Todayhmmm, yesterday was a shit day! I hate work at times and yesterday was one of those days. I recently took a new job at the campus I work on so I can finish my degree before my son graduates from high school. As part of my old job, I was managing a budget for a renovation on campus as the renovation is to benefit two academic programs I worked with. So, in taking the new job I turned the budget management over to the new me.the new me is clueless, so my old boss asked if I would still manage this until the end of the fiscal year (which is 30 June).Sure, no problemI was asked to prepare a presentation for a meeting yesterday to update on expenditure status, etc. This I did brilliantly! But, in the midst of my little presentation someone says those numbers dont work with the construction costs...Whatever do you mean was my answer.Well, it's running over by 1/3 of the original budget.this is not good!!! Not good at all! Now, I have been asking for a final construction amount for 8 months. I am so fucking frustrated and yes I do sound like one of those bitch career women and when Im working and people fuck up (especially on something like this) yes I am a demanding bitch.I hate incompetence at workYes, I have fucked things up before but I am in the habit of dealing with it once I realize the fuck up. This isnt even a minor gee we made a mistake All parties had (and agreed upon) the budget last fiscal year!!! I am also a perfectionist when I work so I dont like when other peoples stupidity affects my work.And when all is said and done this isnt even my fucking project anymore! I shouldnt be dealing with it but I am very loyal to my old boss. He has been a mentor and colleague, as well as a friend to me for several years now and I do not want this falling on him. I adore him, his wife, and his family so I am doing this as a favor to him. Also, I do get some benefit as I hoping to be contracted for the administration of this program next year. (extra money always good!)

But, now that the rant part is over I am still being a non-smoker and today even made it to the gym for a really long work out. I feel much better as it does help with my stress level. I also think part of my evil reaction yesterday which was pretty much if you (facilities ran over) its up to you to find the money elsewhere. I have expenditures which are going through you approved the budget last year not my problem or error.So, not smoking has added to being evil!!!! Which is kind of fun!

Ooooh!!! Good news update on work shite - it will be dealt with - and i can go ahead and finish up as I planned by 30 June!!!!
