Every time the world of work tilts, even just 1 degree, I get very nervous. I head for the Kozy Shack display. I don't like it.
For the past month or so, the Big Boss's admin has been driving me crazy with projects that she seemed to just pull out of...um..thin air. She gave me no reason. She just threw things at me and turned away. Then would come back the next day expecting a week-long project to be done.
Last week, she and Tinkerbell wrote a document. It is hideous. It is vile. It was grabbed from my hands and in the end, what I saw made me slightly ill.
Then the Big Boss sent me an email, telling me that I was going to be working at least two hours a day with This Other Team. I've done it before. It's basically clerical work and I've stepped in to give them a hand before. I'm truly happy to go where I'm needed.
But I feel like things are shifting, that BB's Admin is elbowing me out. If anyone's having a manic episode, she is. I don't know what's got up her butt and she won't talk to me about it. Of course, I put the questions to her more politely. I don't get answers. Is she really so scatterbrained or is there Something Up?
I promise you, I have had none of the paranoia-inducing drugs that I took for pain back in May.
But of course we'll see as the days go on what really is meant to happen. And I think now would be as good a time as any to panic about money. All part of my program to drive myself just a little crazier. Especially when I realized this morning that yes, I still am essentially living paycheck to paycheck.
It was not a good day to be me. I hope tomorrow will be.

It is simple she does not want to be an admin anymore. Something happened that made her believe she is above all that and should be promoted, and paid more. Seen it before and it is not pretty.
Is the BB's Admin's job on the line? Is she on shaky ground? Did she get a bad performance review? That may be why she's acting odd. Just an idea ...
Well, I did realize a couple of things today. BB's Admin may be just as whack as I am. She also kind of lords it over me that she goes to all of these very nice places on vacation for free. (All of my vacation days have been taken for medical things this year.) I think FMC's pegged it. She's feeling the pull of ambition and she's pure Jersey Girl and doesn't give a damn who she steps on to get what she wants.
And, as we say in Jersey, P.S., Big Boss likes my work. I don't think that's where it's coming from.
