crisp october morning The first night back at work wasn't that bad and for that I am grateful. In what for me is typical behavior I went there expecting the worse, be it an email about something I had done wrong days ago and it did not know at the time or the implementation of some new obscure procedure that no one knows how to do yet has become the new high priority of the department. Neither of those things happened. Usually I complain about the monotony at work, but I'm never quite sure what will be waiting for me when I walk through that door for the first time in three days. Various scenarios of a coworker finally quitting in disgust or surprise visits from management are two such prospects that I fear seeing. That kind of negative uncertainty is not something that I enjoy. Nor do I view random criticisms from management as variety in my job. Without trying to whine too much, I need a good day to start my week to balance out the awful ones that seem to come around far too often. Thankfully as I said in the beginning everything was calm for me. Now I am hoping that the rest of my work week goes as well. It's nine in the morning and I need to get to sleep. |
