Work sucks
A VERY happy birthday wish to xxunjaded! I hope you have a great day you so deserve. You are very sweet and I'm glad to be able to consider you a friend *hugs*
I went back to work on Monday after being off for two weeks. Two weeks is just enough to forget that you DO work. But no coming back, there are all these smart ass remarks about my job. About how "easy" it was when I was gone from one of the people who helped cover. But the others say she was running around like a crazy person when I was gone. Comments about how my phone never rang when I was gone. RIGHT. I had six voice mail messages alone after an hour and a half meeting. Then my big boss tells me to watch my back, that she feels like I"m being set up. What. The. HELL? You are the boss, do something about it!
Thank god I really shouldn't have to put up with it that much longer. My sister called last night and they are looking for their first rental property. MY property. I really can't wait to be able to move down there. I'd like to get my five years in here, but that means another 13 months and I don't think I can last that long. At five years you become fully vested and then you get some retirment from here. But really, it's not going to be THAT much. And if I'm not living in California, I won't be paying into the retirement here anymore anyways. I think when I move I'm going pull it all out anyway. Give me a little cushion to move on, to get myself settled in a new place. And just in case I can't find a job right away.
One of the guys in here just made a nice comment. We are going all this moving at work. He said that moving my area is going to be the most difficult because I have the move computer equipment (I have three computer on my desk, a webserver and a database server, along with 6 phone lines). He said they should just leave me where I am so I can concentrate on my work. Plus we are goin to be moving out of this building in a little over a year anyway, so paying to do all this is nuts, when our district is broke. I told him that if I didn't move, the other girls (read ONE lady who is a bitch) will complain because they will have to work more of the counter/reception. He said don't worry about what they think, you are better than that. And he's right, I AM better than that. I need to start thinking that. Believing that. That's I'm above all this stupid petty crap at work, that you need to demean someone elses job to make yourslef more important. They should already KNOW their job is more important than mine. They are told so. They are paid WAY more. They get better perks. Is is necessary to put my job down all the time?
