| Comment | In a right funny mood today.
I had my annual appraisal, with my boss, who's a prick.
Some things he's said to me over the years thinking we were pals
1. don't Saudi students smell funny
2. it's poor form X isn't here today - 'she's part time. She doesn't work today'. Doesn't care.
3. told an Irish colleague he doesn't think there should be a republic at all.
I should've dobbed him in but...ach, you worry what'll actually happen, and you're left dealing with it. I don't agree with any of these obviously, I just sort of stood there.
Anyway, I'm annoyed because I've worked my arse off for 18 months with COVID, baby April 2020 with no child support etc., got a few papers in (we're academics), *loads* of grant apps in, my students are all happy and doing well, and he's just like 'ok'. No well done, thanks for covering all the slack etc. etc. Scoffed at discussing promotion.
It's funny because I appreciate it's a bit juvenile to be like 'my boss didn't give me a gold star :(' but I'm also like 'well what the fuck am I doing thinking about work on Saturday afternoon when it's all for 'OK. You're doing fine'" |
