Knives in the Dark...

Wow. Work today was pretty damned crazy. My vendor selection project hit a bit of a bump as some hidden relationships that were hidden (and we dug for them) from our project director and I finally came to light. They have some strategic implications, so I'm not entirely sure what is going to happen now. I feel we were taken advantage of, not by the possible vendor but by people who shouldn't have been skulking in the shadows on this. Very frustrating.

I also got pulled into another project in my normal teams, and I'm at the point where I need to have a serious conversation with the boss folks. I can keep doing this sort of work, but if you expect me to make deadlines and be as proficient as we all want, the lower-level tasks I'm doing need to be off-loaded. I have some plans for how that could happen, but a part of me is concerned I'll be told to stick with the stuff I want offload while other people will get the things I really enjoy doing. Corporate life is such a draining and delicate dance. I've gotten way better at it, but it's still a pain in the ass.

Slept better last night. Slept most of the night through without waking up once. This made me happy. Very happy. The only thing that would have been better would have been being able to sleep in. Neither the doggy nor I wanted to get up this morning.

And now, I'm off to watch Top Chef: Masters.

It's rare for me when that happens. Rare but very welcome.

I am glad you got more sleep.

I hope the work craziness gets sorted out.

I really hope things will settle down. It doesn't look like that's happening any time soon, but hope springs eternal, I guess.
