I could devote an entire blog to complaining about my job

The resolution to yesterday's recount of a day in the life of a municipal government employee is, of course, big fat disappointment and an exploded head. Key player number one waited until this morning to get off his hands and shuffle the responsibility to someone else, knowing that his inaction yesterday made it impossible for the deal to go through today. Thanks a lot. Really, I wanted to worry and fret over an extended holiday weekend about a job I don't even want to go to in the mornings, much less want to take home with me in the evenings. People (most of whom have worked here for years, no- decades) actually seemed to be lining up for their chance to get in the way of this deal going through this calendar year. Everyone just waits for their chance to set sail on their very own power trip, and when the opportunity presents itself, it's bon voyage to anyone or anything that even attempts to make sense. The upside to all of this is supposed to be that they have promised me (again) that this will all be over on Tuesday. Oh goody.

As I said, I could devote an entire blog to complaining about my job. I'm sure it's not something any of you want to hear. I just had to do some venting... and now you might understand why, when you ask me how work is going, I usually just grunt and mumble something about being glad my bills get paid.

Sigh.
