My secret has been revealed: I don’t work on Friday and there’s no one to take my place. Blah!
I know I shouldn’t dwell on work so much, but since baseball season is over, I’ll take the opportunity to vent.
Why do they think my job is easy? Why don’t they understand that my position is the culmination of all the other jobs in the office? I am not saying that no one else can learn my job, but I am saying that you need to know the other jobs first. And you can’t learn the other jobs in a week or a month or even six months. So what makes TIIC think that I can train someone in a less than a week to do my job? I CAN’T. I WON’T. And if I am “ordered” to do so, I will NOT be responsible for any mistakes made. I will warn them. I have warned them.
I’m really getting extremely irritated by the utter idiocy of my workplace. And I let it out a little today in muster. I couldn’t help it.
I try to do a good job. I believe that I do my best. But why can’t that translate into some kind of influence as to the flow of work? Why can’t I suggest something sensible and have my suggestion seriously considered? Why do I and some of others who are well versed in the office have to listen to back-handed compliments that sound more like insults and threats?
The world is an unfair place. Nothing goes the way it should. And if you can help, don’t work for the government. The institution does its best to suck the life out of you.
I refused to have my soul sucked out of me!
BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN THE POOL
I came home and we took a little time to relax in the pool. How nice it is to be in the warm water with the stars bright above. Lovely!
Oh, but before I got changed into my swimsuit, I saw on the dining room table the very things I wanted to buy today: Harry’s CD and season 2 of Coupling. Woohoo! 😀
And as much as I love the short drive after work, I long for my own house and my own bed and only two dogs to fuss over. Just two more days…
