Well, here I am

After having been in hell at work until 8pm last night, I'm here this morning, with over 150 WS subjects and their parents (plus assorted support staff etc.) downstairs milling about. And I'm dealing with making videotapes for Dr. Idiot Boss.

Asleep. Asleep would be nice right now.

And to make matters worse

My flame-keeping shift started last night at sundown. Arrgh. I'm *not* in the right headspace to keep Her flame today. (I have the small LED lamp I use to symbolize Her flame on my desk right now, since I can't use an open flame).

Why this is hell. Nor am I out of it

One of the hallmarks of WS is hypersociability. I'm a borderline demophobe when confronted with large amounts of people I don't know.

So what job got dumped on me at the last minute? Mingling thoughout the day at the workshops and breakout sessions to get candid pictures.

Shoot me now. Just shoot me now.

(no subject)

You know, if someone, (particularly Dr. Idiot Boss), gives me two videotapes and asks me to make one tape with the contents of both tapes on it, I'm going to make a couple basic assumptions - like, oh, I dunno, that the tapes she gives me are actually the ones that she *WANTS* on the dammed video???

No, instead I get screamed at because rats ate her brain and she can't seem to distingish between a videotape with a subject singing on it and a MPEG clip of the *same* subject singing a different song, especially since the tape and file have the *same* name!!!! (The only difference being is that one has the subject singing a song to Alan Alda and the other has the subject singing a song to Dr. Idiot Boss.)

But somehow, the fact that she gave me the wrong dammed tapes is *my* fault. Something I rather bluntly and rudely said it was *not*, and that any errors are the result of *her* giving me the wrong materials, not her.

Only a few more hours of this shit before I can go home.

Tired

So, want to guess what I was having to do that was so all fired important that I had to abandon my plans for this holiday to work this dammed conference?

1) Make videotapes

2) Wander around and take pictures

Oh, and be a security blanket for Dr. Idiot Boss, because she would freak if she didn't have her entire fifedom under her micromanaging thumb.

Can we say "fed up with this shit" ?? Knew you could.
