from setting actual goals for the inbox, because there's two different kinds of pickups, and they have wildly different KPIs. If we split those, we could have something to work towards instead of flailing blindly trying to meet a number that has never been communicated and we're never going to hit.
Then it was time to see Dad who was back in a Mood. Now, he doesn't think May 14 is a good idea, he won't be ready. He had a rough time in therapy and feels like he's backsliding. He gets angry when they push him to do more. He was a total dick to the nurse. I yelled at him for that, but goddamn, I'm tired of him. It's just a constant stress, wondering what the problem will be today. I mean, by the end of the visit, he wasn't happy with me either for yelling at him.
But then we had the second half of the Blades in the Dark game, which was lovely. It took me a little while to get my head fully in the game, but it was entertaining nonetheless, and took my mind off bullshit for a while.
Okay, I should start getting myself together for work. Everyone have an awesome Thursday!
