Awakenings
With the recent addition of a good friend of mine to the LJ community,
kevdfw, I must decide that it's about time I get on the up and up again with the posting.
Friends, it has been a while--I hope everyone is well.
As for me, I've become enamored in gay softball. I love the camaraderie and just a good old-fashioned excuse for everyone to hang out outside of the bar. Currently playing right out-field, hoping to move to second base soon. I'm just excited I'm not the worst on the team as that was my biggest fear. Though I'm working on throwing the ball farther.
I quit my "awesome" job a few weeks back. I loved the notion of helping people and really enjoyed what I was doing. However, I just had one thing happen too many. My employer habitually asked for me to lie to clients to help save her ass. After months and months of me dodging clients and trying to keep my boss out of hot water at the BBB and sorting out all the lawsuits of dissatisfied clients because of my bosses' negligence. She turned around and told the clients that their questions could not be answered because I was not doing what I needed to do. That was COMPLETELY ridiculous, not only do I not have any access to their accounts, but I also was the only one in the office 80% of the time. How can any of the necessary work get done when the appropriate case manager isn't there. I'm sorry I don't have 4-6 kids to rush home to take care of things in the middle of the day. Well, I up and quit. Walked out. I decided that I'd much rather be somewhere where I can at least hold on to somewhat professional business ethics, and not have to worry about who I've lied to. Many clients were very upset that I left. I got several phone calls from a few of them wondering why I was fired. WTF? They said she told them she fired me because I was lying to clients about their account status and where checks were. I'm missing something there.
So now the job hunt has begun. I hit the ground running. Several interviews set up within two days. Nothing has really favored me though. I have gotten some good leads and feel I am close to finding something very soon. Wish me luck.
I have recently wedged myself into a group of friends that I never really hung out with before, but am getting to know all of them and having a great time getting to know them and hanging out with them. One of the first times I've found some friends who weren't emotionally draining and give back 110% of whatever I give them. It's something completely refreshing and I love it.
I guess that's all I've got right now. That's what's going on with me.
It was kind of a blah day after I got home from lunch. i need to go have a good cry.
Peace.
