I'm not a happy camper this week, when it comes to work anyway. The main contributant is a so called "reflection and discussion day" tomorrow, where our whole department gets locked up for a day to talk about our department and its future. I'm not one for reflection and "opening up to eachother" in the first place, especially when it means a full day of talking. The fact that it's a 2.5 hour trip (5 hour round trip) from my place to the venue -meaning I have to leave the house at 6 am, and that I won't be home untill midnight (if I'm lucky)- doesn't exactly make me look forward to the whole thing, either. On top of that, a deadline changed, and because I have to waste a whole day travelling and "reflecting", I'll probably have to come in on Saturday and Sunday to finish the project on time. The reflection day is mandatory, while missing the deadline on Monday will result in a $400,000 fine for our company, so working on the weekend is the only viable option. Oh, and did I mention I don't get paid for overtime?
So yeah, I'm in such a good mood this week.
In other news, I finally got word back from the contractor. Allegedly, he'll have my door frames ready by the end of this week or next week at the latest. So hopefully I can finally finish the house project soon. I'm not holding my breath just yet, though, as he assured me the door frames would be ready "shortly" when I last heard from him a month ago. Apparently his definitions of "shortly" and "soon" differ from mine.
