susandennisWell, Son of Roomba, I guess I should say, is back home and charging up getting ready for battle. It is squeaky clean. And has new brushes and everything. I put bumpers on it - actually foam weather stripping - basically to keep it from whacking the furniture. I'm thinking a thud might be easier on the ears.
I've got a little work situation that is making my neck tight. There is one project for which I am kind of a project manager. I suck at it. And I hate it. Gimme crap you want coded in XML and a deadline and I'm a happy camper. Gimme shit that I've got to coordinate with 4 different people, 3 of whom are major Drama Queens (and for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
henare's education, only one of those DQ's is gay) and I just lose it.
At least this time I did everything correctly. I informed everyone promptly and promised nothing that was outside of my control. And I honestly would not be unhappy to report back to one of the clients involved that I cannot meet her deadline. She's a bitch of the highest order who pretty much thinks I'm her personal servant. And her escalation path on this deal is right to a guy she is totally intimidated by so her hands will be tied with a bow. I gotta say this would not make me unhappy.
Oh and I warned my boss twice that this might be happening and he blew me off both times. So I can just enjoy the view from atop my high horse. But it does make my neck tight.
