Next week I'm running a leadership planning meeting. I edited out a bunch of complaining. Suffice to say I'm really nervous about getting dressed down in front of my entire staff by this new boss we've got, who seems to only know how to dress people down. cruft fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Sep 15, 2023 |

Like, the mall shift manger knows how to yell at people and I think a lot of folks expect management to just be yelling. But in my experience, people work a lot better when you're able to help them play on their strengths toward a goal shared by the team. I dunno. I just need to get 15 more years in. |

i worked with this tiny old man today. He was easy to talk woth and the conversation stayed pretty light. On the way out, he shook my hand and then went "oh! I should have warned you...I tested positive..." "...for being short and sassy."

It seems like the interview went well and there's maybe an offer on the table, but I'm not sure. Also it'd be a step down in title (which is fine) and probably less pay. I don't know what the deal is totally. I'm kind of not very sold on the work schedule which seems like it may be shifts. I loving hate shift scheduling. Also they do double batch brew days every time they brew because they have a 150 liter electric brewhouse and a few 300 liter tanks. But I don't think that changes without a change happening to the head brewer's schedule and I don't want to step on toes. I don't know. I also got a text asking if I was interested in a job at a new brewery. The problem is they're being really vague about everything so I get the impression that they don't have anything set and they're probably a year or two away from opening if it ever moves forward. Feels like more than likely that they're one of those places that's going to say they want to open a 300 liter brewery with like 4 FVs and they want to focus on lagers.

Hot tip if you wanna keep your job: it's poor form to whine to me that you don't have enough meetings, then cancel 3/4ths of the meetings booked because they're "too far" when they're in the established zones you're traveling to and within ten minutes of each other, and then tell me again you don't have enough meetings. AaaaaAAAAAAA.

work is dragging rear end about my updated offer letter and it's gone from annoying to genuinely worrisome especially because i'm supposed to train someone today who i'm supervising, but technically i'm not actually promoted yet (even though it was supposed to go into effect the 16th) awkward grimace emoji edit: finally got this poo poo sorted omg Scuba Trooper fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Sep 19, 2023 |

I have a meeting on Sunday with someone who I thought had a brewery or brewery adjacent job offer for me. Turns out it's just for some AI brewery consultant bullshit. Gonna have to figure out how to politely decline now.

It's okay. You go to work, put in your hours, and most days stop working at 17:00 feeling like you accomplished some things. Sometimes you don't get that feeling, and for me, those days are pretty rough. Then you get up the next day and do it again and hope you can turn the feeling around. For years my philosophy has been that if they want to pay me to sit in this dumbass irrelevant meeting, I'll do it. But I don't think some of you are paid enough to suffer the bullshit you write about. On the other hand, I'm not so naïve to think that there are loads of good paying middle class jobs, that would let you buy a car, a house, and support a family of four, floating around this economy. I'm sad that everything's so messed up, economically, compared to what my father got to experience. When I was younger I had a job in the mall making coffee. Customers would make me have to go into the back to cry pretty regularly. cruft fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Sep 20, 2023 |

I have to give a presentation tomorrow and it's loving up my brain. I don't get nervous about public speaking, and I know the subject matter so thoroughly that I know I can just riff off whatever's on the current slide and be fine. It's not giving the presentation that's getting to me it's everything surrounding it. It's a day long seminar in another city. I have to be at the office at 6am so we can drive the company car and get there by 8am. My presentation is at 9:30, which means I'll be done with the poo poo I care about by 10:30 and have to spend the rest of the day listening to other people speak about subjects barely tangentially related to my job. And it's a networking opportunity so I have to make myself talk to the people around me at lunch and between lectures and jesus just kill me now. It's all of my least favorite things about this job (travel, networking, wearing "professional attire", pretending I give a poo poo about this awful industry) crammed together in one day. My kid had a stomach bug yesterday and I honestly caught myself thinking that it would be nice if I caught it and had to skip the whole thing just to stay home and puke all day. My brain is so caught up with how much tomorrow is going to suck that I can't bring myself to accomplish the most basic work stuff. It's ridiculous and it's actively making my job more stressful but I can't seem to break through it. My brain is an rear end in a top hat and I'm just so sick of its bullshit. gently caress a job and thanks for tolerating my whining. |

poo poo, only a day and a half until the two sevenths of my week my time is truly my own. my boss reminded me today that there's a sign up sheet by the time clock, to go to a haunted house on Saturday. lmfao a he forgot I was one of the four people he told yesterday because I guess I don't make any impression on this dude, and b it's one of the vanishingly slim number of hours I don't have to answer to him or the other managers, so suck my loving rear end if you think I'm going on Saturday you dumb bitch |

The dentist told me that my toothache was due to stress. I don't need a root canal, I just need to stop clenching my teeth. Today I gave my teams 90 minutes each to finalize their documentation. One team loudly goofed off for 83 minutes; when I asked if they were close to finishing, they informed me that I had said they didn't have to. I don't lose my poo poo. But if I did, I would have done it then. |

Scuba Trooper posted:i grind my teeth so bad that i literally cracked one and had to have it pulled, so consider a mouthguard at night Dentist checked for that and said there wasn't any evidence of grinding: I'm clenching. And I'm pretty sure I'm doing it during the day, because I've been catching myself doing that when I'm tense. We'll see. Kinda nice to have the early warning sign of a big ol' headache. And I know exactly what stressed me out this time: it was the meeting this week. |
