Hello, welcome to another day in the Bowels of Hell. How may we not help you?

[snapdragon76]

Geez, one of these days, I'd like to have a Wednesday where I'm not going anywhere and I can just veg. Not even get out of my pajamas.

Well, yesterday was... interesting. I got a phone call from my supervisor. It seems someone narced on me and told her that I was using a chair to go in and out of the aisles when I was filing. Now, the section I do the most filing is in in Dermatology, which has a lot of charts even if they are fairly thin ones since its a specialty. So it takes me some time to get everything filed away. Not just charts, but documents that go into charts and pulling charts for appointments. Anyway, I was using an office chair while I do it since I can't stand on my feet for long periods of time since my back starts to hurt and I'm in a bit of pain by the end of the day.

Anyway, my supervisor called and told me not to use a chair anymore to go up and down the aisles anymore due to "safety issues." Now, even though I listen to my iPod when I work, I still make sure I paid attention to where I was going so I wouldn't run into anyone. I just don't understand anything anymore. It seems no matter what I do, I can't please that woman. First, I'm taken off of scanning, which I liked and was pretty good at. Then, I was sent to a new location doing who knows what, now this. I explained it to mom who said they might be trying to get me to quit. Why, I have no idea. I'd figured they'd want to hang onto their good workers, which I am. What difference does it make how I do my job as long as I do it.

If nothing comes of the Data Entry position, I'm seriously gonna look elsewhere for employment. Not just for the crappy way I'm being treated, but because of the whole "not having insurance" issue. Mom said that may be the reason they're not willing to hire me on full time. She also said that Medical Records has a high turnaround rate. I can see why. Come to think of it, this started to get more intense when I handed in my application to the other position. Of course, I was never given an explanation why I was moved... *shifty eyes* They may want me to quit, but I'm not leaving unless it's on my own terms. I don't need this shit.

I am looking into other places to work, so hopefully I'll have options. In the meantime, I just need to hang in there.

Anyway, today was pretty productive. I went and got gas (at almost $3.00 a gallon. *fumes*). Then I went to Best Buy because I wanted to get a longer Ethernet cable. While I was there, I bought Dreamgirls and American Doll Posse. So far, I'm liking it. Keep in mind, this is the first time I've actually bought a Tori album. All the other music of hers I have I acquired from others... But since quite a few on my FL got it and liked it and I generally like her songs, I decided to go and get it myself. So far, so good. No one song has really struck me as a favorite in the same way as, say, "China" or "1,000 Oceans" has, but I tend to listen more and something will emerge. I do like "Big Wheel" though. Kinda whimsical.

Then I went to the bookstore and picked up a few magazines, mostly PhotoShop related. Maybe I can learn something... I also go the third and last "Keeper" book by Tanya Huff. More Dean!!

Then I ate lunch at my fave Chinese place (Oolong tea! mmmmm!) and then got my oil changed, which was my main purpose of going out today.

Then, I stopped by the comic book shop. I heard Muse as I walked in the door and I gushed, being the good fan I am. I said, "OMG! Muse! I love them!" Then I got my Runaways digest and the newest Buffy. No next Legacy, though. Maybe next time.

I still have stuff I need to do yet. Better get that done. Then I might work some more on my MST3K transcripts...

Oh, and I'm sorry for my AIM cutting out on you elantis. It's being funky for some reason...

Yeah, at my old job they kept dropping how much I was paid an hour. Of course, they treated me like dirt all the time, so this was the final nail on the coffin for me. I'm sorry things aren't going well for you :(

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Man, that must really suck! It's bad enough to keep getting treated like dirt, but to dock your pay? Damn!

Yeah, hopefully I won't have to do it for much longer, one way or another...

That is totally unreasonable! What does it matter if you use a chair as long as you're getting the work done? *growls* I can't stand on my feet for long periods of time, either, so I sympathize and think this is very unfair. Some people are just mean. When I was nine months pregnant, my supervisor, who didn't like the fact that I was going to quit and stay home with the baby-to-be, made me file for long periods of time in the bottom drawers, which meant that I had to be on my knees, bent over. It was quite uncomfortable, and it wasn't even my job.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I totally sympathize (obviously). But making you bend over and file at nine months pregnant?! That's completely wrong.

And filing isn't even technically my job either. Besides, I'm not really all that needed over there anyway since they have more than enough people to do what needs to be done. However, right at this moment, I can't afford to quit, so I have to hang in there until something better comes along which hopefully will be soon...

I meant to add, good luck with the job hunting. I totally understand what it's like to have to hang in there. I did it at my last job for four years ...

sorry to hear about work..........

*hugs*

good luck to you.

Thanks, I appreciate the support.

Ugh, I can't imagine doing this for four years...

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I need it...

[toriru4ever.livejournal.com]

*hugs* that majorly blows! bah you should quit that job and find something better.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I can't afford to quit. I help mom pay some of the bills here, and the minuscule paycheck I get does help in that regards.

I hope I can find something better, and fairly soon. But I have to hang onto this one until I do...

I see that I'm not the only one who's having issues with their job. I already put my two week's notice in though. Tomorrow is my last day. I'm so done with them. Trust me my friend. I really understand your pain -__-'.

[f-ireworks.livejournal.com]

I'm really aggravated at those people at your job. I wish I could give 'em a piece of my mind! Why, just why, are people like that sometimes?! I'm sorry that things are not going well, and I hope that you can find a better place soon *sends hugs*

Eew... Thats a bad thing your boss-person is doing to you.
My "worst job experience" was when I was a Temp at my "new" college... it erned looks from my boss because I wasn't social enough with my co-workers and a busy body. Because of that I didn't get hired on permantly.
There's just no pleasing 'em.

And don't worry about the AIM thing... Technology seems to be hating you lately.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Well, unfortunately as much as I like to quit, I can't. I have too many responsibilities. It really sucks, though...

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon. Believe me, I wish I could say some of the things I've been feeling, but alas, I cannot. I have to play it safe for the time being.

I don't know. I used to not have any problems whatsoever for quite some time. Then, all of a sudden, a couple of months ago, things started to change. I was never given any explanation for any of it. It's curious.

So do I, dear. So do I.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but there's nothing I can do about it. I just hope that I can find something better soon...

I think I remember you mentioning this before. What would they rather have you do? Socialize or work? I don't get it...

It seems better now. Watch me jinx myself...
