Love/Hate relationships
So I love my job, but I hate it at the same time.
Well, I hate certain aspects of my job. I am expected to run this place like it was my own business. That's all fine and dandy, but when it comes to MAJOR repairs that need to be done, I'm left to fend for myself and get yelled at when I can't get things done or I require help. I'm also expected to know how to do reports and things that I've never done before, but my boss doesn't have the time to teach me the proper way to do it. So, instead, I fake the reports the best I can, then get yelled at for not doing them right. With the right training, I could be awesome at this job, but I was thrown head first into the deep end and I'm doing all I can just to keep my head above water. This job is too much for me. This is definitely Fuddrucker's all over again - expected to know everything, including things I was never trained to do. I'm doing my best, but that's never good enough it seems. And when I ask for help, I get sarcasm and attitude.
I don't want to be the manager here anymore. But quitting means losing my housing. I have no where to go. Jenn's not allowed to have roommates anymore. I can't afford to live on my own. Moving to my parents is not an option.
The worst part is that I feel like I'm losing a friend. My boss is my friend. One of my best friends. And now he's acting like a jerk because he's under massive amounts of stress and taking things out on us. Yes, we are all late with things he needs, but he doesn't want to accept that we don't work 24/7 like him. We have lives outside of work. Our days end at 6pm. Our days off are exactly that - days off from work. I know he has something to prove with this company, that's why he's pushing us so hard. But, honestly, this job is more than I can handle.
I never thought I'd say this, but I really wish I never left Walnut Creek Public Storage. I'd be broke, but I'd be happier and still have my friend.
I have some other things going on in my personal life...if things work out, maybe I'll just end up moving to Sacramento and then I'll be able to get out of this place...and maybe get my best friend back.
