The normal make a living, the deranged make history.
*Fires up Unreal again for its music*
Life has pulled a 180 within the past few days. I’ve gone from hurt, alone, confused and hating my job, to back to my normal self, for the most part.
While I was at little shavers, things became a bit rough. Waking up at 4 in the morning was beginning to wear me down. Sleep was a difficult task. I started holding onto stress and anger from the previous days. I was unable to let it go and enjoy life like I usually do. I put in my notice, and found something out; I didn’t want to leave. I was stressed, tired of making mistakes and being frustrated, and didn’t want to go to the new schedule (I would have done 2 weeks of days, 2 weeks of nights, and 2 weeks of warehouse hours). I didn’t want to do nights. All that pushed me to quit, but my crew made me want to stay. I like who I work with; they’ve become like a group that I’ve fought through thick and thin with. It’s my crew, and I don’t want to leave them.
My boss did something that surprised the hell out of me. She came forwards and asked what would be needed to get me to stay. I told her the schedule doesn’t work with me, and many other people are fond of it either. She called everyone into her office, asked what they wanted, and has now rewrote the schedule yet again, this time because I had the guts to rock the boat a bit.
This surprises me, a bit. I’m not irreplaceable. They have a 3 inch stack of resumes. And still, one of the first things she said when I walked into her office was “It goes without saying that you’re an excellent worker. Or maybe it isn’t said enough.” One way or another, the schedule has been changed around to something everyone is happy with, and I decided to stay.
I’m happy with this. I’m not staying angry and taking frustrations with me to the next day. I’m not snappy with friends and family anymore. I’m learning to find my authentic self again, I’m taking time out for myself more now. And now, my job doesn’t seem so bad anymore. I am more then content right now.
In other news, my computer is dying for the first time. First is the ad ware problem “winfixer”. People, please, I don’t care how you stumbled across this, if you are reading this now, take my advice: Do not get anything from the winfixer website, or anything related to that name. What you’ll get is ad ware on your computer that brings more pop ups than zombies in “Dawn of the Dead”. Often, your browser will be hijacked from what you were looking at, to a winfixer website. Malicious, extremely difficult to remove ad ware. On top of that, I recently found a virus. This virus is found by Norton, but it can’t be repaired, quarantined, or deleted. I think it is related to the ad ware issue.
I’m not down for the count yet. I still have some things I can try, but this problem has proved quite taxing, and I’m no stranger to spy ware and viruses. :\
