Work Woes

On Monday my feet barely touched the ground, I was that busy. Half of the problems were purely user-created problems. People who don't know what they're doing, messing with the system. Not messing with their computer or their own files, but the system.


Tuesday wasn't much better, but I did get to sit down. Every day I see examples of children in adults' bodies. It's like half of my colleagues just didn't grow up. I'm also seeing the truth in a little knowledge is dangerous (not that I ever doubted the proverb) because certain members of staff are trying to fix problems themselves and are just making things worse. Much worse. And better yet; when you find the root of a problem and present this to the people responsible, they refuse to admit they were wrong by demanding that their wishes continue to be carried out despite the fact that they're making life harder for everyone involved.

It makes me want to rage. But recently a lot of things have had me mentally seething and frothing at the mouth. I feel really stressed out half the time. On Monday it was all I could do to stop myself from kicking something or shouting obscenities.

This morning I was greeted by yet more problems of a similar nature. I'm just trying to make sure it doesn't all get on top of me.

I'm working my way steadily through the Dark Heresy rulebook, but not as quickly as I would like. There is always something keeping me from just retreating into my room and reading. I finished writing up Adventure 06 To Solling last night and updated the D&D page on my GooglePages site. The link should also appear in the list of adventures here. On top of that I can't remember how long ago my last jog was. I just feel like there's a hive of buzzing insects rebounding about inside my head. I'd like a three day weekend. And my own place. And time. I feel more and more like the worker bees in my head.

One final note. I don't know if I mentioned this before, and it's not exactly breaking news, but GooglePages will, at some point, cease to exist. It will be replaced with the more-successful Google Sites. Fine. I'm thinking of transferring my GooglePages to Google Sites preemptively but before I do that I'll be making a test site to play about on.
