Sick day
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008I should be at work right now, but I can’t face going in, Between my boss dropping a nightmare new project in my lap at the very last minute and my colleague’s constant criticisms I really dread going in. Not only is the actual work a hell of a lot, the emotional side of dealing with the people there is really getting to me.
I feel so isolated there - I’m the only member of the core team who isn’t invited to the team meetings, and my manager never tells me anything unless she absolutely needs to, so I usually have to figure things out from overheard conversations or whatever crumbs my colleagues wish to tell me.
Those flies last Friday were trying to tell me something - it’s time to go.

That’s so rough being miserable in your job. I really feel for you!
By the way, I stole your Betsy Lerner quote for my blog post today. Thank you very much for sharing!
I sure hope things look up soon for you!
Best Regards,

Thanks Jules, I’m not due back at work until Friday and I’m going to see my counsellor tomorrow, so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to cope with it by then.

Your boss is Meryl Streep isn’t she?

Actually, she’s the complete opposite of Ms Streep (in Prada or that lawyer show). My boss acts like she’s very supportive and understanding - then sticks you with whatever new scheme she can add to her resume.

I hate it when people get to control my feelings.
Actually, I am to be blamed! I let them do…
Nobody can ruin your day without your permission, indeed.

Hi Lalla, what you say is very true.

Sounds nightmarish. I know the feeling.
