Venting. beware.

So, I busted my ass all day today. ALL DAY! It was literally the never ending day of haul ass!! Without going into too much detail, I do financial/accounting reporting for two very large industrial real estate portfolios. WELP, today was our 2007 deadline. Month, Q4 and YTD reports are out the door and overnighted to Boston, MA (where the owners are) as of 6 pm today.

7 reports - 2 of which were over 1/2 a rem of paper a peice. These people aren't messing around. Did I mention I have to make 3 copies = YES THAT'S RIGHT - 21 PERFECT REPORTS. bleck.

I drank a cup of coffee, ate a bowl of cereal, a bagel and a half a bag of cheetos all day long. I was running on nerves and stress ALL DAY and damn it, now all I want to do is drink... And I'm gonna.

I was at freakin work from 4 pm - 11 pm yesterday, and I put in a solid 4 hours on Saturday. Let's not even talk about the hours I put in the past 2 weeks. I hardly slept last night because all I could think about were my budget comparisons... it was a bit ridiculous.

BUT ... (and here comes the awesome part)

My boss took all 7 reports into his office to bless them before they went out this evening. After about 20 minutes, he comes back into my office with a very serious look on his face. I'm thinking - oh shit, something is wrong. very wrong.

He says, "These are by far the best reports I've ever seen."
I take those bad boys downstairs and drop them in the FedEx slot. As I'm walking back to my desk, the boss of my boss and the boss of the whole place drops a comment to a broker about needing to hire someone like me. You know, it was one of those in passing comments - he saw me and pointed. And then proceeded to tell me that I'm doing a great job.
Anyways, the moral of the story is - sometimes persistence and dedication and some **serious** attention to detail and physical pain/anguish/stress really pays off. I left work today in complete and total exhaustion - But it's all good.

I'll get off my high horse and simultaneously stop my bitching now. And lets not get started on my grammar or puncuatation. I really just don't care right now

Good job! Now have a strong drink and put your feet up (or sit in a steaming hot tub).

Hell, post your boobies and feel the freedom. Feel the weight lifted off your chest.

Sure, it sometimes pays off, but apathay and laziness are sure things.

Congrats though.

hard work might pay off in the future
laziness pays off now

-I'm confused. Sarah, how is this a vent?!

This sounds like a victory dance. A well deserved one.

Good job, girl!

I hope he's gonna give you a big fat raise for all that work. Good job!

Reminds me of a Cheers episode.

Woody busts in on Rebecca and demands a raise.

She tells him I can't give you a raise but I can do even better...I can give you a TITLE! How's "Head Bartender" sound?

Woody walks out with his head in the clouds.


Congrats on the good work, Sarah!

My reality and yours are quite different.
