So Childish

I really wish people who are technically adults would behave as such. Being at work lately has been like being in some bad American movie set in a cliquey high school. It means I spend the VAST majority of my time running around trying to make people just get on with each other and do their job - which is NOT the most effective use of my time. It's really horrible being able to see what the source of all the problems are, and being pretty much unable to do anything about it. Damn you, IR laws. Of course, I actually totally support strong IR laws and protecting the rights of workers, but I now also have experience of how protecting those rights means that the employer can have difficulty rectifying a difficult situation that one employee creates, which impacts on other employees throughout the entire organisation. ***banging head against brick wall ***

I am also in a particularly bad mood because I have a popcorn hangover. Yes, you read right - a popcorn hangover. I went to the movies with the Moose last night (expanded Moose - there were about 20 of us), and hadn't eaten for about 8 hours by the time we got there. Knowing that dinner was at least another three hours away, I made what I thought at the time was the right choice, and ate a WHOLE lot of popcorn. Once you have a huge popcorn, it's impossible not to eat it! I just have to eat it because it's there! And then wash down with large quantities of frozen raspberry soft drink. I felt fine last night, but woke up this morning with an INCREDIBLE headache, which has stayed with me all day, no matter how much water I drink. Ugh, never eating popcorn again...
