Looking backward...but only to move forward

Laughing -- Thanks so much for the kind words! It's great to hear that you're reading and enjoying the thread

Pam -- Where the heck are you? No new thread from you all week? What's up, girlfriend?

I'm just going to rant for a split second and then get back to normal.

I am having a horrendous day at work -- a two hour meeting with the biggest pain in my butt here all over how he's torquing my team up constantly. It's amazing how one guy can throw an entire department into turmoil.

Anyway, I was supposed to call h (we had a great AM -- went to the gym, went out to breakfast) and I was so peeved I debated not calling but DID and said "just so you know, I'm pretty upset about work stuff right now. I debated not calling but I always feel better after I talk with you".

We talked for about 3 minutes. He asked me a few questions about what was going on at work. Gave validating answers. Then seemed to "rush" me off the phone (OK, OK, I'm ASSuming). Not only that but at one point right after he answered the phone I heard him typing on his computer.

RANT: h -- if you're too busy to talk with me please just say so. Please do not type on the computer while I'm talking with you -- even if I'm just talking about the weather. If you're bored, not interested, too busy, whatever just tell me that you need to go. It makes me feel like you're not listening to me when I hear you doing other things while we're talking. RANT OVER

sort of...let me get this off my chest...when I heard him typing and he rushed me off the phone I have to admit that I thought "Oh...is he IM'ing someone and letting them know I've called". Nice cheeseless tunnel.

Anyway -- I'm sure this is my work frustration coupled with some PMS but it pisses me off.

Rant Really over, now.
