vitriol

work's the reason i haven't been posting much lately.

late last week and all of this week, i've been covering for a co-worker. i don't mind it so much because when i do her job, things run smoother because i know what i'm doing and explain things to the people to whom i'm handing off work (usually ends up just being velouria) and set reasonable expectations with the client side of things. and i think everyone knows this. (well, obviously not everyone because, well, the boss-boss hasn't done anything about it. but he doesn't do much of anything except go to meetings and get a constant rimjob from some of my other co-workers.)

also, there's been drama concerning my workload (and other peoples workload, but this is about me) come february and march. it's going to be busy overall. interactive. print. stupid clients. yeah. blah.

the one client we really do print for set really, really tight skeds, and the client side asked for more time, yadda yadda yadda, we didn't get it. that happened late today. and i love the girls on the client side because they go above and beyond a lot of the time, but the people on the print side don't see that and take it personally and hate them. i see it, and i get uber-pissed when the print bastards just try to lay everything on the client side when they do all they can to get the client to take their heads out of their asses and listen to us because we know what we're doing, but the client says no, they're right, then go do a lot of crystal meth, huff gas fumes, eat paint chips, and decide that's a good time to review our work that they should've reviewed several days earlier.

when i got home today, i checked my work e-mail, and low and behold, work asshole had escalated the whole "we're not getting more time, the client side are a bunch of bitches that want to see us fail, wah wah wah, i'm as whiny as my newborn, pay attention to me because i'm all that matters" thing to not only our boss-boss, but the client side boss-boss. and that is such an asshole thing to do. it's like, the client side did all they can, and the fact that work asshole thinks getting the client side boss-boss involved is going to help, well, it's not. usually the higher ups end up just saying "do what the client wants." so, you know, all the whine for nothing, not even delicious cheese.

and now i'm drinking.

at least scrubs is on tonight.
