Bah!

Why oh why oh why is my job like this? It happens every year, but it's still a surprise. We have had a stack of requests in this week all requiring attention over christmas and into January. Most have taken account that it's holiday time, but not all, and in any case it means January is going to be crazy.

Also, the company has had a very good year this year and everybody is congratulating each other. Much slapping of backs and all that. But the same old problems remain and I haven't had a single christmas card or thank you from any of my 'internal customers' who have hit their targets. I don't actually like getting thanks, but not getting it is even worse.

I think I need a holiday. A long one.
