Yesterday, Kitty Cat asked me to attend a meeting with a consulting company that essentially does what I do. I know she was curious about the tariff situation and maybe if they could help us with sources and capabilities, but frankly, this company does my job! They do what I am paid to do! I tried very hard not to get defensive, but she’s looking at outsourcing my job with me sitting right there? It was weird.
In the end, the guy was like, “Well, it sounds like you actually have it all covered with what you’re doing!” But I’m also going to send him a project so he can make a proposal that might get us a little better pricing with one of my sources, but we’ll see. Weird, right?
Kitty Cat sent me a text later telling me that she hopes I’m feeling good about the work I’m doing, and thanking me for attending and leading that meeting. I texted her back saying that I felt good about the confirmations that this consultant gave me, but it all feels yucky now (I didn’t tell her I felt yucky - that part I’m keeping to myself and barfing out on this page).
I’ve fallen behind on documenting a lot of things, so I need to catch up on that today so I’ll have my files all together when I fucking LEAVE. UGH. Annoyed so much right now.
There are other things that bug, like Head Cat bailing on Indonesia next week because he “just didn’t want to do it” and yet, I went to the expo website and they are actually selling tickets to a meet-and-greet and autograph signing that he’s NOT GOING TO BE ATTENDING IN PERSON! He’s actually going to give his keynote virtually at 2am his time. I just know it’s going to be a disaster. Can you imagine? I’d be soooooo pissed if I went to that expo, paid extra for tickets to meet the guy, and then…oops…he’s not here live because such-and-such reason (which will be a LIE).
Will he even wake up for this? I bet there will be technical glitches as well. Dumb.
And the really frustrating part is that as much as I want it to be a cluster fuck, Head Cat is so charismatic that he can pull this off - even with glitches, even with not being there in person. And he’ll likely get paid very, very well.
More $7K Door Dash and Instacarts for him! sigh.
Meanwhile, my workdays just seem to be off this week. I supposed being out on Monday and not being totally into it on Tuesday combined with my sleep being wacky this week threw me all week.
I really do need an attitude adjustment. Why am I wishing bad on the company right now? Just because I’m frustrated? There are things I can be doing to make my part better. Why would I wish for it to fall apart?
This is how I work through frustrations. Thanks for reading and listening. I think a good workout will adjust my attitude. I better get going.
Looking forward to the weekend. Having another brunch tomorrow - this time in my current city, where my friends don’t dress for the occasion!! We’ll see how that goes.
Let’s turn this Friday around, shall we…
xox,
