full of hate this morning. i was pretty much on time for getting to work until i got stopped on university by construction workers for 10 minutes, waiting for their hugeass crane to lift crap up onto the building they are constructing. 10 minutes sitting there trapped in the middle of the block with nowhere to go. so of course my manager is already here when i arrive. (how is it that she always seems to come in after 9 when i'm here on time or early but somehow is here before me when i'm late?!) so i express my displeasure at the situation that made me about 10 minutes late, and she just gives me this smug look and jots something down on a post-it note, most likely recording my arrival time to harangue me with at my review. not a single word or even grunt, just this silent look of superiority. for the first time since i've been working here i actually felt like quitting. grr.

That's lousy.

You need a red stapler.

Certainly sexier, but less threatening...

That's the scariest thing for me working at my first job in the real world, how they save all the haranguing at the review. It's like year-end professor evaluations. What good do they do?

:( that sucks. Have you had other unpleasant review experiences with your manager?

let's just say that we have differing styles... it is a constant source of stress and annoyance for us both.
