I have decided that no matter what happens - no matter who gets the raise that I didn't get for doing only part of the job that used to be mine...no matter who gets the brand new furniture and computer that not only did I not get, I had the sense to not even ask for because how does that look in the midst of a freaking budget crisis when people are losing their jobs...no matter that they're so eager to push me out the door into a smaller office surrounded by slightly batty ladies in the throes of mid-life so that they can give this space to a local politician who works here (and he already has a perfectly functional office in the next building over) because he lobbys for us - I'm going to grin and bear it. I'll do the best I can to manipulate this into a workable opportunity, and I'll try to ignore the little stings and slights that are so easy to personalize.
Haha - the coworker from down the hall who always asks about my blog just came in and was talking to me. I mentioned my move upstairs, which apparently a bunch of people don't know about (not like they should, but...), so I had to explain that whole thing. It makes less sense when I try to explain it to people than it apparently does to my boss. I still haven't seen my full job description, either.
New motto: Smile. Maybe not like you mean it. But like you want to mean it, anyway.
In other news - 10 days until Christmas!!!

aw. he needs to stop asking.
that place is a black fucking hole where nothing good can come from it administration-wise.
I'm just pissy because someone (not naming names, but it rhymes with :Stoli:) somehow talked the boss into getting them a new desk, new chair, AND a new computer. I've gotten hand me downs every single step of the way in the almost five years I've worked here, and accepted that I should be satisfied with what I had. Because I'm frugal and too honest for my own damn good. And stupid, too, apparently, for not exploiting a situation to my advantage.
you're not stupid. you're a good person.
in my religion, your soul won't burn in hell for being a two-faced, greedy lying donkey's butt.
