Boring Day....
Posted: 05-10-07 11:31am

I don't know why I'm posting this except I have nothing better to do right now. I'm so bored and lonely today. Normally I would be working full time but I've been off work and school since the middle of March because of my surgery. I shouldn't be complaining because I know it would be hard to work right now when I have a hard time just walking or standing for a long time. I'm just tired of spending so much time at home alone. There is a healthy baby program on at 1:30 today and I think I will try it out just to see what they're like. They're put on free mostly for low income mothers and I think there are a lot of really young moms there so I don't know how much I'll fit in but I'll give it a shot I suppose. I might learn a thing or two from them you never know. I like to think I know a lot about pregnancy but it's all from researching in books and my own experience. When it comes to babies, I don't have a lot of experience so that might be interesting to be around some newborns. I'm just trying really hard not to get depressed and to enjoy the time I have left with my baby safe inside me. My partner works a lot and is tired when he gets home and I don't have any friends my age who aren't busy with career and family. Blah, I'm so feeling sorry for myself today!! .L.O.L.

Anyway, I feel better now that I've vented a little. I'm gonna go find something to do.

I *was* an a/p manager. Until my division moved to texas. (and my dh refused to go too Rolling Eyes ) So they gave me a job offer to stay here in the it dept. I was thrilled. (more money) Then at the last min they said I wouldn't be going to IT that I was needed in a different division as a clerk. And the same pay I was previously making. I wasn't happy, but they said that there would be "movement" and I would be in a different position in a few months. It is now 5 months later and I am tired of waiting. I hate the people I work with. (more importantly they hate me) and I think there are two people in line in front of me for advancement now Evil or
Very Mad I'm not happy. I'm having a meeting tomorrow with my supervisor (a former co-worker *not* boss) to let him know how unhappy I am and tell him to fix it now or I'm out.

In my previous job, I loved and hated being in management. I was promoted to management because they fired my boss and I was the best candidate that knew how to do the job. I hated how the upper management would pass over people who were very deserving of moving up the latter only to hire someone else from the outside that had no clue how to do their job. Then the people who had been there for a long time had to "train" the manager how to do their job. Now to me, that would make the person who was training the manager perfectly capable of doing the managers job if they are training them to do it in the first place right???

I would definitely talk to whom ever you need to in order to voice your concerns. It might help to make a list of all the "duties" that you are responsible for and anything "new" that you have picked up since they moved you. That way you will have some ammo to show them how valueable you are to them. I always liked when people came to me with that. My only other suggestion is to tell your supervisor that you are unhappy with your work assignment, or your coworkers, but don't go overboard. They might think that you are just there to complain instead of trying to do a good job.

I hope you find a better job soon so that you don't have to worry about your working situation. It is always nice to be able to go to work and actually feel like you are needed. You deserve that.

Good luck

Kearbear I love the new avatar!!

Star-I'm an asset. I know that, they know that. I had to prove myself to become management (my age is a huge factor) and they know that I did a good job and would be overly qualified for another management position. There just aren't any available. And I'm getting tired of waiting. I don't just want to be on hold till its convenient to them. I could easily get another job making more money.

The responsibility is whats killing me. I have none! At all. That's how I can spend so much time on here. I'm used to being in control of everything and having a say. Now I just show up and do busy work. I hate it Rolling Eyes

I feel that way a lot with my job..I work at a hospital at the information desk, I hate answering the phones and saying the same things over and over. People are usually not in the best mood when they are in a hospital either and I get yelled at a lot, probably a lot more then some of my co-workers or so it seems, and they expect me to know everything, grrr. So I am on here a lot at work and it gives me something to do when there are slow times(rarely though).

Kaerbear, glad you got out of the house for a while. Hope your night is better and not as boring Smile

Christy, Good luck with you job situation, hope you find something that makes you happier. I know I want to, lol Smile
