I hate my job

Oct 18, 2006 16:21

I realize that I have very little education and that I tend to be a bit on the lazy side, but I like a challenge and I am capable of learning things. That being said, I really strongly dislike my job. I feel like I was given half assed training and then sent over to the Radisson to do a job that I'm not sure the people here really care about anyway. I like talking to people, I like customer service, but I like the office type work I've been doing as well.
I do know how to use office programs, but the longer I sit here and not use them the more I'm going to forget. I can answer a phone like a pro, I just don't have a good working knowledge of what to do with the reservations. And I think my boss is kinda a con artist, which makes it tough for me to really be positive about the whole deal. I hate working with people who are out to show me up and make me look bad for not knowing how to do something.
I refuse to pledge blind alliegance to someone who will blatently break the law and then have the guts to act like it's my fault and I'm not being a team player. Being a team player shouldn't involve off the clock working and/or working unpaid overtime. A job should have an outline and stick to it. If he had told me in the interview that part of my responsibilities would be to drive, I would have told him thank you for your time but this job is not for me, as I'm not interested in driving a limo for a living. I'm a lowly office worker, but I'm not stupid. I just really hate looking for a job. But I need to. I really don't want to get fired, but I feel like thats the direction I'm headed in if I don't watch my back. And I got this job because I was tired of having to always watch my back. But I really have to start applying to jobs, even the ones I'm not 100% sure I'm qualified for. Because I need to be able to go back to school in the spring and I need a good mental frame of mind if I'm going to be successful at that. And my current mental state isn't really good for the added stresses of dealing with classes and homework and such.
I feel like such a dope, why is it that I can't just find a job that I don't suck at and that I can learn things and feel like at the end of the day I've learned something or I've helped someone do something productive. Right now I feel like the biggest looser on the planet.
