Meh,

Had an exhausting day with a number of issues arising that were not my fault but impacted on my work (the biggest 'bad' was the company was hit hard by a high value fraudulent transaction) in so much as demonstrating despite the controls I put in place (my current job is as a credit controller.... fun ) others in management positions bypass me and then go 'oooh well, I didn't know that could happen' when things go tits up... the kind you just want to slap and ask why the hell they are paid so much when they demonstrate such stupidity (I don't care for their wage, don't want the stress that would come with that right now... but I can tolerate incompetence from those who in all fairness aren't expected to know better).

Gave my recommendations for avoiding this kind of situation again (biggest being running things by me first perhaps, as it's my job to consider 'risk')... but just felt like I was wasting my breath.

And then one of the few people I actually like went and got himself suspended from work today due to losing his temper and going for another manager who is on his level 'responsibility' wise.

I think that hit me hardest as I know him well enough to know this will be the last straw for him and he's likely to be looking for another job as we speak

None of the above actually has any effect on me directly... but that doesn't stop the empty and heavy feeling I have right now.

So yeah, piss poor day
