Kittens and Work are nowhere near as much fun as their stickers claim...who do I lodge complaints with??

I feel as though its possible I’m being punished for my unkindness in the last post. The co-worker I was bitching about is no longer w/us…well, she’s w/the Us that is the human race (at least I believe so though I’ve had no proof…) but she’s no longer w/the Us that is the company I work for. A blessing, yes, but then our plucky band was down to 3 (not counting our fearless leader). Manageable client loads on a temporary basis and then, then the powers that be decided it was time for a software upgrade and, while we’re at it, lets be sure to convert to an online enrollment system for our medical enrollments which requires an all-out audit/correction of both our and the insurance company’s files and…coincidentally enough, they must both be done now and not later and each will take all our time and focus for the next week or so...on their own…but there are 2 and which would I rather do?? Neither but, as a lowly peon, no one cares what I want. Bad enough – all the regular stuff is going undone and piling up in the meantime but, this morning….well, this morning, my favorite, most dependable co-worker tells me he’s put in his notice and now, now there are 2 (not counting our fearless leader) in our quite diminished band. This is not a manageable case load...not even temporarily, not even if I wanted too. That and the worst cramps I have ever endured have added up to a most displeasing week. On the bright side, there was free popcorn…

So, that’s my work situation…finding another method of paying the bills becomes more and more appealing as I think about it…and live this. Did I mention my review is 5 months overdue and no end in sight what with all the software conversions and such? Sigh…I hate this place sometimes…others I find it comforting if only for its familiarity…and the money…such as it is…bleh…

And that’s all I seem to have to say. Have a lovely weekend everyone…I think I may just hibernate…

Oh, did I mention my adorable, not so little anymore kitten has a chewing issue? No? Well, I went to install the wireless keyboard and mouse I aquired (see kitten chewing problem...) and discovered, not only did I need an opperational keyboard and mouse (neither of which I have-see kitten chewing problem-well, it's no problem to him... it's more like a hobby really) to actualize this dream of a wireless desktop, but that my monitor seems to have been compromised by the little brat as well. So, he chews on the wire that is permanently attached to the monitor...my lovely monitor...that no longer works and will take more time and effort and money than I feel able to throw at to fix...I could...drench the little shit for this...not that he'd care but I feel some retaliation would only be fair...cuteness only goes so far, you know?
