My therapy sessions are every Thursday morning.
My boss has decided to implement monthly individual meetings with each of us.
She just e-mailed me to say that mine will be every second Thursday...
...occurring approximately half an hour after I get back from my session (not that she knows that's where I go every Thursday, but still, now I won't have time for lunch or to decompress or ANYTHING.)

In other news, I've been a nervous wreck all day and have been trying to avoid taking a Klonopin to settle down--but I may have to take one here in a minute. I had a job interview this morning, which went well. I don't know why I'm so keyed up about that. Well, I'm not. I'm keyed up because when I got in to work this morning after the interview, my boss had assigned me a bunch of work I have no hope of finishing by her impossible deadline. I had to tell her I probably wouldn't be able to meet the deadline because I have another project--which she KNOWS about but keeps conveniently forgetting. And, no, I can't let my intern do it as she suggested. I'm keyed up because I got another call this afternoon for an interview, and for this one I have to go online and take some typing tests and stuff. I've never had to do that before. I'm afraid my nerves will make me do worse than what my real abilities are.


((((HUGS))))
it sounds like you have a lot going on!
I am hoping for the best, Laura. I will keep my fingers crossed that you will get one of these new jobs & this boss & her unrealistic goals for you will be a thing of the past.
Take the tests slow & easy, unless they're timed. Remember to breathe. Think positively & make a list of your good points & what you can bring to these new jobs. You are a quality worker & that will shine through! Sending P&PT's your way. Keep us posted;) (((hugs))) jan
Well, I lasted until bed time last night before I took a Klonopin. I kept putting if off thinking I would feel better once I got home. Then it was I'll feel better once I eat supper. Finally I took one before I went to bed because I needed to be able to sleep and actually get to work on time this morning because...
Did I tell you guys my boss made me sign up for one of those hippy-dippy "reach your own potential" classes that HR offices sponsor? Does this sound like a good idea for a cynic like me who has too much work to do as it is, yet she KEEPS assigning work and deadlines? The class starts at 9 a.m. and runs 2 hours. It's once a week for 6 weeks.
Hush your mouth!
Actually, I was mistaken. It's only for FOUR weeks, not six as I originally feared. I just got out and yes, it was as horrible as I thought. We had to watch little workplace video scenarios using 3rd-rate actors wearing clothes dating back to the mid-1990s. Shudder. At least I found out I'm not the only one my boss made go to this. I thought maybe I was being singled out or something, but there was another person from my office in there. I wish I knew what the point was. I can't believe that this is costing our department $65 per person.
Just your luck, isn't it Laura?!
