Hu-fucking-zzah! For anyone following my utterly tedious work sitcho, it is finally SIGNIFICANTLY better after some feet were solidly put down at today's meeting. I have time frames! And $ figures! And direction! And managed to tell our overbearing yet thoroughly incompetent admin/"HR" to (a) stop patronising me (not in those words) and (b) that her particular processes might be protecting the business, but if she was so genuinely concerned about my well being then her officious way of doing things and dragging them out 1000% didn't help (almost in those words).
Definitely much better work life balance coming up, I CAN LET GO OF MY OLD PROJECTS FUCK YES, and I can genuinely taste the freedom to finally start moving on, whether it be here or elsewhere. Now, if only my rent wasn't so high - but at least it won't change until next April. Feeling p good right now. I'm much happier with the uncertainty (atm) of the next chapter vs the dread of staying on.
Until then... Hectic couple of weeks before the role change!
E: soxcat tax as it's her last night here. She's been an exceptional kitty the last few days. Love this little bunch of fur and cuddles.
prrrr
Hooray!!
Only a few more weeks and when the change happens I hope that everything starts to feel way better for you!
Woohoo !! Finally something really positive, congratulations.
Well done!!! I actually had a very similar meeting today so sending you all the vibes! Also kitty is adorable :)
