that I feel really ready to walk away from Dilbertville. On Monday we got the schpiel about the PTO calendar for next year- same info as every year. This year they altered how much time people get, and obviously the mucky-muck manager was stressed out because they have to let more people off. We got this scolding speech of if you want a day- or even part of a day- off, and that day is full, don't even ask. The answer will be no. Questions? Me: if a day is full and something unexpected comes up- say, a funeral- that a person will go do despite not having asked because the answer will be no... do you want us to tell you if we're going to do this thing, or we just call in or don't show up or leave early? I'm willing to be considerate and give them a head's up for something like that. I got the same the answer will be no, and it will count as an occurence (unexcused absence) blah blah heartless blah. My manager understood my question- and yes, that would be nice. But my god! Pull the stick outta dude's arse!
I thought you know, I don't need to deal with this. We're being browbeaten and finger-waggled about taking the time off that we've already been given. WTF? Corporate crap.
And on days like this (grey, cool and rainy) I really don't feel like playing the Dilbert game and working on a spreadsheet. I have paintings I could be completing!
But I haven't made any money from painting yet. It's disappointing. It's the cruddy economy. In a way, I think it's good that I'm starting to show publicly in hard economic times, because business can only get better from here.
