Nov. 8th, 2007 10:04 amI woke up grumpy, cranky and miserable. The only good thing about waking up was getting happy puppy snuggles in the wee hours of the morning.
A nice depression has settled in around me and I can only imagine how bad it would be if it were not for the zoloft I'm currently on.
Work is going. I spent the last day and a half closing out over 1000 accounts for a recall from one of our clients. No big deal. It's part of my job. It's tedious and boring, but it's what I do. Just before I leave yesterday we learn that it wasn't a recall but a PENDING recall, which means it was a notice to say "you have 30 days to try to collect on these accounts or we are taking them away from you". So this morning I get to reactivate the accounts I closed.
Then the HR director tries to be helpful for me. See my schedule had been 7:30-4:30 with an hour lunch. I really liked that schedule. I like having the 1/2 hour in the back office to myself to work up to having to deal with people. About once a week there is no one to let me into the building right at 7:30. No big deal. I just adjust my leave time to compensate. Well today there was no one here right at 7:30. I call into the sick line to say I'll be in as soon as someone's here to let me in. S.O.P. at 7:33 HR director shows up and lets me in. about an hour later she sends an email to me, my boss and the COO suggesting my schedule change to 8-5 to ensure there is always someone here to let me in. Of course my boss agrees. I can't blame her, this way the entire department has the same schedule. The COO approved it. At that point I don't really have much choice to say "OK, when do I start this new schedule". Not like I can really say at that point "I like the schedule I have. Less time I have to interact with actual people" So tomorrow I start doing 8-5.
I know in the grand scheme of things it's not that big a deal. My schedule used to be 8-5. But that was when I worked in Hamburg and had a 20+ minute commute so the 8am start was nice. But I'm a creature of habit. I like my routines. Don't mess with my routines. and they went and messed with my routine.
The upside is that I got approved for a half day on the 21st so I can drive to DC for thanksgiving and leave when it's light out and hopefully can get there at a reasonable time (9pm as opposed to midnight+).
But frankly, I don't want to deal with people. Two of the girls I work with's voices are grating on me today. Can I just go home, curl up with my puppy and hide? I didn't think so. But it's nice to dream.
