DoHx12 Day 3
Feb. 12th, 2003 09:31 amYesterday I got so frustrated and mad about work. I walked off. I didn’t tell anyone. I grabbed the iPod and went out of the building, and walked to Starbucks, some 5 blocks away. (this is Houston, no one walks 5 blocks). I bought a hot chocolate (have I mentioned that I don't like coffee?). I walked around the plaza for about thirty minutes before I came back. Then I was bombared with questions, as expected.
What brought it on? Amy and Jerome yelling at each other that something - I don't even care what - had to get done before this weekend's conversion. There's no resources to do it. Regular work has to be finished, there are bigger issues. Still, you get two other supervisors in a shouting match and I'm so outta there.
I'm retreating into my own space. I got nothing accomplished yesterday because I just shut down. It's one of the many defense mechanisms that I've employed, and is quickly becoming a favorite. Why be involved when you don't have to be? If I hide under there...
Underwear? (now I'll get comments)
I even yelled at my boss, Gina. She had the audacity to ask why people weren't taking advantage of the unlimited overtime (the reps can, it doesn't do me one bit of monetary good). I told her that they're all tired, confused and mad about hearing more bad news about their job. their also not going to work extra now, when they know that next week the will be required to work 10.5 hour days - all week. Get your rest, guys.
Management needs to sit down, take a breath and realize somethings will not get done. period.
They can tell I’m not the Rock of Gibraltar that I wanted to be. I’m also the last person they think will crack up. They’ve never seen me go ballistic, and hopefully never will, but it’s getting close. Really close.
