Well, just between you and me friends I have my first internal interview lined up. It's for a completely different job, no techy work at all. The pay scheme is also completely different - ie lower, but stuff it. I have to try, right? As my confidence is completely shot at the moment, i am very nervous.

On a positive note, it's now been a whole wee without chocolate. This is a major achievement for me.

Finally the end of another bad day. I work with people in India, and one of them really tries to provoke me and today was one of those days. It really and truly upsets me, as i try my hardst to get on. She complaint because i had picked up one of "her" tasks. She said on our morning call that she was going to do it, but on our task system later that day it was assigned to no-one. So i picked it up and did it. Last i was trying to do several things at once, and was working my way up the emails in our inbox. She complained because i hadn't moved one directly after I had dealt with it. As I had updated our information about it, and was currently dealing was an outage, i simply hadn't reached that email yet. She complained to my boss.

As is the usual way, i'll probably get hauled into my line managers office and told it's my fault. I mean, what is so wrong with picked up tasks which are not assigned to anyone? Ok, so i could have moved the mail quicker, but i did the urgent update, and was working on an outage and was only two mails away.

I cannot win.
