Not a Bad Place�

2002-09-12

Well, I guess I should feel ashamed of my tirade of yesterday. I don't, but I feel like I should. Two of my bosses spent a large part of their days today trying to make my job easier. "We'll get you a ZIP code list. It's updated monthly." That's great. That will allow me to be more accurate. but it won't make my work any easier. I already have a ZIP code list. It's just old.

They also talked to someone in another division who's doing the much the same thing that I am (only he hasn't been doing it as long). They thought he could give me some pointers. He's a man, doncha know. I sat and listened to him complain to my boss for fifteen minutes. He's worse off than I am. He doesn't know the software as well as I do. I bit my toungue firmly and tried very hard to keep the smile off of face. It's nice to feel justified every once in a while. I don't very often.

And I forget the nice things about work. I walked across to our other building and no less than ten people said 'Hi' to me. By name. There are a lot of nice people here. And it really is a good company to work for. I guess I really need to focus more on the good things. Better for my brains, not to mention my outlook.
