Generally Surly attitude
Good morning. It's not quite 10 am but i've managed to become thouroughly annoyed less than an hour into the day. Why? Lets' just take in account that I do have a generally surly attitude and I have never been mistaken as the happy person type. I"m sure there are reasons for that inwhich my new therapist and I can discuss but I'll get back to today specifically.
Everyday I am solely responsible for getting my child up and dressed and to her location of the day. (be it school or childcare) She and I are not morning people so everyday includes verbal and physical struggles and races against the clock. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but it's just not a happy morning boost. Usually by the time she reaches her destination she's perked up enough to be adorable again and I hate leaving her, which is even worse. That just is what it is. Lately I've added the additional stress of carpooling. Don't believe the radio commercials that make it out to be a relaxing way to get to work. You have to be on someone elses' schedule. You can not be late or you are just pissing off 3 other people who you are depending on to give you a ride home. Mine involves me walking over to childcare with child in tow and this short walk can vary widely in time. Once I get there and know I've at least not kept anyone else waiting I feel a little better. Then I get to squish in the back of the SUV next to a hard and pokey carseat and sit bitch in traffic for awhile and listen to someone elses' radio stations. It's all part and parcel, but generally uncomfortable. Once I get dumped at the curb at least I know I have beaten most everyone to work and can have a little time to myself before the requests start coming. .
Not so much today. Although I did beat most people in, I realize I'd left my ID card on my gym bag at my desk so I had to wait for someone to let me in. Then, after I'd gotten a paper and sat down the office pretty girl comes over and asks about a map file. We always have map issues b/c people think I'm hiding some huge library of maps and I have some magic program that makes them. Neither is the case. She repeatedly tells me the kind of map she wants which I can plainly see because she's holding it. I try hard not to dislike this person out of plain jealously but she's making it hard today. I get it. I got it. OK lady you'll get THAT map. Ok.. bye bye now. Literally 2 seconds later her well-to-do boyfriend is at my desk asking for another map thing. His is a much more complicated request, his example is from a different team and I wonder where he got it his hands on it and if they know he has it and if I'm suppossed to suspend the other work i'm also doing for his team to take up this time consuming map dotting joy. Yep, that did it. Thoroughly annoyed. Just to top that off sparky pilastry wanders over and asks me if I'd sent him something I'd sent him yesterday and isn't listening as I repeatedly say yes. Then he golfs up and down the aisle next to my cube since the server is down and well, that's just what these guys do half the time. Jealous? Maybe. But I really wouldn't want his job. I'm obviously not a 'people person'.
