piplover: (Stayed in bed)
[personal profile] piplover
The past few days have been pretty miserable. I haven't felt good, and work has been especially trying. I was so sick yesterday I had to leave a few hours early. It didn't help that one of the customers was an absolute monster. Told me to go kill myself when I wouldn't magically fix his problem. Yeah, I hung up on him.

I just had a meeting with my boss, who had some "very serious concerns" about my desire to stay with the company.

Mostly because my main supervisor told her I haven't been using the tools he's given me, which is complete and utter BS. I may want to leave this hell hole sooner rather than later, but that doesn't mean I want to lose it before I have another job. I have to have the financial security. If I can get unemployment, then yay! Go ahead and let me go. But I do rather like being able to get groceries and pay the bills. So I'm doing what I can to bring my numbers down.

I guess what it comes down to is keeping my head down, my mouth shut, and doing the best I can until they get rid of me or I can find something else.

The other job I interviewed for was a bust. Still, I'm working with my case worker at Worksource, and just keeping my fingers crossed. It also helps that the VA is working with me too, in the rehabilitation program. Basically they offer an incentive for employers to hire me because they pay for the majority of the training.  

I'm just so tired of this.  I'm physically and emotionally tired, and my health has been going down the last few months. The pain in my stomach has come back, and my back and knee have been bothering me more.  I have to drag myself out of bed, even when I've had 8 or 9 hours of sleep.  I really need to get out of this place. 

((((Hugs to flist))))

I know you're tired. You've persevered a lot longer than you thought you could. I have my fingers crossed you find a wonderful new job soon.

*hugs you very tightly*

Oh. My. God. I've had some obnoxious customers in my time, but that is apalling!

I really hope that something better comes along for you very, very soon. *hugs*

I'm looking, and hoping I can find something soon. I just can't wait to get out of there.

Thanks. I'm hoping something will come up soon, I just want a job where I actually look forward to going to work and dealing with people again.

Thanks. I think the only thing I can do is what I've been doing - putting out resumes and praying and hoping something comes through.

I miss you too!! When you are going to have a computer again? I need to brainstorm ideas because I want to write!

He was truly horrendous. I actually got off lucky. I had to review some of his previous contacts and the things he said to others was just appalling! I was quite happy to see his account got closed and he's been banned.

I really want another job, because unfortunately, customers like him aren't that rare. Ugh.

*Hugs*

Right now it looks like a month and a half. I get paid bi-weekly so it takes a bit longer. Since a good chunk of my paycheck goes into savings for flat-funding, it'll take about three paychecks to get enough spending money together after paying bills to afford the computer. However! I have found him:

I won't know his name until he arrives, but that's my new baby.

Nice!

I suppose I can suffer along without you for a while. But I miss you! And I NEED to brainstorm. It's painful, Penni! My brain has ideas but I can't write!

Well I've still got Hugh. But running Skype pretty much means I can't run anything else.
