It may be that I am STILL tired, but there have been a few recent situations that have done nothing but irritate me. First, without providing specific details, is my work. I work for a small company in a small office. Most of the time this has some good perks to it. Other times, well, not so much. We've been busy (a positive in this economy), but when your boss wastes time, and I'm talking hours a day here, reviewing the same topics over and over with no conclusions, it gets a bit frustrating. We bust our buns to get our work done, which is challenge enough. Then we spend time we don't have in meetings that aren't necessary. Anyone else feel the pain? I know this type of thing happens just about everywhere one can work. However, though not new, still very annoying. It has been exacerbated lately by a specific problem for which the two principal parties offer NO solution and just continue to joust at one another. All the while the office is in a holding pattern waiting for the match to be over so we can accomplish the work about which they are arguing.
On the personal side, I found out today that a family member passed away. He was a great-uncle (read: we weren't close) and 101 years old. So while I am sad, I am more sad for my grandmother and the rest of the family in their loss of a brother, father, etc. That being said, and I don't want to forget that his death is the big picture, I found this out via a trail I won't follow here. Let's just say that the person who knew should NEVER have known before actual family (i.e., my sister and I) were notified. I'm not sure why we still haven't been told, but I don't appreciate it, and am actually rather angry and upset at the people who chose this method of "getting the word out." We'll have our conversation soon.
So maybe I'm just still tired, but I'm not the only one upset by both situations. For once, it's not just me.
