Day 12 (Looks to be, like, the longest 12 days ever.)
Sorry, I guess you shouldn’t really get to say that it’s “the longest 12 days ever” unless you are in prison or waiting for a test result from the doctor to come back or something. I am just a whiny, disgruntled employee.
You know, sometimes complaining makes me feel worse, but I just spent lunch complaining about bad management and I feel much better and more justified now. I started out lunch slumped on the bench we were eating at, with sort of a glassy stare, and my mouth slightly open. I said my standard spiel about why I’m leaving to my friend from the same university I work at, and she heartily agreed that we have bad management and that’s when the tide really started turning for me energy wise. I especially liked talking about the specific ineptness of our bad managers management, mostly micro-management and mis-management, and then there is the more sympathy provoking obviously in over their heads management.
On the way back to work, walking jauntily in the crisp, sunny air, I saw a woman from my office. I told her when my last day is and she said, “Good for you!” She is a manager who is nice to her employees and she said my boss seemed really hard to work for. I said, yes, she is an absolute bitch. Just kidding, I was very honest and fair. I said she was not a good fit for me but some of her other employees seemed to like her. Then I said, I still think she’s a butt-wipe though. Just kidding, I didn’t say that.
PS: Knowing that I was going to write a countdown post really helped me decide to come to work today.
