>.< (I'm about to complain, feel free to ignore this post)
Gah, work is sucking right now ;-;
Okay, so when I was hired here (State of Oregon, Printing and Distribution) it was as a temp, to cover for a person who was leaving to work at another place. I was working graveyard, and in about 2 months I was able to do the job completely without any help. So far, so good. Next I was told that they were looking to hire someone into the position I had just learned, fine. Then I was told that I had to train the person to replace me, leaving me jobless, how considerate of them. (them being management) So now the person that I'm training is instantly hired full time. This is 5 months ago, and that person is still not fully trained. I mean, why not just hire me now that I'm fully trained? Well apparently, I have to have 12-months of experience in printing first. WTC. So, even though I'm fully trained and can run the shift myself, I am not "qualified" to do the job that I -am doing-. So, instead of just letting me continue to work as a temp in the position until I -am- "Qualified", they feel the need to hire someone else, so that I can train them. (Note that at this time the other graveyard operator is busy training yet another person being hired for the position I'm working, so now there are two operators, training two other people, [for a total of 4 people] doing a job that only requires 1 person! >.
< So now, one person is fully trained, and the other operator can take over training the person that I formerly was.
So of course, I'm taken off of graveyard, which is a shift I -liked-. Now I'm on Swingshift (2:00pm-10:30pm). I hate this shift, but I was still okay as long as I was working. But of course, the fact that -they- moved me to swingshift, means that I am no longer able to work here. Why? Because my father is the supervisor for the day/swingshift. And I can't work under him because of stupid legal reasons. So, -they- moved me to a shift that they knew would mean they have to fire me, great.
Through some manner of paperwork, or something, I'm not even sure, I am now supposed to be working this shift until the end of Session (which could be June or July). Now, in June I'll have 12-months experience, and be "Qualified", but now that I'm on Swingshift, that means I could never be hired, regardless of the 12-months that I've been working towards this whole time. Management is manipulative and likes to lead people on just to turn around and say "I never actually 'said' that", etc) I've seen enough of it already in these 7 months. And this whole scenario is starting to suck, really bad.
Now, all along people have complained about me being employed, soley based on the fact that my father works in the same building. Granted, it -was- him who asked if I could be considered for the temporary position in the first place, at the time he was -not- a supervisor. I mean, if I hadn't been ale to do the job, then I would have been fired, right? Well everyone likes to complain about how the only reason I'm allowed to work here is because my father, in management, is somehow forcing them to keep me employed because I'm his son. WTF, obviously the work is getting done, so apparently I'm able to do it, so all those people can STFU.
I mean, from what I hear, Wing's mom has even complained about it, -at DMV-, or at least didn't seem to think highly of it. I mean, my dad and Wing's mom communicate all the time for work reasons. And until I said anything, they didn't even realize that they had met outside of work. And before that I hadn't heard of her complaining any. Mayeb taht's just coincidence now, but this crap is starting to make me angry.
And now, most recently. Last night, I was dehydrated pretty bad, though of course, I didn't notice until it was bad enough to where I was nearly blacking out. And I think that this somehow triggered my asthma, becasue suddenly I could hardly breathe. Well, after finding my inhaler and using it a couple times I seemed to be able to breathe again, but I was still feeling really light-headed and like I might blackout anytime. I had been at work 6 of my 8 hours, so I wasn't too worried about going home ill. So I got a ride home around 8:00pm.
This morning I was woken up to a phone call from my father, asking if I had been going around bragging to the other workers that I made more than them. Okay, seriously WTF?! For one, I -don't- make as much as -anyone- else here that I know of. So, now people have reached a new low, and are actually spreading rumors about me. Seriously people, getting a f***** life! >.<
And so, now I'm being told that I need to basically avoid everyone else until this is all sorted out. This job, is sucking, a lot right now.
I need to go get a permit so that I can take the Reader's Digest version of learning to drive and get my license ASAP. Why? Because I need a car. If I had a car, then I would be able to find a job somewhere else. Reason being, at the moment, I depend on my father for a ride partially, and without it, it would be much more difficult getting to work.
As -soon- as I am able to get a job somewhere else, I am so leaving here, because obviously people don't want me here, and this whole situation is just starting to plain piss me off.
And I'll end with the always helpful insight of the Google Daily Horoscope:

Stay aware of your own anger, especially as you communicate with others at work. You might be feeling blocked at a very deep level and yet you have the potential to work through these blockages now. Your fantasies offer you an easy escape, but keep in mind that they won't help solve any of your current issues.
