Yesterday I came home from a very exhausting day. Dealing with disappointed VPs and upset co-workers aside, I got up early to go to the gym. I was only there for 30 minutes and walking, walking on the treadmill and by 5:30 last night I was exhausted. I ended up going to bed at 7:00 and missing a lot of good television. All I can say is thank GOD for TiVo. I am going to say that it was the mental stress that made me tired.
The co-worker who isn't upset with me filled me in on why one of our co-workers (let's call her CG) is upset with me. Apparently CG was on this project - the copy and past project - for the past 8 months and she has been asking since day 1 to leave the project. When upset co-worker (lets call him MN) and I showed up on the project she was hoping - ahem banking - on being able to leave. But, since I have given notice she's thinking that she won't be able to roll off the project.
As far as the second upset co-worker is concerned, I have no idea what his deal is and I have no more energy to devote to guessing why that is - especially since I asked him point blank if we were "okay." The one thing that I really enjoyed about consulting besides the fact that it was fast paced and it seemed to suit my hyper energy level was that you were exempt from the politics at the client. And, because you weren't in the office you were pretty much exempt from the politics within your own company. The 2 upset co-workers must have not gotten that memo.
This sucks! I'm sorry, hopefully things get a lot better now that you are gone. Bigger and better things
