Dear God, in a meeting this morning we were informed that mandatory overtime has been extended through February and increased from 5 hours a week to 7. As soon as that meeting was over I headed to my drawer of tea. If it hadn’t been work hours it might have been something stronger that went into the cup!
This really is a lovely cup. Smooth and strong, just what a morning calls for, especially after getting news you really didn’t want.
I’m going to like that extra money on the check. Say it again: I’m going to like that extra money on the check.
(and just between us, my boss is a jerk. That has nothing to do with the overtime. It’s more about my teensy little raise. My 14.5 years in this position and the experience I bring is worth a he!! of a lot more than 1.2%)

Thanks OMGsrsly. I think if I had a different personality make up I would be happy. I’m off now for drinks with friends and co workers, so I think I’ll be ranted out (that’s like worn out, right?) and happily tipsy soon. Not to worry. I’ve arranged a sober ride home.
:( I wish you the best! That sounds like a frustrating situation.

:) Drinks sound like a good plan.
Sorry to hear about the rough day. :( Glad you had an awesome tea to help you through it!
