If my life was a movie, right now, folks would sitting in the audience murmuring about the obvious foreshadowing. "Look at the way he's coughing and how tired he is -- he's going to die of consumption! Go to the doctor before it's too late!" Ok, maybe I'm not Julianne Moore from The End of the Affair. But I am having a hard time getting completely better. Probably because I keep having to show up at work and get all this stuff done.
I must also take a moment to gripe about a work situation. Since Mr. Mister left, my co-worker has not been as anal about showing up at 8:30 or 8:45 as her timesheets imply. Which I don't really care that much about, since I truly believe one can open the office in 2 minutes flat. But it DOES bother me when THREE times this week I've gotten to the office before her (I show up between 8:55 and 9:05) and I have to turn on the phones etc. and answer them. And then at between 4:30 and 4:45, she packs up her bags and leaves. It's somewhat demoralizing. Well, maybe not that extreme. And I do believe she gets paid the same or more than me.
My boss (and current acting Mr. Mister, positionwise) has been witness to a couple late occurrences, and although she's not the anal taskmaster of Mr. Mister, she does notice things and file them away for future reference.
I'm not trying to be judgmental -- I obviously shirk, since I'm writing in LJ right now. But I've also done 2-3 small tasks already this morning, and as soon as I'm done typing, I'll get several more things done. I'm just a fast worker, and although I could be using the extra time I save on starting new projects, I admit I'm not ambitious enough to go way above and beyond the call of duty, so I use the time for myself. And I at least make myself present in the office for the minimum of 8 hours. So even though I'm not exactly employee of the year, next to her, I look like a type-A personality.
Ok, this is not the first time I've complained about this (see previous entries), but it definitely goes through cycles, and right now things seem a bit worse. It probably doesn't help that I feel like crap and wish I could be in bed, but instead I'm at the office working harder than she is while healthy.
Additional apologies to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
freakysparks for missing out on the festivities last night -- Mr. Brown told me he had a good time watching you be spanked!
Back to drinking tea and filing and data-entering.
