Just venting

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Work has been INSANE. It's so busy, and I'm literally exhausted when I do get outta here. And now I'm getting a cold. I know the stress has lowered my defenses.

I try not to write about work too much. It's somewhat dangerous and not that interesting. But I need to vent.

I got pulled from the new project that launches in London. I'm very bummed about that.

My major account has continued to be a major pain in the rear. It's a huge account for the company, so there's lots of visibility. But it's not well organized and there's too many new people on the account. I don't mind training someone, but this is ridiculous! I've been here for almost 6 years, but four others on the team are brand new to the company, three of these are not in my department. I'm constantly being asked questions about how they should do their jobs and pulled into different directions. Plus I'm trying to actually do my work. Although I'm supposed to be 100% dedicated to this project, I still have 3 other accounts I'm also responsible for. We just don't have anyone to transfer them off to.

I continue to count the weeks to go until Hawaii. My saving grace is Steve. He makes me smile and forget about work.

Meh - London sucks at this time of year. It's cold and grey and rainy and everyone's grumpy. Much better off in Hawaii!!

(Make sure you get plenty of orange juice to nail that cold.)
