All The Small Things
Work sucks, I know, but I didn't get left roses by the stairs (don't get it? Ask.)
I really hate the place I work. I know I say that alot but I just can't say it enough! Let me give you a little insight into my workplace.
My job in the mailroom consists of opening mail...maybe 15 minutes (if I'm lucky) twice a day, scanning any invoices, purchase orders, trip reciepts, or contract agreements that come to me from the assistants and agents and I also fax out any internal purchase orders that come to the office. That's it. I think most of my work, which is scattered throughout the day, takes me about 2 hours MAYBE 3 if I'm lucky. It's sad. The assistants I work with are completely satisfied with sitting around doing nothing all day. I've worked in too many fast paced places to be satisfied with a job that requires me to sit on my duff and stare at a computer screen all day. I don't see how anyone could be satisfied having no mental or phsyical stimulation all day long? I have one co-worker that left on short term disability because she couldn't do the job they gave her to do and it drove her crazy. So she went to her doctor and got a note so that she gets paid to stay at home now. Then there was another lady, she had a personal crisis in her life and went out on leave and then once she exhausted her leave she went on shared leave. Once she'd exhausted other peoples leave she was on leave without pay. Then she had to come back part time so she could pay her bills but only stayed long enough to obtain short term disability. Then she was outta here. She JUST came back last month and today let me know that she's leaving AGAIN! I can't take this. I don't like having to cover someone else's job and not getting paid to do it. It's not that she actually does anything other than enter purchase orders into a spreadsheet and answer the phone, it's more the fact that I don't like working with my supervisor. She's an awful person to have to deal with on a daily basis. Plus, it's not anymore work than I already do! I mean, I really REALLY need a job that utilizes my skills and gives me a chance to expand my knowledge and grow as a person.
So I've applied to two jobs this month and if I don't get something new I'm really seriously considering going out of here like the rest of the freaking crazy people I work with. I can't move up in this office. They're eliminating assistant positions every time someone leaves BECAUSE of the fact that so many of them don't do anything. I would actually really enjoy working as an assistant because I'd have a chance to learn new skills and constantly be doing something for one of the agents. I mean the fact that these assistants don't do anything has nothing to do with the fact that there isn't any work for them to do, it has to do with the fact that they just don't want to do the work that has been placed in front of them.
I swear I've applied for two hundred jobs since I started working here almost two years ago! I have been called in for four interviews and offered one job that they rescended the offer on because it was with the SBI and you can't have bad credit and work for them. So I'm still applying and not hearing ANYTHING back from anyone and it's really starting to depress me. I've got really great marketable skills, I'm a good person, I work hard, and I just can't understand to save my life why in the world I can't get hired by anyone else. My head hurts just thinking about it. So, what am I to do in the meantime? I'm supposed to keep working as hard as I possibly can in this stodgy crap whole and keep my nose clean... that's the best I can do I guess. Keep looking good for the people that could some day actually consider hiring me.
Pray for me people. That's all I ask. Pray for me to find something else to do or I will literally lose my freaking mind.
