I don't want to go to work today. I bet they still aren't going to have anything for me to do. The extent to which they keep me busy would almost make you think they hired me to look good in their "equal opportunity" stats rather than because they actually think I have some value as an employee. Being paid to sit at my desk and try to look busy sucks so so so much. What's more, I think all the cleared members of my group are going to be at some big meeting out-of-town today, so the odds of something to do coming along seem relatively small. Though I could be wrong about that--no one ever tells me anything.
And the thing that pisses me off the most is that a month ago I requested a long weekend so that I could go home and visit my parents and do wedding stuff (I can't go the month of March because my parents are going to Europe--the lucky ducks!). My manager told me he really didn't want me going anywhere until after February 18th (because there was this big deadline), and due to the shower next weekend and really needing it to be a Friday off so that I could go see vendors who might well not be open on Sunday... Well, I ended up deciding I really couldn't go home for a weekend. And they they proceeded to have pretty much nothing for me to do for the entire past 2 weeks! I cannot tell you how much that pisses me off!
Also, Josh and I stayed much to late at Hyde Park last night. And then we stayed up even later because I was upset about things (in addition to work) which I don't want to share here or now... but at any rate I really had a lot of steam to let off before I could sleep. And here I am and it's time to go to work and I didn't sleep well and I'm practically histarical. Really, my job isn't that bad for the roughly 50% of my time that they give me stuf to do, but I hate the time that they don't (and of course, they seem to want me to look busy, so I can't like bring in a book or a knitting project those days--which would still suck, but suck significantly less). Oh yeah, and lately when they've actually had stuff for me to do it has been documenting other people's code that I've never seen... um yeah... and you thought documenting your own code sucked. And documenting other people's code that I haven't seen often means going and talking to said person, being told I still can't see their code, and standing their while they conclude that it would be faster for them to document it themselves than to tell me how to do it.
