shipperxYou know, being on vacation was SO DAMN NICE!
Had the last two weeks off. Ah peace, lazy mornings, no irritating people. Now I'm back at work. Work sucks! It's not really that what I do is irritating. I actually do enjoy drawing. It's just that so far this week -- Monday I worked until 8pm, Tuesday to 8pm, Wed. to 9pm, and tonight until 11:20pm all for some arbitrary in-house deadline for a set of drawings that aren't going to be finished anyway (I just don't want to have to work this weekend) and, I suppose that it was working late yet again that had the intern from hell working my LAST NERVE. It really doesn't seem to matter what in the hell I do, it's alway up to her to criticize. And who the hell is she? Someone who dropped out of college and isn't an architect (nor able to sit for the exam). Ugh! Everytime we sort of review what we have left in order to get the job done she starts off "Oh, I think we changed that. We aren't going to do it that way" (And I'm talking office standards and practices. How drawings are set up and noted). Well, excuse me, if the drawings are supposed to be done TOMORROW and they haven't decided how they are to be done, exactly how in the hell are they supposed to be finished?!
Part of this has to do with the VP who was hired and has pretty much taken over. He has wanted to change everything... of course he usually forgets to tell you how something has changed until AFTER you finish it. Then you have to redo it. And the intern from hell has her nose so far up his butt it's disgusting. Frankly, it's one thing having to put up with an overfull of himself VP, but putting up with it from this little intern is infuriating. She's just irritating the hell out of me.
Did I mention that vacation was nice?
In fictional bad mood. I found it depressing yesterday realizing the number of people I'm friends with who are now ex-Spike fans. It just irritates me that ME has done that to do many people. They ruined something that once was so entertaining. Then I was reading a board where there was mention of some of JM's old quotes from early in the summer about how Buffy never loved Spike and belongs with Angel, yadda, yadda, yadda--fishcakes. Isn't it strange that even though I'm as loud as anyone can be saying that Buffy didn't love Spike, it still bothers me to read JM saying it. What's more, it makes me want to puke when he (or anyone) says she should be with Angel. Again, I just am haunted by what might have been, what should have been. That potential was wasted and for what? B/A bullshit? Blech! Once upon a time, I was a B/Aer. Now, I've grown to really loathe that ship. Just loathe it. And then reading a friend's LJ and being reminded of Fury saying when he wrote LMPTM that he couldn't really write Spike as hero and that's why he had him put on the coat. So, as if I wasn't already depressive about AtS, I'm more so now (although, admittedly this is exacerbated by being peeved about work).
Sigh. I'm so damn negative at the moment. I really should find something to be positive about. Something happy. I'll probably have to find some book with a guarenteed happy ending this weekend or rent a video or something.
Positive thing:
I did make it through a stressful day without breaking my diet. So, there. Something positive. (I really am becoming worried about how negative I've become lately. I need a fictional obsession that has some happiness to it (unlike all things Spike). Too damn bad that Farscape and X-Files are mostly dead. They were my fannish obsessions in the past. Unfortunately, can't really choose our fannish obsessions, they tend to choose us. I need a fictional character to obsess over who isn't doomed.

Sorry about the intern too. She sounds like a complete pain.
Oh, and I find B/A utterly repugnant too. I read your rant on the subject on Sparklies and agreed with every word - more so since I have daughters around the age that Buffy was when she met Angel. How ME can promote B/A as something good, I have no idea. Oddly, Fury and Minear seemed to see that it had its seedy side in their Succubus Club interview last year.
