This is just a quick update while I have 10 minutes. It probably won't take you 10 minutes to read it.
I still haven't heard anything about my promotion at work. I'm becoming increasingly angry with the company I work for, for its unreliability and its general lack of communication. Over Christmas I worked my arse off; I worked 55 hours a week, worked some 16-day stints, and constantly ran around after other people. I made myself sick with stress, and carried on going in when I was so ill I could barely talk, because it was my job, because it had to be done, and because I cared. I did everything I could to keep the place open and profitable despite no managerial training. And I did. We beat our budget for that month. And now I can't get hold of a single superior member of staff to help me out. I feel useless at work because they've replaced me with somebody else, who, since they're training, does all the jobs I would usually do. I don't feel happy when I go in in the morning, I just feel de-motivated and fed-up. I recently found out that the company really screwed over my old manager, which was a contributing factor to his leaving, and it makes me not want to work for them. But I know that working for this company presents me with a lot of opportunities that I wouldn't otherwise have. I never thought I'd say it, but I cannot wait for everything to change.
I'm going out with Bert to buy a shiny laptop tomorrow. I thought I'd have to pay for it, but as it turns out I can buy it with the money my grandparents gave to me for important things, since I'm buying it for college. I'm quite excited.
Everybody has gone back to uni now. It's sad. Myself and Storm are making plans for our birthday weekend though, and I've booked the entire week off work. Hooray!
