May. 2nd, 2008 06:36 pm And this is all I have to say...
Why do I need to argue with you about this? Just because you have been with this company since God was a boy, does NOT mean that you know everything and that the quality issues that need to be taken care of are just one more way for me to annoy you. I'm not doing this *to* you. If you would just quit fucking whining and do your job correctly so that I could do *my* job, I wouldn't annoy you nearly as much. But no, instead, you have to shake your head, ask "why" 800 times during a conversation, interrupt me with "that isn't going to make any difference at all" before I can even get what it is I need to say out of my fucking mouth.....ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!! JUST SHUT UP AND DO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU TO DO! JUST ONCE! PLEASE?
<growls>
I just wish I could say that was all I had given in on. I've fucked myself with this semester. Royally. If something doesn't change for me over the summer, I may not go back in the fall until I can figure some stuff out. I can NOT have a repeat of this semester. Ever. It just won't do.
Ok, now back to my graphs. The later I'm here working on them, the shittier I'm going to feel tomorrow when I have to come in and finish them. Blech.
BTW: I'm going to see Alyse Black at Neutral Ground Coffee Bar in New Orleans on Monday night. She's only in town for one night. She's great. She's like Norah Jones...but with funk. New face, great music and COFFEE!!
If anyone wants to come with, just get in touch with me and we'll figure out where to hook it up.

If I snap at or get severly annoyed with anyone in the near future if they interrupt me mid-sentence to either argue, make their point, shit..even if they are just suddenly remembering something and need to talk about that quickly before they forget...this is why. I hate being interrupted mid-conversation anyway. It makes me feel like what I have to say is utterly unimportant. My mother has done it to me all my life. She gets the glassy look on her face and you can't quite tell if she's listening anyway, and then she start a whole new conversation (whether with you or someone else...it doesn't matter) in the middle of the one you were just having. Truly like nails down a chalkboard. I could punch people for that shit. Annoying.
If you do this, and you are aware of it, smack yourself upside the head and remind yourself that it's rude.
I had the same conversation with someone today 10 times in a span of 5 minutes because he is, I'm thinking quite literally, completely incapable of shutting up while you're trying to explain something to him. Then when something doesn't get done correctly, he doesn't understand why because he "did exactly what you said to do!"
I think I'm feeling the frustration of having just read the quality audit results. Yeah. On the one hand, I'm taking them personally, but only in the ways where I truly am personally responsible for not following through. On the other hand, had I not completely lost faith in my job about 8 months ago, I might still actually care enough to go on...arguing...every day...with the same people....about the same stuff.
I don't do that "tell them what we should be doing in place of what we're actually doing" thing that lower-level management likes to do in big companies when the bosses come around. So I was honest. Yeah, I know, that's my forte. When the auditors would ask me questions, I told them the truth. There were plenty "Yeah, I really don't think I know the answer to that question" and "if that exists, I couldn't tell you where it is" and "I'm sure it would be better if I were standing back there with my hands on my hips watching everything they do" answers. I even told the truth about stuff I knew the lab had already lied about. ::shrugs:: I don't care. I'm not lying for anyone. But at least the one auditor I complain to all the time about shit around here saw what I was talking about when I tried to have a conversation with the supervising manager in the prep department about what needed to happen and why wasn't it happening. I just looked at him and he said "Yeah, I know. You don't have to even say it. I saw it." So I don't feel *as* bad about giving in.
