:sweat: :bleh:

I'll bet. 70 miles a day would beat me down in no time flat.

man, work is getting quite busy for me! one of my co-workers left and i'm finding out how much she DIDN'T do while she was here! :grumble:

Cripes, today the VP is micromanaging now, probably at the urging of the Queen Mother.

Fascist managment. :smack:

You do that?! :hehe:


I used to. Now I don't even have a desk. It gets harder to find ways once you're not confined to a desk. :beaten:

There's always walls. :banghead:

The Queen Mother is gone for the rest of the day... :woot: :woot:

That's the way to start a weekend off right. :thumbsup: :dancing: :applaud:

Living on a horse farm is very cool but sometimesthe workload is relentless.
Feeding and mucking take place twice a day no matter what the wind or weather.

I JUST WANT TO SLEEP IN ONCE!!!!

Gotta go, its time to feed..... :doh:

it is one thing to work hard and receive some sort of acknowledgement for your hard efforts and determination, it is another if you don't receive anything but constant criticism and lack of any support/training, only to be given the boot. I am outta that despicable unprofessional place! and also it will save a bunch of commute wear and tear miles on my car and i don't have to face the unfriendly work environment, on to better things for my next employment, :fingerscrossed: :bonk:

thanks @bmw. I am going to need the luck, again in my next job. Perhaps a career switch to another field. :bonk: :fingerscrossed:

And closer to home. :)

Realizing that I may be 10 years younger than my other co-workers, and that this perhaps leads people in charge to take me less seriously, I am still put off by the fact that when I go to pick up a paycheck I am told, "Oh, it happens to unfortunately be in the locked cabinet. And Ms. XYZ is out on lunch. The extra key to the locked cabinet has been lost. So, well...nothing we can do until...Well, have a nice day. Sorry."
:shakehead: :shakehead:
Yes, there's only one master key that the friggin' owner doesn't even have, just one of the subordinates out eating lovely muffins and whatnot. So much for buying things that I needed. Thank goodness no rent now. Then we'd be talking late fees. :grumble: :grumble: Perhaps I am bad for going in at 2:30 pm, since I should've known that everyone with a key who's important goes to lunch at 2 instead of 11 or 12 like every other daytime job here...Imagine! :shocked:

OK, I feel better now. :victory:

Great...! That's why this thread is here... :D


Just don't tell your employer about it... :sweat:

thanks for the encouragement, and glad to have a place where i can vent out...

@bmw: yeah, i would like to find something a lot more local and not so far away. Less wear and tear on the old car and less visits to the ga$ station $$$. And less time listening the am 980 radio on the traffic reports and more on good music. :nyah:

That sounds about right. :hehe:

I have no idea what to do. I got a job offer after they put me through crap. The higher paying job I wanted isn't calling me back and won't let me inquire about status. I have another interview on Thursday somewhere else and I don't know the pay. Hiring processes take too damn long. I'm just afraid of accepting the lower paying one then getting a better offer when it's too late. I think I might just have to take it because nobody else is returning my calls :sweat:
