Shout… Shout - Get it all out
Finally on my way home… too much work today… some time wasted in meetings were people do their little power games and think a monologue is the best way to lead a discussion and treating others as they have no clue or cannot grasp the idea… wasting my time with going through the same thing ten times just for the sake of it and blablabla all the time…
So far about the being professional!? Can’t people leave their personal anger (?) or is it annoyance or disappointment or self-pity or what ever it is they feel because they got negative feedback out of they way for their last weeks on the project..?
Then somebody blocked the printer for half an hour at 19:30 printing a 300 slide presentation 3 times in color… (really needed???) and made me miss my earlier train as I was waiting for charts to be printed which I now had to hang up in the whole building alone, as I could not work on it until late… as I was stuck in these stupid meetings…
ok I was not so much upset taking the later 20:22 train… would be home shortly before 10pm.. but despite all the nice people who asked if they could help with hanging up the charts on their way out of the office… somebody of course needed to make a comment on the numbers.. not right… blabla… told person xyz to change it… blabla… well nobody told me (actually I think the numbers are right)… blabla… and it is not the people who present these statistics who spend twice half a day a week at least just updating all of this sh*** but me… they actually don’t have a clue how this is all populated with extracts and 10 different macros etc…. so this comment made me really angry and I had to calm myself down to not start an argument with this person…. Would not be too professional either… don’t know why this bothers me soo much. I guess because the charts look nice.. but nearly nobody sees the long hours behind them to set it up (20 tab workbook…), update it twice a week with data from 4 different project plans to actually track the status of over 1000 document divided into 11 categories…
Well at least there are some people on the project who really value my work and come to me with questions and understand the big task behind all these pretty charts…
So some more Jack Johnson on the train, some deep breaths and I guess I am fine again… ready to get up tomorrow morning, catch the train to Basel and do some more work…. And yes you might have guessed it… some more work on the statistics ;)
