New Work Monday #21
Hi. Sorry for not posting. I sort of fell off the planet.
But I'm back now!
Last week was sort of hellish. I did about 20 hours of overtime in three days (one all-nighter) and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt. Though I did get a "thank you for your implication in putting the tender offer together on time. If you like you can recuperate your hours by taking time off" (I said no. Show me the money.)
Also? When I was still a bit loupy on Friday from fatigue, I was told that I was a big baby.
I. Am. Not. Even. Kidding
So. When I think about how my uncomplaining "implication" (which saved their proverbial whatsits) will line the pockets of others and garner those others, who were completely condescending to me, praise for a job well done and possibly awards and stuff? I'll admit that that makes me a little crazy.
OK. Bitter.
Mr C was furious. Practically incandescent. I won't tell you what he insinuated but it sounded mighty uncomfortable.
All that to say that I didn't get any new work done this week. So HELLO ARCHIVES!
Here is the other piece that I did in Ravenna, Italy. You know. When I had a life:
Lady Bug
Mosaic
20cm x 20cm
Detail:
I rather think the polka dots on the frame were inspired...

Oh, I just *heart* it!
The mosaic? Lovely.
Your coworkers? Assholes.
Your husband? Right, as long as his suggestion was for them to 'cram it in sideways.'
For clarification's sake: It was my boss who said I was a big baby because I was a bit out of it. It sort of shocked me awake and made me wish for a voodoo doll.
Misère.
ohhh, I think you have to start doing voodoo mosaics.
I didn't think that overtime was allowed in France. Is that a Sarkozy thing?
Love your lady bug.
Ms Mac: I'm glad you like it.
Andrea: That was exactly his suggestion...
Miss Chris: Voodoo mosaics. Hmmm....
AFM: OT is allowed in France. It may well be a Sarkozy thing. There's even a saying: "Travailler plus pour gagner plus" (Work more to earn more). It's a slogan that is mocked quite a bit in this country... :-)
