work
so i stopped by the firm this morning. mainly to procrastinate some more, but also to deal with some timesheet crap from last month. i also wanted to see my secretary and wish a happy new year to a few folks. and to have the IT guy fix my laptop which i totally f*cked up trying to install examsoft. of course i had to listen to IT guy bitch & moan for a solid 15 minutes about how i should *never* try to install non-work-related software & how i shouldn't even know the administrator password, and how this was going to take him 5 hours to fix & how the firm will be charging me for his time, and on and on. give me a freakin' break. first of all, this guy is a full-time employee of the firm, so if they charge me for his "time" (which he claims is $50/hr), well then i'll tell you what i'm gonna do -- i'm probably gonna take it right up the ass & pay the firm because i don't know what other recourse i possibly have and i'm not really in any position to be stirring the pot since i still haven't passed this damn exam & i'm yet again taking more time away from work.
but what really concerned me today, and the reason i'm even posting this, is because my secretary said that the managing partner wanted me to stop by his office when i came in (i was supposed to stop by the office yesterday when i returned from vacation to fix the timesheet). and then she looked at me kind of weird & looked around a bit as if to see if anyone was watching. now this scared the hell out of me. she didn't actually *say* anything, but it certainly looked as if something was wrong. i went down to managing partner's office & thank god he wasn't in & then i grabbed my backpack & left the building as soon as possible.
now here's what i'm thinking -- managing partner is probably going to give me a good "talking to" and let me know that if i don't pick it up a notch & pass this time they are going to shitcan me as soon as humanly possible (which i can't believe they haven't already done). or he's going to shitcan me as soon as i walk into his office. either way, all i know is that there's no way i'm walking back into that firm anytime soon. and if i get an email suggesting otherwise, then i'm going to make up every excuse in the book not to show up for at least a month. i just don't need that stress right now...
