Only 1 day till I fly to Atlanta! Yeah!!!

I've been alternating between squeaking all excited-like and vaguely anxious because people keep asking me questions about logistics. It's all good though.

And work is sucking! I don't like having to come in early, and I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] astrophysicat is going to be just as unhappy after driving me to the bus stop tomorrow morning at 6 am.

And the guy in the kitchen is all irate today about random shit. He's half venting, half freaking, and it's getting on my nerves. Actually, he just came in and he seems calmer, but still. Today's ire is mostly because the new cafe manager doesn't really communicate well with them. Though he's also still annoyed about the 9/11 thing, which is understandable. Oh, I'll explain, cause it's kind of weird.

See... the whole company is being allowed to come in a few hours late that day, so they can attend memorials and such in the area. Which is good. But they've decided they want to have a free continental breakfast that day, which means that *all* of *our* staff has to be here, on time, working through it. Which is not exactly going over well, though most of them don't know about it yet (which is why there aren't that many complaints yet). As admin, I can leave during that time, probably, but they can't, and oh, that is so not right. Besides it being a double standard, it's going to be a very tense day and stuff.

The service departments in a company are just second class citizens. No other way to have their cake and eat it too.

I'm mostly just stressed about going to Atlanta right now. I know I'll have a blast once I'm there, but contemplating getting ready, getting myself to the airport, etc. just feels like shit.

That work is going slow as hell, and we have stupid freaking group meeting this afternoon isn't helping any.
