Weekend was good. saw lots of cool people i see far to rarely (in real life anway) had fun got drunk, was happy drunk and as far as I know didn't cause too much offense. thanks to all of you who were there and are here.
Work is really getting me down.
It not really what I want to be doing, and its not really what the job advert said it would be doing which would have been more tolerable. As it is when it okay its okay but otherwise its horrendous. And its a short walk away and I can wear what I like. The other people in the office are nice
Part of the problem is the owner. who thankfully now lives pretty much in Austin Texas. He isn't overly happy with the company performance this financial year. That being those of us who actual work there that being a staff of give or take 5, booking in locum doctors to surgeries and taking a cut have only made about £600,000 profit so far this financial year. This is down on last year apparantly and is mostly the Cambridge based general manager fault and slightly our fault for obviously not working hard enough. It transpires, that over email and phonecalls the owner has to all intents and purposes been bullying and generally treating like shit the general manager. I am not surprised. From the brief experience I have of him he can be a real bad tempered short fused bully. As it stands, on Thursday when I was having a filing, the general manager walked out. Yesterday, she cunningly bought in a Doctor signed sickness certifiaction form for a 2 week period. but she probabl isn't coming back. The owner in a "pep talk I'm alright really I'm a nice boss" email today, Said she had a note saying she was suffering from "stress", with the quotes marks. I'm not sure how sincerely he's using the quotes marks.
Need to start looking elsewhere.
fleurgh, rant over.
