Ho bloody ho

Feeling -serverely- unappreciated at the moment. Just got in from work - it's just gone 11.30. No Christmas spirit for me. This morning my boss called me to one side and asked, 'are you going to need to work tomorrow? because if not we needn't come in."

OF COURSE I'M GONNA BE FRICKIN' WORKIN' TOMORROW. Have you even LOOKED how much work you've given me to do?

Jesus christ, over the christmas period I have more work to do than I do the averge deadline week. hey, it's more than a week til the 5th January right? Plenty of time. RIGHT, SO I'LL SIT AT HOME SETTING ADVERTS ON CHRISTMAS DAY SHALL I? SCREW YOU!

What really pissed me off was talking to my assistant, she's happy to come in over christmas, but she'd want paying for the day she has to work which everyone else gets off. fair enough, so she gets time and a half for coming in on the 29th. No mention of if I'll be in on the 29th. Oh no, yeah, you can set the paper those days, right? No problem.

Yep, and hey, to get this magazine finished, the only chance I will, how about I work another 4 days in the office on my own too? Won't that be nice.

Right.

That's it, right. Seriously these people, my boss especially, seem to be under the impression that immediately a page or advert reaches my tray it's whisked away by magical fairies and all I do is sit there looking busy. They seem to have no understading of there being a intervening period between me being given the work and the pages being finished.

No Christmas bonus this year either. So I'll be working an extra 4 days over Christmas for nothing. Not anything. Nothing. Jack all. You wouldnt have thought a fuking ACKNOWLEDGEMENT would be too much hassle would you? Even a thank you would be better than the total ignorance.

Really really fucked off with being totally unappreciated. Almost tempted to say fuck it, just go in the days I get paid and when the paper isn't finished just say 'tough luck'

Words will be said tomorrow.
