I know I'm not delusional enough to think everyone else is the problem when it's really me. Yes, I have a lower tolerance for working a job I don't like, but I somehow manage to get myself into jobs filled with weird people, weird situations...just generally weird things. I know part the problem is that I've never had a career job, so I end up in "day jobs" that have little to nothing to do with my real interests. That being said, my current job is the weirdest yet. My boss has no boundaries, is a horrible judge of character, and has zero interest in running a business since she had a baby two years ago. This sounds dramatic, so here are some examples: she told me a few weeks into my employment that the other front desk girl had "borrowed" over $2500 worth of copay money and has yet to pay any of it back. Yes, this girl still works there. She has no friends to speak of, and married her husband because she liked the "challenge" of his emotional wall (about 95% of the things she's ever said about him are negative). I pointed out to her this week that the payroll company had paid me for an extra day, and she thanked me for telling her, because she "never would have noticed."
Now I'm training a new front desk girl, because the other one is returning to the restaurant industry (by choice-crazy!), and this girl did not impress me on her first day. I want to run away as fast as I can and never look back! Unfortunately, I'm stuck training the new girl. I really, really hope this was just first day jitters and she shapes up asap. She seems stuck on things like the fact that we don't get a lunch break and we don't have pens with our logo on them. More important things to focus on, my friend!!
Once she's trained up, I'm outta there! I just hope I can make it until then :(
