Cranky

Today was not that good of a day. First of all, my left leg is so sore from those huge bruises I mentioned yesterday. Then, on my way to work, I totally fell on the ice and now my left butt cheek hurts like hell, too. I don't even want to see the bruise for that one.

At work, we finally figured out the rest of my schedule. I need 60 more hours to finish up my internship and although I was told I could finish in ten weeks, it's going to end up being twelve... although even finagling that was a bit of trouble. I said I would work some Saturdays; however, during the holidays and around this time of year, many Saturdays do not have reference service. Instead of letting me make up time on other days, my supervisor wanted me to keep working until I can do Saturdays. Umm, I don't want to be at this internship until March just so I can get a few Saturdays in. Luckily, I talked her into letting me work some Tuesdays and now my last day is scheduled for January 21st. It's just really frustrating to me. I was really hoping to be finished by January 14th... I guess one week doesn't make a big difference.

Finally, immediately after work and before class, I had to meet with a group for a presentation for class tonight. The meeting went all right - as good as can be expected for the hell that is group work - and our presentation went off fine, too, but this presentation was only the first step in a major final project that is due Dec. 16th. Now, with people leaving for winter break and whatnot, we basically decided we need to get it done by Dec. 11th. So we had to set up a meeting time when everyone could show up. Catherine suggested Saturday. I said I had to work until 5pm. Everyone seemed to agree that meeting at 5pm would work well. Well, maybe a half hour later, group member Michelle suddenly remembered she had to work from 4:45 to 8pm on Saturday. So, Catherine decided that it would make more sense to accommodate Michelle (yes, she would be the group member who does nothing in the group because there is always a coattail-rider) than to accommodate me and the meeting was moved to 3pm, with me being able to join them like at 5:30ish or whenever I could. Provided everything was not finished by then, of course. Which it very well might be. This had me slightly miffed at first, but then, the more I thought about it, I remembered how we all agreed to meet at 9:30pm on Monday night to accommodate Catherine. We all were willing to meet up at a totally inconvenient time just so she could join us. Why do I not get the same treatment? It's just really frustrating for me. ESPECIALLY because I volunteered to do the 'executive summary' - something that would be a whole lot easier to write if I actually get to hear what everyone has to say about their parts. And ESPECIALLY because the only reason Catherine wants to meet earlier is so that it doesn't cut into her drinking time. I am not sure how to say all this stuff without coming across as a bitch.
