When work politics gets in the way of work

There are times when the politics of work, make it very hard to actually do the work that needs to be done. I am currently going through this in my department, where the manager is realizing that the few of us who actually come to work to, you know, work, are getting very frustrated with the others who are dragging along. Sadly, instead of doing something to remove the problem, the problem just gets worse due to crappy management. Something will change that only half of the department will follow for more than 2 or 3 days, and that just makes the entire situation worse, as it puts even more work on those who follow the guidelines set forth for them. This could end up being a long week here at work. Today is Cinco de Mayo though, so maybe a pitcher of margaritas will help with the BS.

Its not faire

Well my plans for the weekend took a major turn this weekend. Saturday was a day of getting stuff done around the house as planned, and some time getting everything ready to go to the faire today. Well I woke up around 7:00 this morning and got on my computer to check email etc. While checking my Twitter friends list, I saw a tweet from a cast member that the faire was canceled today. I called the Clarksville contingent and let them know so that they didn’t all drive down only to be turned away. Apparently the parking lot was just a bog due to all of the recent rain. The bad thing is that rain is forecast all week, so I am going to remain hopeful that the parking lot will be usable next weekend. If it isn’t, ten maybe another trip down to GARF will be in order.
