Well, either I was dreaming and felt awake, or I am being jerked around. The Saga continues with my job. I do not think I am allowed to use language that would most realistically describe the way I feel right now. So I will use these little figures. & *^ %$^$#@ *&&!!!!!!!!. I went to my job today. I was told I would start today. The study center is closed for spring break, but I have always worked during breaks. But since I was starting again today, I obviously had no key. So I am waiting and finally decide to call my boss since no one is showing up to let me in. He is not available. About 20 minutes pass and I get a call from his secretary to call the vice chairman of the tribal council. My start date is being reset. Fine, so I call the vice chairman, got his voicemail. Left a message. 2 hours later, nothing. I call back my boss and he said that he did not really know what was going on. But that the v.c was suppose to call me so I knew not to come in! OKAY whatever. That they were suppose to have a meeting about when I would come back etc. He made it sound like it was still a question of if! I told him I already signed my reinstatement paper, and took the drug test. I am getting madder and madder each moment. But even my room mate could not believe how calm I was. As I could feel steam coming from my ears. SO, I call the tribal administrator, not in. I called the director of human resources. The man who told me start today. He will not be in until tomorrow. So, I have to fume until tomorrow. I know I should just relax since I know I can not even find out anything until tomorrow. But can I? Hell NO!
I am so frustrated. And talk about from High to Low! I have been on a cloud all weekend. Now I feel like I have been kicked under the dirt.
Thanks for listening! I will post tomorrows sage tomorrow! LOL

It sounds to me like one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing....a lack of communication. I'm sorry you are so frustrated and having that hurry up and wait thing going on. I so understand how that feels.

Wishing you some peace and answers very soon!

Curley, That sucks big time. But it just sounds like an administrative screwup to me. I hope it will all get sorted out in your favour very quickly.

I hope you have good news. I am sorry that you are being treated like your time is not valued therefore you are not valued.

How typical of the paper pushers......they have their secureity positions & don't think of how the little guy that has just gone through the horrible experience you have is feeling....they are in their own little worlds & sadly, your stress isn't a concern to them.....life is just going on for them.....where you are is a completely different place....excited to get back now that everything has cleared for you.

The paperwork is signed....everything has been set up for you to come back......the situation you came back to wasn't what you anticipated, & the words that were spoken weren't what you would have expected given the fact that you have gone through everything you have.....but they really don't know all the emotions you have gone through....so their words could definitely be insensitive.

The fact is that you have the paperwork that gets you back into your job......& there is nothing that can change that, so let that be one less worry. They didn't communicate to you what was really going on....not thinking about the spring break or really anything else....& no one communicates....that is obvious.....just the way the world works (even though we know that's wrong).

This might be a good time to adjust your expectations of going back to your job....it might be a good time to not go back & think that things will be just like they were when you were there before....it might be a good time to start fresh.....start as if the job were completely new to you & that your relations there are completely new.....keep your expections to "lets see how things go" & go with how they now are & now how they were. Give your job a whole fresh start & try to put away your frustrations & anger with the people because you don't want to have anything get in the way of your fresh start..... that one little angry or sarcastic word can do if we aren't careful when we are angry or frustrated with the situation we are in.

Calm yourself down & don't think the worst of the situation. Don't anticipate the bad which isn't actually there.....get yourself into a good frame of mind to start fresh & I'm sure that everything will go well.

lack of communication is a good way to describe that.
