so, the job at crescent park? it's the first full time job that i've held for more than three months or so. 'cause every other time i've worked all day monday-friday i had to go back to school at the end of the summer, and consequently, quit the job. in anycase. i've been working in palo alto for just over seven months. and for the most part it's fairly rosy. but for the first time in my life i don't find my ego stroked by the presence of a boss... instead i find myself sorta intimidated and a little frustrated, kinda micro-managed/undermined and definitely condescended to. which is probably something that most people deal with constantly with their bosses. mine actually doesn't spend all that much time at the school, but because of recent staffing changes she's been around a lot, and very critical. and (stupidly?) i make an effort to ingratiate myself/help out/whatever by offering to do extra shit... which, of course, just reinforces for her that i don't already have enough to do. meh. it upsets me more than i should.
