Getting ready for big, big meetings and I’m feeling like writing. What is wrong with me?
I’ve told you that Krab Kakes is my new-ish counterpart at work, right? Imagine this: One Grumpy Oldish (late 50s, early 60s???) Lady obviously going through either the last stages of menopause and/or losing it slowly (and sometimes not so slowly). Ugh. We share a cube wall so that she talk-yells at me over it to ask me questions or complain or whatever she is feeling at the moment (sometimes it’s just passive-aggressive sighing).
It’s weird. I don’t know why Ole’ Boss put us together. This area is WEDDING, people…and CREATVIE WEDDING at that. She is totally not creative and not very much wedding-like. She doesn’t seem to like “pretty stuff” or even quite know what DIY entails. It’s just a strange match.
But the good news is that I’m no longer intimidated by her. She used to scare the shit out of me. But several things have happened since those days of insecurity: I’ve proven myself and she knows that I know what I’m doing. PLUS, the meds have kicked in. PLUS! I do believe that she kinda sees that she’s an old bat and that it’s not going to go very far in this area.
And see, I need her now to get my job done. We’re partners. So I have to learn how to play nicely with her (and vice versa–I don’t think she was too excited to have me as a counerpart, but I also don’t think she’d be happy with anyone, quite frankly.
Regardless. We have a HUGE development cycle coming up and TWO Asia trips together, so let the semi-love fest begin. She was, well, okay on this last trip, but…ugh…it’s just so much more fun with…um, fun people?
Just read back over this entry and I sound like such a beeyoch, but I’m leaving it. There’s more, but I’m sure I’ll get to that later.
I’m still beyond thrilled to have this job. Truly I am. And bonus time is coming up–perhaps I’ll be able to add a couple more people to the wedding guest list? That would be cool.
Well, I better get going for now. SexyPants and I have been talking about doing a mani-pedi together and tonight’s the night!! I love that man!
Love YOU!
