fine; i'm following Jon's advice
and cut/paste
which i think is dumb but it must be done.
Work is a complete nightmare
and since i've seen
so many news spots about
blogging about work
and reading articles on the dangers
of blogging about
work, i won't get into details but
i'll just sum it up
by blogging about work! I can't
stand my boss. I'm
disappointed in him beyond
words. We have such a
shortage of workers (i hate it
when politicians brag
about low unemployment.
The result is a shoddy work-
force and it makes it
impossible to find good help!)
and i despise going to work.
The ironic thing is (& i
have talked about this before)
i feel so hedged in because
everytime i send out a
resume or at least attempt to
something strange happens.
I've tried faxing applications
to other companies and just
as a fluke it's my fax that
won't go thru. We have a kinko's
in our parking lot.
I may have to go there to fax it
out. Why not shop at the
competition?
It's not just that back-to-school
falls on my shoulders. It's a
very messed up company
with too many shifting values.
It's like they ask you
to build a sky-scraper but
all they give you is the floor
plan with no laborforce, no payroll,
and you have a week to get it done
with no building materials.
I've resorted to saying, "I
left my magic wand at home...
I'm sorry i just can't get
this done."
It's gotten so bad that there
are times when i'm the
only manager in the building
and the floor is super hot
with a million customers and
long lines that i just go sit
in the break room on the
couch and stare at the wall.
I totally cannot deal with
it anymore. And the gripe
sessions i've had with the other
leadership don't change
the fact that our hands are tied.
And then the joy was i was on
over-nights this week
but had to go in on my day
off for a 7 a.m. meeting. It'd
be nice to catch up on sleep.
"Quality of life" - what a
joke.
Other than that pain and
headache and making my
associates wish they were
never born, i've become
everyday on re-runs. Great show.
And other than that, i've asked
everyone i know if the
grass is any greener on "the other side."
The resoundinganswer i've been
getting is, "No, it is not. Life just sucks."
I'm even getting really half-hearted
commitments
from my students at church. 100
degree weather or
not, these kids were my heroes
and i can't get them to
want to be involved with stuff
this summer either.
Well that's maybe what i can do:
blame it on the weather.
I am thankful for Air Conditioning
and i tell God that
everyday!!!
I'm going to finish laundry,
play some Zelda, make some stir fry and zone out in
front of the TV. Stay cool.
