I’ve been absent from writing because of this dumb project that’s taken up 98% of my headspace for the last week and a half. It even consumed my whole Memorial Day. Why do I let myself get this way?
I’d asked for time in front of Head Cat, Kitty Cat (CEO) and Coo Cat (COO) so that we’d all be on the same page. I asked for 15 minutes so I could state my case. I spent hours and hours putting together a simple-to-understand presentation that I’d color-coded, numbered, and timed perfectly. And today was the day I was to present my ideas and recommendations/next steps and hand them over.
But Kitty Cat had her Zoom set incorrectly, and nobody could figure out how to let me into the goddamn meeting that was already in progress. That ate up about seven minutes of my fucking time. And after seven more minutes, Head Cat said, even though he was smiling about what I’d already shown, that he had to go to his next meeting.
RUDE. Just. Rude.
So I presented the rest of my case to Kitty Cat and Coo Cat so that at least we three kittens would be on the same page.
And yet, Coo Cat is worthless, so she throws out the worst additions to my ideas. And Kitty Cat can be too nice - she didn’t say anything in the meeting, yet texted me all about how she disagrees with Coo Cat after we got off the Zoom. And Head Cat is just gonna do what he wants to do regardless.
No matter.
I shouldn’t care because I need to spend my energy on my own next steps. At least this part is over. I’m planning on making an easy workday for myself tomorrow. And I’ll be on vacation by the end of next week for a few days. Head Cat and this dumb project can wait.
Fuckers. All of those cats.
Oh, the trip planning is what’s taken up the last 2% of my brain energy and that’s been hilarious (har har) as well. I had to take control of most of that, too. And yes, I LOVE to create itineraries and such. I loooove to do the research and plan things out. But those bitches are now asking me allllll the questions! And I’m over here like…shall I google that for you??
And then I do. And I draw big circles and arrows around and about the details to make them crystal clear. And text it to them on a silver platter. Here you go, ladies…
Just like at work.
And then I wonder why I’m so resentful of everyone.
sigh. eye roll.
