Friday was bad. A culmination of office wide female dissatisfaction. We are all to the point where we do not any change for the better and we are feeding off of each others’ misery. People are openly discussing leaving in the near future. It’s a shame because we all like each other but the constant pressure is too much. Everything is last minute; fixing someone else’s mess; compensating for people who do not have to do their jobs. All of this makes it too hard on us and we do not want to do it any more because the rewards no longer outweigh the benefits. I was in bed by 19.30 after one small glass of wine and without doing the things I wanted to do. I was too tired to even read.
08.25 – I’m already annoyed. Men in this company just get to do whatever they want. When we were talking last night in the parking lot, I made a comment that if we women did not care what other people thought of us, we could get away with shit like the men do. I’m going to try to remember that in the future, because that’s why we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of by the men. We do their jobs and clean up their messes so they don’t think badly of us.
08.32 – I didn’t pack a lunch today and I don’t feel like being virtuous. I’m tired and emotionally exhausted and no one seems to care. If one more person says to me “I’m tired, too.” I’m going to punch them in the face. The correct response is, “I can certainly understand why you would be tired.” I don’t tell people very often what’s going on with me. One would think they’d be just a little bit aware. In case you hadn’t noticed, this is a dumping ground; the landfill of my soul; a bitchfest and I like it. I’m going to have some cream of tomato soup for breakfast.
09.08 – My bookkeeper said working here is like being in a bad marriage and she has it absolutely right. We may all end up leaving at the same time. I love cream of tomato soup. It would be better with slivered up hotdogs and Ritz crackers crumbled in. We are having Chinese for lunch.
14.00 – I am numb and full. I ate all of my Sesame Chicken and brown rice with two cans of Diet Coke. I am calm but feel yucky full. Plus I want a nap now. Lots of stupid stuff happened in the past five hours but right now I don’t care. I’m off to copy a file for the lawyers for an upcoming lawsuit. I have already copied the files once but apparently people can’t pass shit on, so I get to do it again.

I love Ritz crackers and tomato soup. I canna buy Ritz crackers very often though because I eat a whole cylinder at a time. Yeah, I know.
I just finished a bowl of soup I made -I haven't a name for it. Maybe I'll call it Marigold soup. The soup has that bold colour of orange-gold. It is made up of celery, carrots, corn,pumpkin, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, medley of peppercorn, pinch of salt. I blended it all up. :) Sprinkled Parmesan on it. Tasty!
Katie: Your soup sounds delicious. Ritz crackers are easy to eat so many, especially with a good soup.
For the amount of time we allot to work each day, it sure would be nice if it was at least tolerable. Oh, and I like cream of tomato with a dollop of butter and some grated parmesan cheese. Mmmm. And some Ritz crackers too, maybe.
Gawilli: I took off yesterday just because I couln't go in knowing the side walks woulds not be shoveled and salted. The lack of care is just too much sometimes.
Your tomato soup sounds good too.
We put butter, parsley and black pepper on our tomato soup.
I need to make more soup. Odd because it is hot here - high 80's, but it really helps me eat more balanced.
I walked for 40 minutes tonight.
Katie: That sounds good, too.
Look at you with a good hearty walk. Congrats.
It will be a little warmer today, so I'm taking the puppy out before work. It IS time to get back into it. Exercise really is the only thing that does it for me. Those endorphines are get drugs for staying calm and clear headed.
I'm tired too. ;)

Goldie ~ I swear, it's the weather and everyone has that SAD disorder thing! Our office has been much like yours lately. It's hard not to let it affect you. Take it a day at a time!
Steve: It is going around.
Dabich: We decided to make a concerted effort to bolster eachother up whenever we feel annoyed, sad or mad. We keep telling eachother there are more important things in the world than our little jobs.
Guess who? Well with the silly lookin avatar just lurking in the corner Me guesses that it weren't too difficult to figure out.
Well, you do have a nice place here. Me made me way through the dozens of other blogs you keep and saw that this one had the most recent post, so me decided to leave me footprints here. Me just wanted to say two things (pull up a chair, me been drinking and this could take a while) The first is Me has been enjoying the interaction at grunts place, man does he know how to throw a party. The second thing is (and don't get upset here)Me first reaction to some one who says I'm exahausted , or I'm tired at the office ain't to find a way to empathise with them. I either kick them in the shins, cause we are all tired, or Me eats their liver with a serving of fava beans.
Love and STOMPS!!!
Scary: It's my party and I'll whine if I want. No one is as tired or overworked as I am. So, to make myself feel better, I come here. This is the blog where I complain and feel pathetic.
And I don't get mad. I would just kick back; D
