I don't understand why companies make you work the three days between Christmas and New Years. In my particular field there is absolutely nothing to do. It's 10am, and I don't have anything to do. I suppose I could clean my desk, but truth be told, I hate cleaning! I could organize files on my computer (booooring!), or something else. I am making a deck for our advertising and communication strategy for 2009, but that can't really be finished until my boss is here...and he's not. So we come back to it...why do we have to work on these three days?
If you can think of something inconspicuous for me to do today and tomorrow, let me know. I am actually thinking about taking the day off tomorrow. Blah.

Lack of Communication
I have learned some things during my tenure here. Mainly about communication and lack thereof. Most importantly, lack of communication not only causes stress, but it COSTS MONEY! It results in redundancy in work, in re-purchasing of supplies, and general angst among co-workers. How can one plan without full knowledge of what's happening. Without even partial knowledge!
This is something that causes me personally great stress. I try not to let it...hey it's only Christmas decorations...but I am failing miserably! If you had a lot of stuff stored away amongst, say 15 people, would you send one person to just throw stuff away they thought we didn't need?? Or would you ask the people who's stuff it was to come and cull through their belongings to get rid of stuff they knew wasn't being used? I would choose the latter! Why are all the Christmas decorations gone? Did someone who knew what we used throw them away? NO! Because I'm the only one who uses them, and no one asked me. I used almost everything in those boxes and no one asked me before throwing things out. So dumb. And I suppose I should go get more so we have have a festive holiday party in two days...I think NOT! I'm not doing that crap! I bought stuff last year that just got thrown away this year...I'm not buying it again. What a waste!
I hate waste and I hate ignorance!
