beansideSome mornings, I'm not sure this "job" thing is worth it. I really didn't want to get out of bed today. It took a few minutes before I got myself together, and even post first cup of coffee, I just want to crawl back in. It's probably not helping that at the moment, it's kind of grey and blah outside. Hopefully, it'll brighten up soon and maybe wake me up.
The meetings yesterday were just painful. The Equality, Diversity & Inclusion was fine, I suppose. We spent way too long on an icebreaker which are not my favorite thing. Then, it was all discussion over what we did for Black History Month (short answer: probably not enough) and what we're doing for Women's History Month (Could definitely do more.) Also figuring out what we're doing for April's holidays. All in all, at least it was stuff that probably couldn't have been an email, so they passed that benchmark.
The team meeting could have totally been an email, and god, I wish it had been. It was an hour and a half of my team arguing about a new project we'll be taking on. Another team has been doing this (poorly) and now that we don't have as much to do, they're giving it to us. The thing is, it's been made clear that this is what we're getting. There's no room for negotiation. It's coming to us. It's not that big of a deal, but you would think that we were being asked to rip our veins open and bleed for it. By the end of the meeting, I was ready to stab someone, and I had no better understanding of what the project would be. It was a fail all the way around, and just served to be annoying, and a chance for my team to slag off on the other team. They sounded like whiny five year olds kicking their feet and yelling "don't wanna!"
Coworker J and I spent the entire meeting quietly complaining to each other about our team, so at least there was some entertainment during it. We agreed that we have no idea how the fuck we get to the project screen, so hopefully there'll be more information coming out soon. We also agreed that there's a good chance we get slammed with this project disproportionately, because we'll actually get the work done.
After that, it was time to make a stop at the bank, and go pick up dinner. My shrimp scampi was okay, but still not exactly what I wanted it to be. My sister's chicken parm looked amazing, and Dad's cold cut was huge. At least I have some leftovers for today.
Today shall be another quiet day barring projects cropping up. I managed to get all my markets done yesterday, and the new ones probably won't come in until the afternoon, so the morning will probably be kind of boring. Maybe I'll get lucky and Boston will have actually bothered to send something in, so I'll have something to do.
Okay, it is time for more coffee, and to get dressed in my attempt to actually wake up this morning. Only one more day til D&D, which is sustaining me!
