work news
Wow, I have actually done some work today. I am working on the program for our Spring Career Expo! We have 42 employers now and the program is pretty much done. However, in the days leading up the event I will be forced to make the many changes to it to add new employers that roll on in. I also entered in some surveys for my employment report. The numbers look a little better but I can't wait around for them to be where I want them so I am gonna have to just put them in the report which is going to make us(career services) look bad but i just say what the numbers tell me. Also in work news I was called in to my boss's office for a serious chat. Uh oh. I was very pleased with the way she addressed the issue, plenty of I statements. However I am not sure if she handled it the right way. See, we have bulk mail where we send out 500 or even 2000 mails. Its the 3 student's job to get it done. Well she is upset because she feels like people are not doing their job and are playing when things need to be done. She wanted to tell me this because she is going to have a meeting with all 3 of us and she wanted to let me know that I am NOT one of the ones she is talking to. *sigh of relief* However, she did tell me that I would be responsible for the mail getting done and if she sees its not getting done we are all 3 not going to be here next year! Why does she have to make me responsible for it? She's the boss! She has a problem with confrontation and I think she now knows, that by making me responsible, she will not have to deal with the confrontation because I'll make sure it gets done even if the others do not do it. Now I am going to go into this meeting already knowing what she is going to say which is going to put me in a weird spot with the other students. I just wish she would have not pulled me aside and told me in secret and rather just had the meeting like normal. I feel like I am going to feel 2 sided or 2 faced when I am around the other students talking about this. Or, I have this knowledge that something is bad is going to happen and I should warn the others but I can't tell them because that would mean the enemy is friends with me. Maybe thats a bad analogy. Does all this make sense? Sociology in the work place is rather interesting and rather annoying. I wish I could treat this place like my friends and tell them how I really feel!
