Haven’t you ever…
June 5, 2008-just gotten tired of writing? As if life sometimes doesn’t suck enough, let me constantly relive it through my own writing. Lol. Unfortunately I still feel the need to bitch about things in my life. So I’m still going to do it. 
Apparently the group I work in is trying to separate itself from our department. Going in a different direction, per say. And while I’m open to most changes in my life, I’m having quite a few reservations about this as a whole. We were relatively safe as we were in the company, there would always be a need for the job that I do. Because, hello, everyone has to pay taxes. Last week (Friday to be exact) my co-worker and myself had a new type of project thrown onto our plates. Not a big deal really, easy powerpoint presentation. And after our supervisor submitted it, it was approved right away. Which is unheard of.
However, it concerns me. Usuallly having a project taken out of our hands and made into something that will be utilized doesn’t bother me, I expect for someone else to get the credit. This time it truly bothered me. We worked our asses off on this, and I just know it’s going to happen again. Whether it be that my boss takes all the glory or the “golden boy” of our department takes it and completely tears it apart and only uses just one page out of the whole project. It bothers me to the point, I was nearly sick last night.
It was weird, I’ve never actually cared that much. Maybe its because I honestly believe that this entire project should be implemented. Considering how much it would help, and how many calls it would cut down. Doesn’t really matter now, it’s out of our hands. *sigh*
And I hope all of you with your 70 degree weather are enjoying it. It feels like the gates of hell have opened over North Carolina. It will ONLY be 95 degrees today. “Only” my foot connecting with the weathergirl’s butt. And though I am fully aware of the fact that I live in the south, 95 is freaking hot. Especially when you begin to factor in our normal humidity, which will bring it up to nearly 100.
Have a great one!
Much Love,

Yeah it’s a special kind of hot right now isn’t it?
I had a similar thing happen - I wrote something (for myself), my boss criticized it, and then… he basically took it, swapped out a name or two, and then used it for something he was writing. Yah, I was pissed!
Hehe, gotta love that Southern weather. I miss it until it arrives, and then I’m like, “Shoo Fly.”
I’m sorry hon, hang in there… nothing is worst than not getting credit for something you worked hard on… but in the end, credit always seems to go where credit is due, one way or another. Karma. Keep the faith!
