   Stupid work!

   Every month, its the same thing - The Saturday Club rolls around, and I stress to the max about a 2 hour, one off session! Which no one ever turns up to!
   
   Sigh. The problem is, it’s my session - I have to create a new one every month, and this takes time. Time which I always seem to run out of ‘cos I’m running about like a mad thing doing stuff for other things that people ask me to do (or a stupidly volunteer for).
   
   Am I putting too much thought into this? Should I just not bother, sit back, and let what happens happens? It seems like all the effort I put in is ignored anyway. Oh people mention that they appreciate my help, but in the sessions I’m in charge if, my boss doesn’t even look in. I was mocked today for getting a lot of stuff for tomorrows session, and making lots of posters. It was good natured, but to be honest, made me feel like crap. I know this is a one off, but my thinking was maybe if it works it could be developed and we could do it again. I guess since no one even knows what I’m doing, that’s probably not gonna happen. lol
   
   Sigh - pretty much everyone on the lower pay-scale in our office is feeling underappreciated this weather, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. I just resent being given grief about taking half a day for training, when I worked a 7 day week last week, and am giving up my day off this week! The managers treat me like I’m an idiot. I know I’m kinda bouncy in the office, but I’m not stupid. Give me a job and I’ll do it, and do it damn well! Please, just don’t give me grief about stupid stuff which doesn’t actually affect my ability to do my job (FYI - telling me ‘It’s OK as long as you have no sessions’, after I TOLD YOU I had no sessions, and that was the only reason I was asking, is patronising and annoying. Especially since I’ve covered your sessions for you at a moments notice more than once!)
   
   I often feel that a lot of the time, managers are blinded by problems created by higher up managers, in order to meet tables and tallies and quotas, which actually just get in the way of the job getting done in the first place. With museums, people just seem to be more patronising about it.
   
   Ah well.
   
   BURN NOTICE!  :)

Hey. How's it going? Not much to tell. I spend more than a healthy amount of time on the internet, doing... not very much. I get periodically addicted to blogging sites. I'm about as geeky as one can be without knowing klingon (I figure I'm OK until 2218), so I tend to post stuff about movies, video games, random internet comedy... fun distractions for use during work!
Oh, and I write a bit., and act a little... but then who doesn't on the internet? ;) Mostly, I work in a museum dressed as a pirate or making paper masks.

Upfront - I don't quite 'get' tumblr fully. But hey, whatever, right?

Finally - I am fully prepped and ready for the impending zombocalyse. Just so you know.
