Nothing bad happened at work today but frustration was the main theme of the day.
The only way to describe it is terms of the Dilbert comic strip. The pointy headed bosses are firmly in control and their idiosyncratic decisions dictate the agenda. Details are probably pointless but because someone gets a silly idea in their head it generates hours of work disproving that idea. It's amazing that they pay me so much to be a subject matter expert but won't ask me my opinion. What's frustrating is that if they really did their jobs as managers we could be doing some good work and making better systems that were easier to use and made other folks less frustrated. Instead they seem to thrive on giving us tight deadlines and reveling in the fact that we work so hard to meet them.
My mother was in a funk too. She's got a new aide today and that is never a happy day for her.
