I'm Exhausted and I Don't Want To Be Here
Thank God the holidays are over. I'm exhausted. Saturday we had to get up early and get haircuts; Saturday we celebrated Christmas with my hubby's brother and his family. We did not get home until 2:00 a.m. On Sunday was dinner at my parents and we did not get home until midnight. On Monday it was up early to go to the hubby's parents' house and then back to my parents' house. Luckily we got home before 9:00 p.m. It was also lucky that we had Tuesday off too.
I just don't really want to be here at work. I'm pretty mad and upset with these guys. I did not get anything from them for Christmas. I usually get a $100 gift card. All I got was a Merry Christmas and did all the holiday cards get mailed. It probably wouldn't bother me so much except that I have been here for 20 years. I was upset when all I got was a $5,000 bonus in August. I was hoping that it would have been a little bit more. I mean, I've been here so frickin long. I seen this firm grow; I've seen lay-offs and downsizing; I've been here through some pretty tough times. At the moment, I'm the ONLY support staff. I do the secretarial work, answer the phones, do the billings, do all the filing (these guys can't even put something in a folder that is sitting on their desk), I make sure the bills get paid, I order supplies (heaven forbid if we ran out of post-it-notes); basically, I pretty much do everything. They keep promising to hire someone part-time to help me but that hasn't happened.
I NEED A VACATION! We're taking a few days off in February to go to Ely. That will be nice but unfortunately I have phone service there. Maybe I can tell them that I forgot to bring my phone charger and just never turn on my phone. That would be so nice; but, I won't do that.
I think I've complained enough. I need to check on a photo excursion for us to take when we are in Ely. It sounds great. I'll give more details later.
