Monday Morning JOY!

back in the office today.  i walked in to my almost packed up office and wanted to cry.  it was so depressing.  the fact that i have to move to a part of town i despise and have to do it all myself wasn't what frustrated me.  

it was the fact that it's the first day of the month (work-wise) and i landed a new client within one hour of being in my office.  $3000 for an hours presentation, on a whim, unprepared.  BOSS was surprised by rather have something nice to say calls me into his office.

i go in.  he tells me to shut the door (you would think that is bad, but he will insult you with or without the door being closed.  BOSS starts right in:

1)  i hope your little vacation on friday isn't the start of the old you.  you were doing so good.  i'd hate to see you calling in sick every week now. (um, a year ago i was sick and on the verge of a mental breakdown and took a week off).  i have so much vaction time but can never take it.  oh, but i am losing that anyway... - that's a whole 'nother blog topic i'll save for later in the week.

2) couldn't find this clients' info.  i went through all of your stuff in your office and i am concerned because i did find this, he says.  he pulls out something that i was working on for an outside charity.  "i hope you don't spend all day doing stuff that isn't work related" - i did tell him that that was personal, not for him to have in his possession.  i admitted that it was something i was doing on my lunch time since i don't leave my office for lunch.  i don't even eat lunch because i get more and more crap piled on me.  for some reason, he doesn't seem to think running a company is enough to do.

i digress.

so he gives me the weekly list of things i need to finish up on and update him on and then go back to my office.  it's so depressing.  i can't stand it.
