today i hate people

all of them.

i was in a meeting today and i almost bit the face off every other person in the room. i was that grumpy woman shifting in her seat, actively trying to not roll my eyes like a teenager when someone said something incredibly stupid. suprisingly, i actually succeed in avoiding the eyerolling. well, most of the time.

you see, in a fit of utter irrationality, i volunteered to be on the employee recognition committee. because i thought that it was about actually recognizing employees for doing their work well. but no, it appears to be about "supporting employee morale". in other words, shooting sunshine up our collective asses. although i am an absurdly cheery person, this group cheer stuff? i'm not so good at it. in fact it makes me want to pluck my own eyes out with a pitchfork.

now perhaps the fact that this group happy stuff gives me the creeps is based in my loner childhood. but, the fact is, as an adult i love hanging out with folks, i love parties and chatting and all that. i just don't want to be forced to do it with a group of folks that i didn't select my damn self. and now i'm on a committee that's all about it.

ick.

the good news is my wedding ring is in at the store and i get to go and pick it up tonight.

you know it's a bad day when even the thought of conflict free diamonds doesn't put a smile on a girls face.
