So, how about that shit going on in China? Making you nervous? Me too.
I'm going to take just a moment to bitch about work.
Today my management chain was changed. This is about the 10th time this has happened, and I report to yet a different person. She's OK and all, but this isn't someone with whom I work particularly well. She's someone that doesn't seem to know what to do with me. Make no mistake: I have skills that are useful to her. She just can't figure out how to use them. By now, she should know.
In any case, I'm not thrilled about that change, but the key problem here is that my old manager (the uber manager) announced this change or reporting structure in an open meeting. He nor the new manager never said a word to me. When I complained about this, I told him that I wish he hadn't done that and that it really bothered me. He said he'd "take that under consideration." What? I don't think I'm asking much there.
On top of all this, the meeting was called at 11am to happen at 11am with no notice. Since they only sent an e-mail, I missed the first 15 minutes of it since I don't look at my mail box every second. Furthermore, the new manager, who presumably knew what was going on, didn't even bother to tell me about the meeting...and she sits next to me! Bodes well for the future, eh?
I updated my resume on monster.com, but I'm not very serious about looking for a job. I'd just...rather not. I dearly wish this job were in Reston, and I can say that an interesting job in Reston or Herndon would be all it would take to get me out of here.
