Amusing... (but finally an update!)
Alright, I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated this thing and I feel awful, I really do.... there's just been so much going on!
Since I moved back to Nanaimo, things have been... chaotic at best? It's been an adjustment getting used to island life again, all my friends tell me I drive very much like a Vancouver driver which pleases me, because I take that to mean that I KNOW how to drive... instead of these twits on the road over here who don't check mirrors or do shoulder checks or signal or anything!!!
Work situation.... well. Things started out awkwardly with my boss. We went to a staff training night on the mainland and that seemed to help us bond, except apparently it didn't. Apparently, my manager is two faced. She has been complaining to the regional who hired me & sent me out here, as well as to other managers. She talks "jokes" about my appearance to people at head office and is extremely nosy into my personal affairs right down to why do I bring coffee to work. Its bullshit is what it is, and today was like the icing on the cake. I read an email from her to another manager that said "Honey, its Tami we're dealing with" -- This would be to the manager that emailed the regional manager saying that she thinks my manager and I need "coaching" on our relationship. I was LIVID. However, before I carry on let me just say that my manager, cannot retain training and apparently head office has sent her several "lifelines" and even sending me out there was considered one of those "lifelines." I'm hoping this scenario will be "resolved" soon, because I loathe the fact that she is smearing my name amongst the other people in the company, and being nice to my face. It drives me up the fucking wall. Today she decided she wanted to give me a makeover and put 'bright' makeup on my face. I just want to throw it out there that the place I work for is about organic, and natural. Makeup like a clown, doesn't fucking fit in. So, we compromised. Rather than let her put her makeup on me which is disgusting and would be all the wrong colours, I told her I would wear makeup in tomorrow. (I've been wearing foundation & lip gloss, trying to stick with the "natural" feeling/theme of the place)
I shouldn't have to list out my finances for the past 6 months though
I shouldn't have to explain why I do or do not drink coffee
I shouldn't have to wear makeup if I don't bloody well want to!
I shouldn't have to be doing ALL of the administrative work because she can't remember any of her training
I shouldn't have to be putting up with having my name smeared behind my back to my peers.
The bitch of it all is that while she talks shit behind my back, she never thinks to mention it to me. What the fuck is she going to resolve by not mentioning it to me for fucks sake? I cannot explain to any who do not already know, just how much I -hate- that sort of bullshit.
She can't even ring in a certain type of transaction properly, WITH step by step instructions in front of her that SHE requested and printed out herself! She fucked even that up just on Tuesday!
I am so angry, and hurt, and upset right now, I just hope this situation resolves itself and SOON.
UGH.
Peeved,
Tami.
