Pet Peeves
Ok I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything on here, but I had to vent somewhere that I knew would be relatively safe. I know that the people this is about don't have a livejournal, but they do have a myspace account, so I can't blog there.
Anyway, I absolutely, positively CANNOT stand people who act like they're in an authority position when they're not, people who are in an authority positin who don't belong there, or people who are two faced! I'm so fed up with all the bullshit at work that I'm about ready to give them what they want, which is to make me quit or get me fired. I've been told by some of my friends that I'm showing incredible restraint because I haven't tore into the people about everything that's going on there. I found out about a month and a half ago that someone I considered a friend was telling our supervisor things that I had said to her in confidence. (Thank you Mr. Barnett and the marching band!) I haven't confronted her about it because frankly, I don't know what to say to her. So far, all I've done is bit my tongue around her because I know anything I say will get back to our supervisor anyway. And stuff I do say to her I make sure that the supervisor is there to hear it to, or that it's stuff I don't care to let get back to the supervisor. She's told one of the other women that work in our room that when our supervisor's out of work then she's in charge. That's not what our employee handbook says, so I ignore her. I go to the person we're supposed to go to, which is the next person up on the chain, not the next person in the room with me. She's been there less time than either me or the person she said that to. I'm not listening to some 18-year-old wannabe redneck who kisses the supervisor's ass! I'm sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to do it. Of course, the supervisor doesn't need to be the supervisor anyway. All I ever see her do (besides yell at me for stuff not my fault) is sit on her fat ass up front and do nothing! It makes me sick to my stomach because I work my ass off, and the supervisor and my supposedly friend take all the credit for everything. If I have a heart attack at an early age, you all will know why.
Anyway, on the positive side. I've possibly got another job waiting for me in a couple months. The boss is just waiting for business to pick back up there before he hires me. Oh, and starting summer semester, I'll be back at good ol' DSC to start finishing for my associates degree. I'm slightly changing my major, so I don't know if I'll have to retake any classes cause of my grades. I'm switching from secondary education to early childhood education. I'm hoping to finish up before they finish the new schools that I heard they were planning to have finished by 2008. If I don't have to retake anything, I've only got 7 classes left, and at least 4 of them are elective classes.
Anyway, I gotta head back to the hell hole that is the Friendship House to finish out the day, so I'll have to stop now. If anyone's got any advice about my work problems, feel free to leave me a comment.
Oh, if anyone has kids, NEVER put them into a daycare. One person is responsible for too many kids at one time.
