work stuff and a meme
Jan. 10th, 2009 06:45 pmUm, what the hell? I am fairly confident that I did not favorite NEWS's "Happy Birthday" PV on youtube. D:
So, I've done diddly-squat today. I took two naps and watched a lot of Coupling on DVD and unfortunately gave myself a headache. I like idleness, which sucks because I'm so poorly suited to it? Or maybe I'm just poorly suited to having a huge sleep deficit. And it's only going to get worse! Work is about to start kicking my ass for the next, um. 11 months. D: Feb was going to be a lighter, easier month and I was going to go up to Smith and see a hockey game. And instead, we're having a special election for three City Council seats and there are going to be disclosure statements coming out my butt. Then right after that ends, another big one (we have a big one coming up this Thursday) in March, and then hopefully a moderately gentle April.
This summer on to November is going to be madness. Which sucks because I might be looking for a roommate again this summer. It just makes it really hard to schedule to show people the apartment and meet with them if I'm working lots of overtime and am in on the weekends and stuff - especially if the overtime is unpredictable. On the other hand, money!
I was going to say it's good because I like my job and the people I work with, and it's true, but someone new is starting in my unit on Monday and I'm quite nervous. My boss and I work so well together! On the other hand, with all the craziness coming up we really do need the extra support. Augh, though, it's going to be so disorienting for them, starting a few days before the disclosure statement. And then I'm also going to have to help train her? Which isn't that onerous or anything, but I have a bunch of other things to finish before we start doing our reviews - and people will start filing on Monday.
This review is going to involve three main programs/information aspects and all three have problems right now. XD It's very exciting. I'm doing a lot of testing things and finding mistakes and problems and what-not. Oh, I remembered the skill I have that I was trying to think of the other day - I'm good at breaking down problems into smaller, easy to solve parts, or breaking down the different factors that go into making a decision.
But work isn't that stressful, I should say - just tiring. Maybe it should be, but I have a lot of faith in my boss, and I always know that she's ultimately responsible. Not that I feel like I don't need to do my part, but when things get weird, I know that she's the one in charge of making things work and making decisions. Which is I guess how it's supposed to be when you're not that well paid and don't have power. But it's nice, because it isn't always that way.
A meme, in which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
