It's Monday?

[feren]

No, after checking the calendar I'm quite certain that it's Friday. So why am I going into work armed to the teeth to do battle with my manager today, as if it's Monday? This is bogus. I don't care what he says, I am not going to Ohio next week. I'm already going to nine campuses, two of which I wasn't even supposed to go to and I picked up as a favor to one of the other engineers. Now I'm expected to go to Ohio, too, just because I'm the single guy? No, I don't think so.

I very well may get written up for flat-out refusing to do something my manager tells me to do. If so, so be it; it will be the sign I need to get the hell out of that company that I've been looking for. I hope, I really hope that by going in and calmly explaining I'm one of FOUR engineers, but I'm handling HALF of the campuses already -- and that I'm taking two of those as a favor to another engineer as it is -- that I don't think it's fair. Maybe if I offer to do it over the phone he'll back down.

These campus audits are a load of shit, anyway.

On the positive side.... I have a weekend coming. I will spend time with Jen, and then on Saturday evening I will hang with Roho, Kestral, Jen and Aureth at a nearby Cajun restaurant that Kes and Roho have discovered. Sunday will be a trip down to Aureth's to do some cable work. Outside of that, it should be a quite, relaxing 48 hours. I hope so, anyways. I need to relax.

Good luck dealing with your manager.

By the way, please post if the Cajun place turns out to be any good, I've been looking for a decent Cajun restaurant around here. The last one I went to in the area, a place in Wheeling with the initials C.B., managed to food poison about half of the group I went with, making for an unpleasant next couple of days. If this is where you're going, you'll probably be fine, but you might want to stay away from the jambalaya just to be on the safe side.

That's where we're going ;P I've et there before, and never been poisoned, but...I definitely appreciate the warning ;) Food tasted good the last time at least! (Then again, so does raw cookie dough, and that's nice and capable of causing food posoning)

I was gonna go for the muffuletta, hard to food poison someone with that ;) There's another Cajun place, around Arlington Heights/Mount Prospect, called Cajun Kitchen I think =)

I'm just being cranky. :) To be fair, this happened over three years ago, and if the restaurant in question had been consistently poisoning people with their jambalaya somebody probably would have noticed by now... For what it's worth the food tasted nice, on the way down, that is.

Cajun Kitchen is okay. It's the same people who run Popeyes Chicken, and it's sort of a fast-foody take on cajun food. A decent alternative to burgers or something. Anyway, have fun!
