Ninja Shan returns to rid the world of pestilence and fake yellow highlights.

If you got an online curse today, it wasn’t from me, I promise!!! 😉

Especially useful for sending to employers’ home e-mail addresses. Exes, too, if that ended kinda crappily. 🙂 You can personalize it beautifully. I’m still trying to figure out who sent me mine. …

My negativity vibe is still running high. Had a weird meeting about our upcoming convention. I realized that the only person I respect here (sans Shan) is our CFO. Every touchy-feely suggestion the second-floor staffers made, he was quick to report that his third-floor team did it. Last year. Immediately after the last convention. He rocks.

I want to put in a request to have the Veggie Patch Gazette transferred into the finance/operations department, just to have him as my supervisor. In fact, I just left him a VM saying how impressed I am with him and his staff, and how impressed I also was with his remarks and actions at, and preceding, the meeting. I also tossed in a random plug that I want to work for him, because I love his and his staff’s drivenness.

Heh. Wonder how THAT message is going to come back and bite me in the ass. At any rate, the man loves Shan and me, and frankly, I am hoping my message encourages him to pick up a phone and see how I’m doing. Because I would really like to tell him honestly how the fuck I am doing, rotting away here. …

UPDATE

CFO left me a wonderful VM saying that if things don’t work out with him and his wife, I’m next in line. lol. He said it really made his day to hear such compliments about him and his staff, and that he would be certain to pass my admiration and respect along to them.

Was thinking about what I said yesterday, how if a gifted kid doesn’t like his or her teacher, they simply cannot learn from that person. Hmm. After going into work for a few hours last night and having to answer this ridiculously long e-mail from Demure as well as give her this strange storyboard project she’s been harping on me for (again, not doing REAL work, just busy work for her own edification), I realized that I blocked her the day I interviewed with her.

Of course, I respect my elders and want to absorb everything I can from everyone around me. But at the point that I realize that they are full of shit, I shut them off (like HRP — brilliant woman but a tremendously fake person, which I spotted immediately yet denied for months). Perhaps, after all these years of being told by superiors that I am terrible with time management, it might just be that I am GOOD with time, because I despise wasting it on/with people who don’t enhance my knowledge base or personal development. I pity this woman — she can’t solve anything on her own — she continually runs to Kumquat to get his directives on what she should do. I guess when I look at someone and know that I’d be able to do their jobs, and that I might want to do those jobs, I guess the lil rebel in me wants to bind and gag them and hide them somewhere so I don’t have to hear from them. 🙂
