beansideWell, it finally happened. I yelled at dad last night. He started complaining about his one physical therapist and said she was a bitch and I kind of lost it on him. I told him that I don't care whether he likes them or not, I just expect him to be nice and do his best to do what they ask him to do. Then, he said "I'm always nice." I laughed in his face and told him that he was not. He was frequently a total jerk and that was not going to fly. I don't expect that it will make much of a difference, but I felt a little better (yet simultaneously bad about yelling). This came hot on the heels of him telling me that the chocolate I brought him home from Disney were not that good (he still ate them all, mind you). Tonight will be my sister's night, so I will not have to deal until tomorrow, which is good.
I'll admit, the chocolate thing was a little annoying. I took time out of my vacation to get him something and he acted like it was insufficient. If I ever did that, the ghost of my mother would have bitchslapped me.
Aside from that, yesterday was mostly boring. Work was slow, though I did a few things here and there to keep from losing my mind. Then, later in the afternoon, I had my meeting with my boss' boss, to discuss my career development. I don't know how much it helps, but it does give me a few new buzzwords to drop into interviews, should I get one.
While my manager is out, I'm trying to step up and bring my coworkers attention to stuff when things need to be done. So far, it's worked well. I noticed that our one team was completely out, and that our working reports was overgrown, so I mentioned it in chat, and people responded favorably and jumped on those reports to bring them down. I won't do it often, probably. I feel like if I did, the team would get resentful quickly. But once in a while, I think it's okay.
Today, I should have a couple of things to do, so that'll be good. Also we'll have the full team, so things should get done without my input.
I suppose I should get myself together and put on pants and get some more coffee. Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday!
