Seriously thinking it is time to look for another job. (vent) kinda long
I have been at my current job for the past 4 1/2 years. I love the benefits and most of the people I work with. It is not a job that I want to do for the rest of my life by no means but I am still trying to figure out what I want to do career wise. I am now serioulsy thinking of finding another job that may not be my long term job now because of how things are going here.
I have been the only full time employee in my dept since July 5. My boss and a co-worker of been of off work on FMLA. With the absence of my boss I have been the one who has made sure work gets completed in a timely manner AND that payroll is completed and sent in on time. I have had some help from a couple of other people not a whole lot. I have also been supervising 5 student employees who are doing a phenominal job. I have only been able to take off for Orthodontist appointments so and did not get to take any vacation time this summer. Well my great aunt passed away over the weekend so I had to take off yesterday for the services-I e-mailed my higher athority about the services on Satruday evening to give him a heads up. I never got a response, so Monday morning I asked him if he got my e-mail and he got really pi$$y and said yes but its really bad timing. (like I have control over when someone dies). I also have a orthodontist appointment tomorrow afternoon so I have to leave at noon since my ortho is 1 1/2 hours away from Stillwater. I told him about the appointment last month and put it on the calendar; I reminded him of it again today and let him know that I would be here in the morning and be out after lunch-he again got pi$$y and was like "so you won't be in at all tomrrow afternoon?" I told him no since my appointment was at 2. (if I were to come back to work after my appointment I would maybe get back by 4 and then I would have to turn around and go back home when I got off of 5; the exit to where I live is on my way back from Tulsa so it would senceless for me to waste my gas and driving time to come to work for an hour.)
I do not get paid enough to put up with there crap when I need to take off nor do I get the appreciation I deserve for all the extra work I have had to take on with the absence of 2 other people with out any compenstation. I turned down a job back in July because I thought I would have a chance at moving up with the absence of my boss but that is clearly not going to happen because of one of the ladies who kind of helps will be getting that job if it becomes available. (once my boss comes back from FMLA she will be put on performance evaluation and if she screws up 1 time she will be let go and if she doesnt screw up they will be demoting her because she does not have the capabilities to get her job done) I feel like I have busted my rear for nothing and I am tired of it.

We have and decided that it would be better to stay close to our family. He also wants to stay close to his mom and step-dad so he can help them when needed. His step-dad isn't a spring chicken and if something where to happen to him C would be the one taking over her cattle operation. It just doesn't amke since to move since we have a place to build or do whatever we want with when we want and C will be inheriting (sp) a lot of land that has been in the family for years and he wants to keep it that way. Plus C is wanting to open up his own repair shop in the future and where were at now would be the perfect place because the repair shop we currently have are not very good. We would open one now but don't really have the money to get one started yet.
I have some friends who work for the Tribal clinic in my hometown (which is where I live) and they are alway looking for people to come to work so I have a good shot at getting a job with them in the dental dept. I applied 1 other time but it was right before my boss left on FMLA so I turned down the interview. I spoke with both of my friends who work there this weekend they told me to just let them know if/when I apply again because there boss is very intrested in me. I wouldn't be taking much of a pay cut if any and I would be like 5 minutes from home and still have good benefits. I am seriously thinking about applying again.
Do it! You spend too much time at work to be miserable all day long. Plus it's awesome to work only 5 min away from home.
