Thursday – January 24th – 2008
Today started off like any other day. I was up early and headed off to work. When I got into work I was greeted with an email requesting for me to attend a meeting this coming Monday. The meeting is in regards to one of the departments that I run. Later in the day my boss asked me why this Supervisor called this meeting. I told him that I didn't know. My boss said he would look into it. My work day was very busy but ok. In the middle of the afternoon my boss asked to see me in his office. He asked me to close the door, this is never a good sign. He went on to tell what this meeting is about. As it turns out the Supervisor that runs the other side of this department is saying some nasty untruths about me. She saying that the department is a wreck and in short I'm causing the dept. to lose money and that I'm wasting everyone's time. This is the same Supervisor that seems to take great pride in yelling and screaming at me in front of other people. This sucks, I'm so pissed but I can't show any emotion. I need to be the rock and let her own attitude bring herself down. People will side with her because people like to believe that I'm an ogre. I look different and I have a quicker mind and or wit and that works against me. Not to mention she's a Supervisor and I'm not. Luckily my boss is not believing in her and he seems to have my back. I had a good conversation with him and I seem to have an ally. Either that or I'm really being set up. This conversation with my boss really fired me up! I know I can't show emotion, I know that I must talk and present myself to perfection in this meeting but I also know that ( in my opinion) nothing can dispute the facts. I spent the rest of my afternoon putting together percentages, facts and explanations. I gathered all the year end financial information as well as the random month of December. I even went as far as taking a daily sample of facts, figures and percentages. Not only am I looking good, I'm looking better than I myself even thought. I showed my findings to my boss and he was happy and is feeling good about the meeting. I left work pissed and hurt. On my home I called slave barb to let her know my mental state. I can't see any reason to keep my priceless slave in the dark. Transparency goes both ways. After the call I went to the gym and proceeded to have an amazing workout! I was pissed and I took it out on the weights. That was a good deal. I was pleased with my workout. Once I got home I felt distant. I hope I wasn't too distant. I guess slave barb holds the key to that answer.
