Sad to say that at quarter after 10 PM, I am not in bed sleeping, but thinking...and not about anything in the news, because I have consciously ignored the news as much as possible lately.
I think about work even when i am not there. I have a lot to think about. Dont get me wrong, I am not bragging about how self important I am, I was raised to eschew that sort of behavior. Maybe that's part of my problem- when i do get credit, i can't handle it. I was complaining this weekend about why is that when you find a job you seem to be good at, you hate it?? I have done this IT project stuff for nearly 10 years, so i guess i am bound to know a thing or two, and yet I hate it...the reports, the hassle of dealing with the contractor vendors, of keeping our own budget people from paying unapproved bills, and trying to convince management that spending a half million dollars now in a bad budget cycle makes sense... because the vendor is also in a down turn and is will to sell nearly a million dollars of hardware, software and services for half...
Today i had several vendor meetings, and finally met this woman I had talked to several times on the phone. I had imaged her a middle aged career woman, average build etc...I mean what do i know. I come back from lunch and there is the human Barbie doll, who smiles and says are you Canice? I acknowledge that and she tells me she is my appointment. Afterward, the managers I work with (all women) and I discuss what we are going to do to follow up, and I blurt out "and when the hell was anyone going to tell me we were meeting the human barbie doll??" Hilarious laughter, and then the commentary, which seemed warranted at the time...I swear she had the smallest waist I have ever seen, and we decided she had her clothes spray painted on, to match her black snakeskin 4 inch heels...and her chest was obviously man made, as evident by the looks form the men in the place...and worse, we think she uses botox, since her face was frozen the entire meeting, even though I (apparently) was staring at her mouth... how do you talk without any facial movement???
Now I am thinking about the meetings i have tomorrow, but Alas, honey and the dog are going to bed, and I should follow... and think about Christmas being only 9 more days
