:joy: I wish!! The dentist sucked, and that’s the appointment I was least stressed about. My dentist kind of threw me some shade because he was re-doing an old filling and he was like “man this is a BIG filling” like ok…thank you for that this doesn’t already suck enough :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

My job is just death by a thousand paper cuts today and I am Over It. Lots of, Person A telling me, “I have no idea, maybe ask Person B?” And then Person B responding, “I have no idea, but Person A knows this.”

Literally everything that has been sent to me today has been, in some way, wrong. In trying to figure out what is right, the above keeps happening.

They’ve been saying that they are going to reorganize our team so that there are fewer scrum teams. We had 6 teams, and I had to attend meetings for 4 teams after the layoff, so that all were covered. Now there are 4 teams… and it looks like my tasks are being shuffled onto the new teams such that I still have to attend 4 teams’ sprint planning, sprint review, daily standup, etc. I had hoped this reorg would result in a net loss of required meetings but it has not and I am PISSED. I had seven meetings yesterday, 6 today… I cannot work!

I have a vacation day planned tomorrow but I’m scared to death something’s going to blow up and will probably be checking email out of paranoia.

Don’t do iiiiit! Turn off everything that could give you a notification and pretend to be off the grid. You manage to hold on when your boss is unreachable, your company won’t explode if you’re unreachable for 24 hours.

Plus maybe someone will fix a thing before you ask 12 people about it while you’re gone. One can always hope!

Yeah - but the only person I could ask to be my backup gets SUPER crabby when she has to deal with crap like this. So I was hoping she wouldn’t have to, since I’ll hear alllll about it later.

Major system upgrade today, so this is the start of a 36+ hour day.

I sort of thought I wasn’t going to have to do this when I took this kind of job, but then again, the execs are going to be hovering around for this too so maybe it’s not so different ever.

I feel like I’m really in the habit of trying to see things from other people’s points of view, imagine people complexly, etc.

But dammit, I want to be uncomplicatedly mad at someone and I keep thinking things like, “Well, this person is probably scared about X, has a different viewpoint on Y, etc.” I just want to be self-riotously angry for a minute. Brain, stop talking me out justifiable anger just for 15 minutes, ok? We can go back to being compassionate and rational and fair later.

I’m really sore today :sob:
I expected my feet to hurt more, but it’s just general overall lower body. And my bed was so cozy and warm and my apartment so cold (still have not turned heat on yet) that it was really hard to get out of bed before work. But I did.

I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH.

Whoops. To be clear, I want to be self-righteously angry, not self-riotously angry. Though I suppose that could work too.
