I got a great freaking surprise at work today.
Back in December, my boss thought about me for a new position/promotion. They wanted me and only me. I was interested and passed the pre-interview. I've been training sort of for this position ever since. I say sort of because I've been doing other things that need to be done since the position still doesn't exist yet. Anyway, this position would come with a 10% increase, better hours, more responsibilities...
I've been proactive about the new position with future supervisors, asking them tons of questions like if they heard anything new about the position, when would the real training start, etc. All I got so far were I-don't-knows. I asked again today and they said they filled the position already. What the what? Are you flucking serious? I was livid but remained calm and asked to meet with all the people involved in this mess to get answers. They thought I didn't want it but I pointed out that NO ONE ever came and talked to me and simply asked if I was still interested. So what am I training for then?! They apologized profusely but said they couldn't tell the person they picked that they didn't have the job anymore. They said they would try to make it right for me but there was nothing they could do about the new postion. Yeah, thank you but fluck you all is what I think.
The silver lining is that I am going to apply at a different location ASAP and get out of this town, move on and start over in a new city with a new job, hopefully that goes with my college degrees.
I also got an email from XH asking to come to the house on Sunday (I'll see him on Saturday too at THE baby shower , FML lol ) to pick up more stuff. I'll make sure he takes his HUGE non-flat screen TV too so I can get myself a nice flat screen one.
Re: I got a great freaking surprise at work today.
Uh, im sorry, that sucks!
I think starting over in a new city would be awesome for you!
p.s. I dont remember a story about going to a baby shower with your XH..that sucks, sorry!
I wrote at least 2 posts about it. The 1st one was to say that be mom-to-be was my BFF here and as soon as the divorce process started, she disappeared. So I didn't know if I wanted to go to the shower or not. Her H and XH are good friends and since they don't have a lot of friends, they're inviting both their friends to the shower. It's going to be basically a lunch at some restaurant (I'll pay for my lunch) and some girls activities for the girls and guys activities for the guys (you pay for your own thing too).
The second post was to say that you couldn't buy off their registry because it was private. I talked to her last week actually about it and she told me her H is paranoid about what can be find on the internet if you google his name. Yeah. She changed it to not private.
Well congratulations on that silver lining! I transferred to a new location in the middle of the divorce - it made such a difference leaving town. Let the XHs keep their smelly old cities, I really hope it works out for you!
