very little makes me grumpier....

my last day here is probably the 22nd.
as we near physical inventory my boss is getting tense. he calls me into his office and then doesn't want to hear what i have to say. he interrupts a lot. i have responded to this by saying less. mostly he just doesn't call me in at all - he call's jory. i feel a mixture of relief and irritation about this. part of me still wants to be included and feel like my opinion is valued.
this morning one of the inside sales people came over upset because there had been a receiving error. some of her customer's parts had been here for 2 weeks and had not been received. this happened while i was gone, but beyond that, jory has been doing the receiving for over a month now.
never-the-less, we BOTH got hauled into bill's office and lectured. receiving errors are rare, but he got freaked out over these and is having jory do needless research on them that will result in nothing positive.
i am finding it hard to care about my work - except to feel a bit sorry for jory. it seemed like the lecture was 1/3 reasonable, 1/3 bill's tension about inventory and 1/3 a show put on to appease the saleswoman. i have tolerance for only the first 3rd of that. nothing seems to apply to me anymore. i am looking forward to this job being done and i feel sad about that.
i think, where is God in this? it is a lesson in humility certainly, obviously i need to be taught that i am not too good to be bored and required to suffer my time to be wasted. i have no idea how to handle this gracefully. i would rather be playing my bagpipes and writing my paper.
