Mean Monday

I dunno what it is about me today, but I am in a really crabby mood.
'k, more than usual.
I've been (more) snide and (more) snippy with (more) peeps today than I usually am. Full metal lizard.
I told off the head of a committee who probably outranks me. I did this not once, but twice today. Career suicide? Mebbe. I did offer to help by participating on a team to investigate more efficient ways they could operate ...
I sent a nasty diatribe to an ambulance company that's been harassing us. Our insurance company paid them in full more than 5 months ago, but they made a clerical error they've refused to investigate in spite of MANY communications from me, including proof of payment to them.
I got snippy with the manager of a test team because one of his testers made one of my developers do extra work to no avail.
I yelled at the Mobile Devices team because the calendar tool on my cell phone is crappy.
I think they need to form teams consisting of roving bands of hunters armed with blow pipes and tranquilizer darts around here. When I get like this, one of the hunters can stalk me and deliver some happy juice.
I could use a little happy juice.
Tagz: Cranky, Me! Me!

LOVE THAT!!!
Unlike you unpatriotic types, I was off work today and went to the mall to spend money on stuff I don't need. OMG, I got the cutest shooze ever!!

I can empathize, but I can't give a reason why. When I get like that it's usually because I'm caught up in a Catch 22 sort of phase in my life. I'd do this, if I could just do that, but I can't do that because I'm doing the other!
Hang in there. I'll bet you've got some good guesses as to why you're where you are, and the good news is you're a determined, intelligent woman who seeks out good things for herself. Don't be too down on yourself. Just think of yourself as the temporary sharpener of those in your life who need some of their own rough edges filed down a bit. ;-)
There are just days, ya know? I had one over the weekend. Really, from Wednesday afternoon to yesterday just SUCKED WIND!! A confluence of bullcrap led me to the brink of feeding lye laced seed to the birds in the back yard just so someone ELSE would get hurt...
Fortunately I got over *that* before anything bad happened, but the kids don't want me to cook for them for awhile.
"I told off the head of a committee who probably outranks me. I did this not once, but twice today. Career suicide?"
Puhleaze gekko, don't worry so much. I've looked two different bosses at different companies in the eye and said "Fuck you if you think I'll do that" and in both cases got a raise within a year. Of course you better be right... otoh if you see things that differently than your co-peeps you're prolly in the wrong place anyhow.
"I could use a little happy juice."
Try some Kickapoo Joy Juice, it wurks gud.
Hey Looners, hows ya beans? Yah, still tickin at mw. Was that a trick question? Prolly, eh? Stay well, see ya when an' where.
Nope, just wonderin'. I become an uglier version of me when I'm there, so I just have to stay away...
Ugly enough as it is :-)

Same here, because I'm feeling like crap but not bad enough to stay home from work. Luckily, I had some non-phone work that I could spend the day on.
