didn't get as far as I'd like the past week, but got one project done... but with lots going on and lots of distractions and sudden priorities/issues arising, it pulled me away from my goals quite often.
*shrugs* it's not as if I haven't been trying, to say the least - and, sadly, dealing with some utter absurdities along the way...
but that's work for ya - and I do like my job, so can't complain even if others are... like those who suddenly wonder why early month projects aren't completeeven though they're the ones having me do things for them that aren't within my department or scope
I "love" //sarcasm// the "if it only takes [period of time] to get it done, you should be done already" mentality
when in reality it's the "it only takes [period of time] if uninterrupted and unhindered during the [period of time]", which hasn't been close to happening
...something that too many people tend to forget or ignore, even when they're told to leave me alone during [period of time] they send me request after issue after request after issue
*sighs*
aye, it's my job to solve the issues and get priority/rush requests done in timely fashion but the monthly projects are also a priority and largely affect all the other departments
which, of course, they're not realizing and "wondering" why they're not complete yet ( which, if they simply read e'mails or listened, they'd be aware of what's still on my docket for the month )
ANYways... started cleaning the apartment but ended up tapping out and deciding it can wait
after last week's 58hr workweek and this week's catch-up/rush with only minor successes, a weekend to relax and enjoy simple things isn't a bad thing, neh ?
so I've been spending a large part of today watching Doctor Who's 12th Doctor/"Series 9" now that it's streaming on amazon :)
sadly, also been spending the non-work portion of the past week dealing with/putting up with religious nutballs, racist asshats, and bigoted bastards and bitches online
*meh*
blocked some, unfriended others, and largely ignored comments from the rest
some humans are just plain idiots - thank the gods of hell I'm only half-human or I'd have to hate myself *Oi!*
but, yeh... guess that's just reality for ya...
the only part that bugs me is that the humans I actually like and get along with I so seldom hear from and even more seldom see
though I admit I'm hard to reach phone-wise, that isn't the human interaction I desire anyways - I like to talk to people face-to-face, even if it's only for a quarter-hour a year, y'know ?
most of my friends I've seen once in the past 20yrs
a select few I've seen a couple times in the past 5-10yrs
fewer still I see yearly
so, yeh, beyond my daughters, ex-wife, and co-workers, I have little to no human interaction
even the neighbours that I'd see and enjoy talking to for an hour here or there during a month are gone now
not that I dislike the neighbours that remain, I just never got into convos with 'em beyond a minute or two passing by in the hallway
and now, of course, that we're getting into cold season I'll be doing whatever I can to not leave my apartment beyond the necessary - like work
some people love the cold, but even before my head-damage ( and thus cold-induced headaches when temps go below 40 ) I disliked the cold and winter with a bloody passion.
*ugh*
doesn't help that the majority of Minnesotans that I've met in my life are bleedin' idiots
so, no surprise that a big chunk of my friends are from other states and other countries - all of which where I've ne'er been, go figure
so... guess that's all I've got, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk - stay the course, stay warm, and stay outta trouble ( unless it's the good kind ) :)
