Part of my job, when I process new hires, is to add them in to our MS Project resource pool. Everyone I add in there, from interns to VPs, gets marked as costing $175 an hour. This includes me. Apparently I'm worth $175 an hour to somebody. I just wish I knew who.
I'm spending all of tonight connected to my corporate network by VPN and performing system administration. Add people to this, that, and the other thing. I've got six new hires to enter tonight at approximately a half hour each. That's not mentioning the termination I have to process, which I'll probably pass on tonight.
Usually things arent this bad. This week I've just had a significantly increased volume of emails and calls, a big rush of new hires (I got four this week whereas we usually only have one or two), and on top of that, my immediate superior is on vacation in Aruba. Must be nice.
I was going to stay at my computers and work through lunch as I usually do, but Evil Bob convinced me to go with him and get food, which I'm glad of. We stopped at the same Chinese buffet where I got the weird fortune cookie of my last entry, and I bought him lunch to return the favor of his doing so for me last time. I had Hunan Trio and asked for it extra spicy. It was pretty good, and when asked by our waiter at the end if it was spicy enough, I said "Almost." He responded with a promise to make it hotter for me next time. Nifty! I'm sure it still won't be up the standards of the Thai place Andrea and I used to visit, and I would prefer a noodle dish like I always had there rather than the Hunan cuisine from today, but it was definitely good.
I've been really on-edge most of this week and I've been occasionally bad to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wooisme, so I apologize. I wanted to try to make up for it by making her tea after work today and having her lay down in bed with it while I did something like reading to her, but she was so busy with Ebay and I with my stuff that it didn't quite happen. Maybe on Friday. I know tomorrow she may be gone most of the day so I'm not sure how that will work out.
I'll stop rambling now and go back to work.
