Lack of motivation and impotent rage
I’ve not been feeling very knitterly (is that even a word?) lately. Work has been hectic, and I’ve been obsessed with .php and .css and .html and all that other crap.
I’m still debating what to do with the project I was talking about the other day. I’ve decided to finish it, since I’ve put work into it, and it’s nearly complete. But I still don’t know if I want to keep it or give it away. Maybe after I finish it and see the final product I’ll be able to decide.
And I really didn’t put a lot of work into it. It’s a simple, yet elegant, project. All garter stitch. It’s just that I don’t want to undo what I spent time on.
And, I can get more of the yarn for the original project, so that’s not a big deal.
One of my co-workers is asking for a slow and painful death. She and I switched job duties quite some time ago. The HR department has been trying to rewrite our position descriptions since then.
Rather than just putting my name on her pd and vice versa, they wanted to review and rewrite them both. Not a problem for me.
So they gave us both some forms to fill out for a desk audit. That was back in early September of 2003. It was due by 9/19/03. Mine is done, and has been since the due date. Hers is not. She has “put it on hold” to “work on other things”. This causes a problem for me, because in my agency, and my office in particular, we can only have one person with my job description at a time - no job overlap.
So, until they rewrite hers, they can’t rewrite mine. And because hers is at a higher pay level than mine, there is the slight possibility that she is delaying a promotion for me. All because she “doesn’t have time” to fill out a couple of pages of paper.
My bet is that the real reason she doesn’t want to write down her current duties is because she’s not actually doing anything, and doesn’t want to see it on paper.
So, my job title (and possible - I’ve got to keep hoping - raise) are on hold until she gets her act together. And she’s been out the last two days. And probably won’t make it in Monday because we’re expecting snow/messy weather on Monday morning.
I don’t care if she’s a flake or not, but now that it’s affecting me directly, I’m getting pissed. Someone pass me my dpns for a good stabbing. Or direct me to a good source of voodoo dolls.
