It's all pointless.....

Today is Monday. They all want to change the design concept again. That means I haveto rwork and revise all of the last week projects.

Grgrgrgrgrrrrrrr...... What the..? Can't they be consistent at least? I'm barely working on the new projects. They have been snowballing since I have to working on the same project over and over.

So angry right now I can't type prperly or use the rght grammar.

Cant wait to quit.

Ugh, I have spent half the day dealing with something so stupid and worthless that it should be eliminated from the content we publish. What a waste of time! On top of that I have had to clean up countless of the bimbette's messes. Then, I spent half an hour helping a co-worker with something in Portuguese. She gets 6 quick updates out of the information I helped her with added to her stats. I get nothing. I hate that the editor told everyone I speak Portuguese. I keep getting requests for help. If it were actually appreciated by my boss it would be one thing, but of course it is not.


And to top it off, our boss is on another of her constant medical leaves. I needed to ask 3 times between her boss and HR to get approval to take tomorrow off since, even though I sent a request before her leave, she never got around to approving it. Apart from those administrative things, her absence shows how worthless she is.

In the same boat. My employer has been very understanding with my health issues, (chronic migraines). These have subsided but now I am struggling with my mental health and cannot afford to miss any more work. Meds make it hard to stay awake and even when I am feeling okay, I have a hard time thinking clearly enough to feel engaged in my work. More of a gripe with my health I suppose but still work related.

My new coworker came up right behind me today and didn’t say anything until I turned around and saw her. It was a little bit creepy. I honestly thought she was going to ask for some of my chips and guacamole because she was that close to me and I didn’t know what else she would want. It turned out she just wanted to introduce herself to me. Which was nice but creeping up on me like that was just a weird thing to do. Also there’s a new manager but I haven’t met him yet. I’ve heard from other people that he’s nice. Every manager is nice when they first start though. I’m not sure my job would let someone get away with someone being a complete *** to people though. All in all they are a decent company to work for.

It annoys me when people post on Facebook about spending alot of money frivolously but they don’t have a job but they also post about getting social security. I wouldn’t necessarily be posting that if I was them. Someone could report them to social security.

When you train the new person and they get cranky when you offer to help them do something and they say in a rude way “I can do it” well excuse the **** out of me I didn’t want to train you in the first place but I was forced to do it by management.

AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Ah. That's better....So how was everyone else's day???

[Mountaindewed]

Why did all those posts get deleted?

[Mountaindewed]

I was texting one of my coworkers and she said the new coworker was being pretty nasty to her. So she’s not being that way only to me and it’s nothing I’m doing. But I find that really rude to come into a work space as a new equal employee and start bullying the other employees who have been there way longer then you have. Does anyone else agree with me?

[puzzclar]

Please email me I want to start I'm job less and I cannot handle being without a job!!!!!!

I worked with that new coworker all day today and had no issues. Someone jammed the compacter real bad though and was told to stay and finish all the garbage but there was a huge amount of it and she couldn’t really leave because we can’t leave the back room unattended but everyone just left and went home and left her to deal with the mess herself. I mean it’s her own fault for jamming the thing in the first place.

Communication is poor at my workplace. There was an outburst this week that I didn't witness. The other new hires did though. We were put in the middle of someone else's conflict which isn't fair to us. Since that happened everyone is careful about what they say and do. The atmosphere at work was particularly horrible yesterday. I felt like leaving around noon to get away from it.

I have been at this place since the end of April and am still in training. It has gone on way too long. The new training program was poorly planned out. I'm bored, because there is very little to do.

Since the outburst we are not allowed to do anything but work on the training. I wish we were told that right at the beginning, on the very first day.

