Naturally..

So, annoying situation at work today...

I have been working my butt off since I wound up having about 15 days worth of work and 5 days to do it in. One aspect of a project, that usually takes 3 days minimum, I pulled off in 10 hours. So naturally, the software has a glitch and deletes part of it. No worries, I pull together and get it fixed before I leave work for the day.

So there I am, feeling all completed and ready to enjoy relaxing at choir practice. I get home and discover that my boss has been emailing and texting me saying I need to fix the stuff the glitch messed up ASAP. Y'know, the stuff I fixed roughly 5 hours earlier...

I admit, I'm not the greatest with administration or that type of stuff, but I make sure that everything I deliver satisfies. I'm just really annoyed he thought I'd have let this slide! And he NEVER micromanages so I don't know what was eating him tonight...

It sucks to be reprimanded for something you screwed up, but in some ways, it's even worse to be reprimanded for something you didn't.

NYE Reflections

Gotta love this time of year, when everybody reflects on what they dislike most about themselves and what they most want to change. Now, I'd love to say that I'm perfect but one of my christening gifts from the fairies was an oddly practical side to balance out my daydreamy nature. As a result, I am not the greatest at self-deception. Sometimes it gets Inception-like though with my practical side suspecting that my unflinching view of myself is just my daydreamy side imagining that I have an unflinching view of myself as practical. That made absolute sense in my head...

So, things to try and get straightened out this year:

1. A new place to live. The cave that is my apartment is getting tiresome.
2. Figure out the dating thing. While I'm dating a lovely guy right now, I don't really see long term potential.
3. Stereotypically, lose some weight and shape up. Maybe that'll get my mom to start harrassing me about giving her grandkids again, instead of my weight!
4. Learn how to use my new Le Creuset french oven. Can't wait! (Of course, for healthy things re: #3)
5. Sort out the finances. I have an MBA in Finance as well as Marketing; it's embarrassing to have debt!
6. Find places to go dancing. I love it, I miss it.
7. Start that freaking webcomic finally. It's been years and poor Q is still in purgatory!
8. If I do nothing else, start a meditation practice. I have forgotten how to be alone with myself and I need reminding.

I'm sure there's other things I could do, but surely that's enough for now.
