New friend :)

I went out for drinks/dinner with Amber from work. We talked about work and lots of other stuff for a couple of hours. I said I needed girlfriends to hang out with, and she said she wanted to get drunk on Friday. So it looks like we're going out, lol.

So, last night we had training, and it totally blew up. Basically, we were given an account and asked to present ways on how to improve it. I failed to see the training involved in this, nor did I learn anything, although that was probably partially because at that point, I wasn't even open to learn anything--I was so pissed, my ears were closed off to the meeting. Before I left, though, I sent a professional, well-written, calm e-mail to my boss's boss about how I felt that the training needed to improve.

His door was shut for a good hour, and everybody wondered who was in there. I think he was actually responding to my e-mail, because I soon received an e-mail, and it was addressed to everybody in my department except the team leads. I didn't particularly appreciate the fact that it was addressed to everybody, but they all felt the same way that I did, so whatever. I did get kudos from others for sending it. In the e-mail, he pretty much told us that if we're "not a part of the solution, we're a part of the problem." God I'm tired of hearing that--every single time an issue is brought to the surface, we're asked to solve the problem. So we give them solutions, and they say, "we can't do that." He's basically saying, if you don't like the way we do things, STFU. I sent an e-mail back with some solutions, and also mentioned that I'd like to be moved to a different team if possible. I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.