Hopefully work goes better then it did on Friday. I plan on just asking my manager if I am supposed to be off on that day I normally work. If he says yes I am supposed to be off then I’m going to bring it up with my therapist who was the one who told me to tell them about my anxiety in the first place.

we had a great day at work. just enough customers to make it ok, one manager bought drinks for everyone, I bought a pizza near dinner time and we all ate in the back room (in shifts). decided that on sundays when everyone is there we will order out Chinese, mickey d's or pizza just as a fun thing and as a way to end up eating at a normal time.

plus we had roofers. roofers. big handsome roofers. who needed to be checked on many times ...so we all divvied up that terrible job (not :-) )..safety it's a priority!

it was a good one!

Work was incredibly stressful for about half an hour but I had Xanax on me so I took one and then I felt totally fine for the rest of the day. There wasn’t anyone to ask about the schedule though. Hopefully there will be someone tomorrow.

Huge gripe: A recruiter offered me the chance to interview for an admin role that doesn't pay more than $22/hr to support 16 account executives. Um, 16?! 16 Outlook calendars. 16 travel arrangements. 16 expense reports. What IS IT with these companies' human resource staff, that they think one person can effectively support 16 people at the same time?! That is inhumane, that is! I told the recruiter today that my limit is 6 people -- no way could I handle 16 people's Outlook calendars at the same time. That is just ludicrous.

The new coworker was being rude again today. She got a big box to put garbage in and then put the box by her side so I couldn’t use it too. When we get big boxes like that for garbage we are supposed to put them in the middle and share them and not keep them to ourselves. She is just really rude.

[Mountaindewed]

My coworker was trying to get the time of our break changed to a later time and I didn’t understand why. We always take our break at the same time and we’ve been taking it at that time for months. I didn’t get what her problem was. It was like she was trying to manipulate the system or something to her or advantage. Someone said a few months ago she likes to take her break later. Dude if you need accommodations be honest and don’t act all shady about it.

[Mountaindewed]

Not too much to complain about today. I just wish my coworker would offer to take the garbage once in awhile. I was doing it all day and I was in a lot of discomfort. I didn’t realize the extent of my pain until I got off work though. I was really quiet all day and I may have been coming off as being *****y because I wasn’t talking much but in general the day was fine. I hope tomorrow isn’t a repeat of last Friday though.

[puzzclar]

So much information!!!!! I need lots of training

[Mountaindewed]

I’m feeling a lot better about yesterday. I’ve blocked a lot of what happened yesterday. I may just end up telling them I can’t work Fridays at all if they are stressing me out this much. I already have issues with my ride on Fridays.

[Mountaindewed]

I want to call in. I feel awful physically and my anxiety is high. But I’m sure the person who calls in twice a week is going to call in. And probably someone else as well. So I should probably just go in and ignore people. Most likely that manager and supervisor will be there though.

people who bring their kids into the store to "shop" and it's basically a playground for them...for 30 minutes the kids run free causing havoc while mom fills up the cart . she gets to the register and oops...I have no $$$...so off they go. probably 1/2 the store is in their pockets as well. and then you need to spend time fixing everything behind them.

employees who jerk the system around because they are so special...they need the extra breaks, (no disability just entitlement) extra long lunch, can't work this register (she's right handed wtf?,) and then disappears and does nothing for hours. others call out every few days, some ***** and moan about working but yet still like the paycheck..it's work...it's not supposed to be a day at 6 flags...

I don't get the issues....we are adults...it is no one's first stab at employment. come in, do the work, go home. rinse repeat. not happy find someplace else. it isn't a difficult store to work in...seriously, i'm much older then most of them & if I can do it, then they can..maybe it's an issue of won't, not can't...who knows.

I feel ya. I was just thinking this morning that for all my complaints, and my disabilities and issues, that I have it pretty damn good. This is a scary world, but at least I have a place to live, my dogs, food in my fridge, etc...not saying that none of our problems are valid, we have totally valid issues, but I'm just thinking about how grateful I am and how a grateful attitude sort of changes my perspective...I think more people could try on a grateful attitude and see that it helps them feel better.

Don't worry, I'm still going to complain about petty ****. HAH!
