My computer has a name on the casing. My keyboard and mouse and monitor all have identification on them. All of our TV's have identification on them. I'm not confused - I'm simply ****** off that they make 400 bajillion phones, make them obsolete in about a year, and expect me to remember the damn name of something I bought over two years ago!
It's been under 3 dollars once for a two day period ever since I've lived here.
It's been holding steady around $2.40 in my area. I heard a BP refinery is down in Indiana. The one I mentioned was a BP. The 2 in my town are Citgo and BP, I go to Citgo.
DH texted this afternoon to say prices were jumping. Have half a tank and saw 2.99 on the way home. The next was 2.75.....do I stop or try the other one? I gambled and got 2.59.
I handled a group editing thing today giving people things to do, keeping them going, answering questions, yadda yadda and person who is my co-leader at the end of the day is like "I let you take charge today since it's better to have one person handling things blah blah"
It took a lot to not be like dah fuq? I was here 2.5 hours before you getting everyone going and I purposely took charge because you do a ****** job. Like playing favorites and giving the same person the same thing each time which means you're SOL when that person can't help. People were coming to me for answers because I knew what the hell was going on and dealt nicely with them and didn't treat them like idiots who needed micromanaging. People do not like working with you. You are good at certain things about this, but leading and organizing the group is not one of them. Don't act like you are my boss giving me permission for ****. And stop acting like it's a big deal you were here til midnight last night making lists in Excel that should have taken an hour at best. Just be honest and say you ****ed around for a long time so you could justify not having to come in early today.
So I made a list on a marker board to help keep track of things to check and note progress (something that wasn't in place before me - it was a damn free for all mess and led to lots of mistakes!) People who know way more than I do about the systems apparently came in last night and were adding notes to it like "if x is wrong, let us know right away, might mean system issue" type stuff and co-person saw them or something and made them erase it because they decided I'd be mad or some complete ******** reason. I found out this afternoon and I'm like WHAT DID THEY WRITE?! Why would you do that! I wasn't mean, but I was very firm about it. If the notes bothered me for some unknown reason, I'll just erase it.
Gah!
I felt like you during the convo, haha. I texted DH with "lol, this convo right now" (about them 'letting' me take charge. It's not even a question. I was running things, and running them well. I purposely didn't want this person in charge. It felt good, too. I liked being able to answer all their questions and give them the next thing to do.
yeah I'm not sure what it was previously, though I think it was still $2.42 last night at the one that's 2.99 today. Either way, In about a mile and a half, I saw the 2.99, 2.75, and 2.59.
