i'm becoming one of those people who can't listen without first arranging a meeting, can't walk up the stairs without coffee first, doesn't remember anything unless it's in an email.
i got into this job (and this type of work) to sustain a life while pursuing and fleshing out my goals of working in education. now i dont do any of that, only my job. and it's really upsetting when i take a step back and realize i'm not doing anything i want to be doing. it was fine having the cow pattie so long as there was that marshmallow stuck in the middle, but now...
i feel like Robin, whom I was working with on the youth project, doesn't want me around anymore and that's why she hasn't even communicated the schedule to me. i don't know why i should have to fight to keep being part of the project i've been working hard on for over a year and a half. esp when she and others have given my work great praise.
i feel surrounded by liars sometimes. like one of my bosses, andrew, will talk sweetly and complimentary to my face and then send the nastiest emails that make me just forget what i'm doing and all the good work that i do and just hang my head in shame/despair/confusion. honest and free-flowing communication, i am finding out, is really important in this environment. i wish robin and andrew and everyone else would be straight with me.
