mistake, mistake
Finally this week from hell is over. I really expected trouble at the team-meeting on Wednesday because there are so many things amiss and most of them are caused by the boss. Honestly, after seven months at the library she should know the most basic things! I was really pissed because she moved her holiday one week without telling me (I'm in charge of coordinate the holidays for everyone in our team). The other thing that made me really angry is her way of acting helpless- probably hoping that the other people will help or even take all the work from her. I really think I didn't exaggerate there but one of my colleague was really blunt.
I was so fed up after the meeting and just wanted to cry. I went jogging in the evening and was really happy that I didn't have to join my colleagues which were meeting a former team member. Pretending that everythin was fine would have been too much!

The worst thing however happened yesterday... I was gossipping with a colleague to whom I'm pretty close about our boss but then I suddenly realised that she (the boss) was standing at the photocopier- SHOCK! I don't know how much she heard but it must have been a bad surprise for her. I supported her the first few months but I also critisised her- especially in the last few weeks. If she's confronting me about it I'll tell her that I'm not happy with what she's done so far. It's not that I'm the only one who isn't happy at the moment.

Monday we have another meeting to discuss in which direction the library should head to in the future. I guess it won't be fun.
