beansideIt sure is morning. I'm kind of dreading the day. Dad is not feeling great. Just a cough and cold (we tested him for covid, and it was negative), but he was really shaky last night, which always scares me. We're just not set up to deal with him if he starts having major problems. I'm hoping he feels a little better this morning, because I really don't want to visit the ER. He's 81, so I always worry about pneumonia, so I'm going to be keeping a close eye on him.
The election went pretty well in MD, so I'm grateful for that. We had a total extremist candidate for governor. MAGA all the way, and I was worried, but MD voters came through and instead voted in the first ever Black governor. It also looks like we have legalized marijuana, so that should bring some of the prices down for Jess. I will wait and see what IKEA's stance is on it before I do anything. I'm hoping they put out a statement soon, though knowing them, they probably won't.
The pissed off customer wants to escalate above me, which is just fine. I'd cc'ed both my manager and not!manager on the email, so that one is going to be their problem. Though he wants a "senior" manager, so I don't know if they'd be enough. Not my problem any more!
Work yesterday was long and boring and today I'm going to be back in Pending, which should be thrilling. Had a call with not!manager yesterday where I again made policy for the queue. Which is just fucked up. They're relying on me and one of the coworkers from Staten Island to set the parameters and ways of working. It's way outside of our scope of duties and pay band, but on the other hand, if I'm going to be stuck working it, it would be good to have that protocol codified.
It just seems like things are increasingly my job, and I'm not sure I like it. I like being busy, but I'm still getting paid the same as the people who only do their job and nothing more. And if I do it, it doesn't get done and then everything goes to hell. I'm probably not going to do anything to change it, I just like to bitch.
Okay, time for me to get my shit together for another fun day! Have a good Wednesday everyone!
