You arrive at work today and check your messages to find that your boss has indirectly called you out to the rest of the management team. The message implies that you don't work hard enough and are too incompetent to follow directions. Upon reading the message, you are dazed (save ends). After saving, you are angered and take a -5 penalty to all CHA checks for the remainder of the night.
All my rage! I don't guess I should be surprised, though. I should have known by now not to trust anyone (at work) with even the most petty comments. Our store is competing with another store under the same ownership, so the competition should be pretty intense. I made a comment to a friend who works at that store, that I thought his store would win. That comment made its way back to my store and the GM, after which she made the implication that I just needed to work harder. This was the final straw.
Tomorrow before work, my supervisor is meeting with me and the GM. With any luck, the situation will be resolved. If I need to transfer to a different store, then so be it. I'm tired of being the one to actually enforce policies, then get chastised for enforcing them!
My PS3 has made such an outstanding impression that I see no need to keep my 360. The one thing the 360 does better (games), is the one thing I don't have time for. Netflix on PS3 is better, the internet on PS3 is better, and I don't have to pay a yearly fee to use either of those. Yesterday I used it to play one of my YouTube videos for some friends without having to crowd around a computer monitor. I also used it to get "Like a Boss" stuck in my wife's head. Thanks PS3!
Kennedy can't stop getting sick. She had tubes put in and now she has bronchitis. I hope she doesn't end up as sick as I was as a child. If so, we're in for some difficult years. On a positive note, the doctor said her ears are looking great, and her speech has improved dramatically since the tubes!
Oh, and Nigel still hasn't had his final night. We ended up doing some prep work for my d20 Modern campaign, which I'll write about next time. We took a pretty unorthodox method of character generation, but then, this is going to be a pretty unorthodox campaign.
I have myself never seen the value of an xbox. Period.
ReplyDeleteBut I do understand ill children as well as work conflicts. I've known a lot of both before my current situation. Just take solace in the fact, even sick your child is in better shape and that you are blessed to have her in your life as things are. She'll get better and in years to come she will be a healthier little source of mischief. I promise!
Work will resolve itself, one way or another. All you have to do is hold firm to your own principles and never be forced to concede to what isn't right. At the end of the day if you did your job and did it right, and can hold your head high; that's all that matters. Leave politics to the politicians(+2 to all checks vs. sense snake if both faces are visible.).
And if ever you need a source for agitated rants to be heard without possible reprisal; I have a few levels in the confidant prestige class.
