Back to Work
Spent a very boring morning going through my emails, made worse by one I was expecting to have received on Monday morning, which would have led to frantic work not being there.
Chased that up, to be told that even though my requirements weren’t especially specific (I’d have used the word “vague”, but I think that is not the way things are termed in this gone mad world), they still couldn’t find anything which fit them. So could they just send me what they had, and could I make do with that? I had no choice.
However, it’s still not good enough, so people are going to have to actually do some work in creating what I need, which I know is not what they want to hear. Hey ho, it’s got to be done.
Then spent half this afternoon sorting out a problem on somebody elses project, just because I know they are busy, and this is almost as important as my project. I did get a patronising, “Oh Anni, well done, you’ve managed to solve one of the defects!” “Pretty good going, don’t you think? Especially as it’s not even my project…” and it was a dumb problem to start with, caused by you, who thinks that to get something at 50% you have to put in a factor of 1, and not 0.5……….
Was nice to see LELI, who is already getting snowed under with his studying, so I think we might not be getting out to play quite so much in the near future. He was even in a good mood, and managed to reply to a work related email I sent him - which I knew was stupid as I sent it but knew it had to be sent, and had to go to him - with some humour! Not bad for a maths geek!
Creepy A is still creeping me out. It’s getting worse - I am not even sure if he is doing anything different, or if it is just my reaction to him. Actually, I am sure it is worse, but only because I am now working on a project with him, which gives him even more excuses to hang around my desk than he previously had.
