Depressed

Not the best day in the world. 

Start: wake up to find cat has missed litter tray. 30 minutes of cleaning up tar-like cat faeces before even getting dressed. What fun.

Lunchtime: my annual review at work, which will affect my pay award for this year. Apparently I am "substandard", but for no readily explicable reason. It is agreed that I work until 10pm & come in at 6am on certain days & also have several congratulatory emails from senior management & have been key in getting several essential projects off the ground, but that doesn't count. What counts is that I have to be able to forsee the future & make sure that nothing goes wrong by miraculously knowing what some moron has done at the other side of the planet.

Evening: C is going to be getting back at 1am tonight. Moreover, tomorrow shes flying to the UK, leaving me to start the packing & housemoving sorting all on my own for the next few days. 

Heres hoping that tomorrow will be better.

EDIT: After speaking with C, I've decided to raise the job issue with my companies HR. Either they can point to specific activities that are not good enough, in writing, or they can change their rating. Or they can fire me. I'm not going to accept the rating without at least further consultation.
