Overdrafted

December! The time of spending and giving, and all that other hoo-haa! This month, I'm officially, overdrafted. Yup, that's right. Into the overdraft by a smudge and I can't fall deeper. Falling deeper into my overdraft means I'll have no idea where my cash flow is-at at the end of December; and me going back to University really doesn't need more debt!

Work's shit. I feel like everyone has some grudge that I'm leaving. It's life. I just wish they knew it. I lost my £600 bonus and it wasn't my fault. At first, my bonus of £600 was cut to £300 or an extra 24 hours developing. One developer said 'yes' to cutting our bonuses by 50% -- basically the boss takes his word for things. I got the impression the other developer was just as disappointed as me that he said yes (there's three developers). So, I kind of snapped and told him "What the fuck are you wasting your time on?" -- just not in those words. His facial expression slipped and he went white. His response had attitude.

On that evening my bonus got cut by 50%, I went home on time, rather than dong overtime I don't get paid for and told the other developers whatever tasks they had given to me, I'll do the next day. Rising to the occasion, the next day I'm in at 8am, like most days. By 9am, I get a text from one developer telling me he'll be an hour late. The other developer is taking a driving test and would be in later. It hits about 1pm and the developer that said he'd be there in an hour, arrived. At that point I was very pissed. The fact that half a day was wasted.

Near the end of the day arrives and during that time, one developer took credit for a program I found. Basically a benchmarking tool. Now, him wooing the boss with it, it shows us that the development they built (yes, I only joined the project near the end, I had to develop an entire travel website using Ajax -- which is doing very, very well.) is slower than the current. The boss, being the boss, slapped us all with "it's not going live if it's slower". Yet again, two out of three developers disagreed and believed it was faster. Much faster. Yet, the boss taking the other developers opinion, won. It's nearing the end of the day and at about 7:15pm, I ask the developers what's happening and will we be able to do this. No was their answer and quickly followed by a prompt "you've got tasks to do", I replied with "they're on my to-do list for tomorrow, bye!".

You can imagine how pissed I was that my bonus got cut by 50%, then the developers are all late, by half a day and finally decide they've lost my bonus. What better way to solve my anger then go on a complete binge in town?!

The next day, no alarms went off and I awoke at 9:30am. Already 30 minutes late for work. I gave a little text to one of the developers and told them I would be late and I'll be in soon. Happily strolling around my house not really caring for work, I wasted time waking up, putting on my face and getting some paracetamol down me. I get to work about 11am and no one says nothing. Good thing too, because if they did, I would challenge everything that happened this December.

It's a crappy workplace now. Devious, stress-heads and "know-it-alls". I don't have time for such places and I'm really happy to be moving. Possibly not to Derby, but actually leaving my job. Who knows what will happen now. I'm invited to a Christmas doo at work, but I don't think I will be attending. Not if things go on like this.

Fuckers.
