Yesterday, I went to one of our company-wide learning-session meetings. These are long, drawn-out meetings that get really, really boring. My ass inevitably falls asleep while sitting for those couple of hours. By the end of these meetings, you can look around the room and see everyone fidgeting and switching from one butt cheek to the other while listening to people drone on and on about how incredibly awesome they are.
And yes, I was one of those people a couple of months ago when I had to give a presentation in front of God and all the disciples. It seems that’s where it all started falling apart for me. Ever since that day, Big Boss has hated me and decided that everything that I do or have ever done with this company is wrong, wrong, wrong!! I think I know where I screwed up in my portion of the love-fest. I didn’t kiss her ass enough and give her credit for the whole project. Big, BIG mistake and I will never not do that again. Talk about a learning session .
So I tried to listen and take lots of notes during this meeting because I knew that Mr. Peepers would quiz me later in the day. During one of the presentations, a big wig got up and started talking about making costly mistakes and how much each little blunder costs the company. Then he mentioned the word “snafu”, which I’d never known was an acronym for:
Situation Normal, All Fucked Up
And when I found that little linky-link I couldn’t believe my eyes! That is 100% the definition of my current situation! My life is one big SNAFU right now!
Big Boss got her sausage paws around the results of another project that I’d worked on, and with the help of Mr. Peepers (nodding his head vigorously in agreement), ripped it completely to shreds. She hates the outcome of all of my work and has decided to rework it herself using a different angle. It’s an angle that I’ve tried to use before, and I know for a fact that it’s NOT GOING TO WORK!!
For a brief moment, I thought about explaining what would happen if she tried Plan B, but then I decided to keep my big mouth shut because she’s never going to listen to me anyway. And especially since Mr. Peepers chimed in with a “ that’s so wrong on so many levels ”
It’s going to be a disaster. And you know what? I can’t wait to see the outcome!! I’m just about to burst waiting to hear and see the big explosion!!
It’s sad that the SNAFU principle has to be in effect here. It’s sad that I’m going to find joy in seeing a project crash and crumble around Big Boss’s pork hoofs. All that extra time and effort is going to go to waste.
But that’s the way she and Mr. Peepers want to play. I am reduced to this ..until I get out.
I haven’t forgotten about O.O.T. (Operation Outta There). I have just been spending so much time chasing my tail that I haven’t had too much of a chance.
And I’ve given up on Jeff. His intentions are obvious. I’m on my own, and I really need to leave the company. I just don’t want to leave without having something else in line.
Enough work stuff for now. I’ll keep you posted on the impending disaster.
Incredibly, and to my surprise, Ethan sent me an e-mail yesterday. He wanted to know if I had time in my schedule to fit him in for a drink tonight. Wha? Okay buddy. First of all, NO. I don’t have time in my schedule now. Where were you for a week after you semi-fucked me and then disappeared off the face of the earth? Then you want to casually make some kind of last-minute plan for a rendezvous?
Don’t get me wrong. I can certainly see it from his side. He probably freaked out too after that night. Maybe he thought that I thought that we were instantly a couple or something. And once he realized that I’m not going to stalk him or force him into being my boyfriend or anything .well, maybe he decided to dip his toe back into the water to check the temperature.
My reply was lukewarm. I told him that I was busy tonight (that’s true, supposed to see Theo) , and then asked him how things were going trying to leave an opening for him to tell me all about how incredibly busy he’s been this week that he hasn’t had time to even pick up the phone and call to say hello or even to respond to my e-mail from Sunday.
No response.
No big deal at this point. Dynamics all screwy now.
SNAFU.
