rayvyn2kIn another week, I'll be one day away from my long-awaited (and much needed) road trip.
Work has been a BITCH lately, both the work itself and the bullshit within...I don't have time now to go into detail...
...but I will say that I am a member of the Diversity and Inclusion committee which, by its very nature implies the members would embrace those values.
Not so much, this week.
Did you know that June is GLBT (formerly simply "Gay") Pride month? Well, it is. And I was asked to create a flyer for the department regarding same. Which I did. Which was viewed and approved by two levels of management, one of which was the VP level.
It was sent out. A couple of the committee members ("good" Christians, both) had a problem having their name attached to "that subject matter". So, a meeting was called. Everyone was allowed to speak (thankfully, the managers and most of the other committee members supported the flyer) and those two were basically told if they cannot support diversity and inclusion in all its forms they were free to quit the committee with no hard feelings.
I really hope they do.
Anyway, I wasn't going to go into all that detail, but there you have it. There is too much work, and now this on top of it and I'm a knotted up mess.
Only one more week, then I will be free...for a few days.
