I'm still here, just still very down about work. I need to remember that I can only do so much, that my productivity is stunted when I am constantly interrupted with stupid things, and I need to continue to voice that fact so that when someone tries to give me a hard time about my level of productivity going down, I need to point out that right now I'm doing the job of 2 1/2 people. I also need to remember that I cannot and will not be forced to take responsibility for things that are beyond my control. I do pretty well on that last part considering the situation here, but I'm still left with far too much anxiety over it all. Thank goodness I document everything. In any case, steps have been taken to make a better situation for myself, and hopefully within the next month things will be better.
In other news, I really, really, really, really need a haircut. I have been trying to schedule one at the place I like to go for about 1 month and a half, and have canceled 4 appointments due to things that have come up. I'm afraid to schedule another appointment because I'm afraid I'll have to cancel it, but I really, really, really, really need a haircut.
That's all for now - I just needed to vent. On the bright side, I have a voice lesson tonight. Hopefully some progress will be made in finding exercises to get my upper register back to what it used to be...

It's good that you have some perspective on the job situation. It still sucks, but it sounds like you're doing a good job of being your own advocate.
And like you said in your last entry, now that you've closed on your house...you can look for a new job! :)
ooh, your voice lessons sound like my riding lessons (also on Weds night): I'm in a good mood looking forward to them, and then they relieve stress which keeps me in a good mood for a few more days....
I agree 100% with not taking resposnibility for things not under your control. I've been having to fight back on a few things recently (i.e. it is NOT my fault if raw materials do not arrive on time or production does not meet their deadlines....). however, getting others in the company to believe me is more difficult....
how short are you going to go?? i remember the viki of sophomore year with the sophisticated pixie cut!
Getting a haircut will probably do wonders for how you feel. I hope things get better!
Poor Viki! I hope that your plans work out for the job situation! I am the same about haircuts... in fact I don't even enjoy going to the salon. Yes, very un-woman-y.
