ARGH!! (LONG)
I need to vent. I 'm really getting tired of my job. For one, I never seem to be busy and when I am everyone just gets mad at me. I've been here for over 3 years, there is a lady that started at exactly the same time as I did and still doesn't know my name or what my job is. There is a girl that works in my office that got mad at me a month ago because she saw I was busy and on the phone and proceeded to ask if I was on the phone, so when I gave a smart ass answer (no I'm just holding the phone to my ear for no reason), got all pi$$ed and offended. So today, for no other reason than because I'm tired of being paged for "results" that have nothing to do with me, I get pulled into my bosses office. He then proceeds to throw on me that he "doesn't know what is going on between L and I," Um, excuse me, I didn't know there was anything going on between us, I gave her a smart ass response and moved on. Over a month later, she is still dwelling, seems like it's her problem not mine. Then he said something about how I get loud on the phone, I tell him that sometimes I can't hear myself. And this is true, because of my hearing imparement, I can't judge how loud I am sometimes. Even the other day DH said he was calling my name in the store, I was maybe ten feet away, and I didn't even hear him. My boss seems to think I'm using it as an excuse. It pi$$es me off when people say that. I've dealt with adversity due to my imparement my entire life. It is a disablity, but I don't think of it as one, or pull the disability card. I don't even let employers know I have a disability until I'm already hired and can prove that I am capeable of the job. I don't throw it around to get what I want like I have seen other people do. I'm just so mad. After I got out of that, I immediately got on the phone with my supervisor and told her what happened. She could not believe it and said she has my back on everything, and I know she does, but if it comes down to her getting in trouble to defend me, she'll back out, but so would anyone else.
2 1/2 weeks. I'm counting down, 2 1/2 weeks until our honeymoon and then I'm really going to start job hunting hardcore. (The problem is no one is hiring MBA's, and I don't think two weeks is going to make a difference). I guess it will help that I have a 3 day weekend and only have to deal with my boss for two more days this week and three days next week, before he goes on vacation. I'm just over everything.
Sorry this was so long, I'm just tired of everything. Thank you for letting me vent.
Re: ARGH!! (LONG)
*hugs*
hope things get better for you. Its crazy that someone would hold on to something like that for so long. crazy co-workers...?
boo! what a crazy coworker...I think it is ridiculous when people hold onto a grudge for so long.
Hopefully your HM will be just the break you need from that cr*p. And hopefully you can get lucky in the job market and find a job that is a better fit! Is there any sort of a career service from the school that you got your MBA at that might help you find some openings?
Thank you ladies for letting me vent. I'm feeling a little better. I really can use the break from work (It's been three years since I've had a vacation).
Renea, unfortunately my school doesn't have any career resouces for students. I am networking though, with people I went to school with and professors. I'm optimistic that I will get something, just pesimistic about the time line. Unfortunately I graduated about six months too late (everyone who graduated before we did had much better luck).
