Sleep? What's that?!?

I'm tired, no, not just tired, I am fall-asleep-here-at-my-desk, fighting-to-keep-my-eyes-open, I-think-I'll-go-smoke-a-cigarette, that'll-wake-me-up, TIRED.

Long night last night, Baby guy must be teething b/c he was not a happy camper. He fell asleep exactly at 8pm and woke up at midnight, screaming his head off. I tried for an hour to get him to go back to sleep, even tried some infant tylenol for his gums, didn't work. I gave up at 1am and brought him to bed with me. Curt and I didn't get much sleep. I was being woken up by the baby hourly, playing with my face. And Curt kept waking up afraid he was going to roll over on the baby. I had baby guy real close to me, spooning him, for that reason alone.

Long day at work yesterday, working for the most historically corrupt Telecom company in the USA (Don't get me wrong, all the ethics training that have been enforced on us is really working!!) I deal with some of the most ignorant people I have ever met in my life. When you work in Telecom, either you come into the company with the knowledge already or you learn as you go. You have to be accepting to change, b/c Telecom changes daily!
I am amazed that one person in particular has gotten as far as they have. This person has come in with some knowledge, and is being shown new things everyday. EXCEPT she does not feel the need to keep this knowledge for future use. It's obvious she just does not care to pay attention to what you are showing or explaining to her. And that has gotten pretty damn annoying. If you don't care enough to pay attention the first time around, and you keep coming back to me for help, well then don't be surprised if the next time around, I give you bad information on purpose! I should also add that on her yearly review, it was noted that she needed to work on her 'inter-personal skills' now, what's that tell you?

This person in particular also thinks that she can 'assign' me little tasks! I am her equal, I do not do her grunt work! But she thinks that because I *occasionally* have the time to help her with special projects, she can come to me with HER WORK!! Hello!!! It's your frigging job to do these things! Send out your own damn calling cards! Do your own first level investigative work on service issues! That's not my job!!

What really sucks the big one is that her customers used to be mine. This change was made over a year ago and they still to this day contact me directly for help. They do not like Little Miss Ignorance at all, and they are not afraid to tell me so. However, I can't do anything for them. I have to direct them to her when they call. Sometimes I have to get involved when an old issue arrises and I give my input on the problem, but other than that, they are not my customers. If they would only arrange a conference with Little Miss Ignorance's manager and request to have me back on their account, things would go back to the smooth running machine it was before...I have my suspicions that they already have and it's Little Miss Ignorance's manager that has decided to turn a blind eye and keep her on the account.

Oh and Little Miss Ignorance has a different kind of sense of humor, when you tell her off, she thinks your joking. So needless to say, I take full advantage of telling her to get the hell out of my cube, and to shut up and leave me alone, because, hey I am only joking around-right? ;)

So anyway, that's my daily work drama.

I need a new job...I'm thinking of the travel industry
