Another day, another dollar.

As I was leaving work today my manager gave me a form and told me we were going to do an evaluation tomorrow.  Basically, I have a feeling they're going to tell me, again, how I'm not doing my job very well and that they are putting me on probation or some other such nonsense.  At this point, I'm pretty much fed up of the whole damn thing.  Either let me go and stop holding my job hostage, or leave me in peace.

Honestly, it's very frustrating.  I had a doctor call today to ask if he could schedule for tomorrow. I had never heard of this doctor, and when I asked him to clarify his name, I repeated it back to him to make sure I had heard correctly.  He told me I had.  I then transferred him to my boss, who was scheduling.  She then told me that I had told her the wrong name, and that I need to clarify.  I told her, as politely as I could, that I had clarified, and that he had confirmed the name I repeated.  I don't know what else I could have done in that situation.

I'm so fed up with everything. I thought that leaving Amazon would be a step up, but instead I took a dollar pay cut and am actually almost more miserable than I was before.  God help me, but I've even thought of going back to Amazon, though I wouldn't take a job there unless it was in HR or some other branch. There is just no way I could go back to being on the call floor.

And I really can't go back to retail.   I just can't. I've had it with putting up with hateful people, and I'm not going to do it anymore. I have a BA, for pity's sake.  I have an AA.  I have military service behind me.  I want a job that I can go to and be happy about.  I want a job that, even though it will have its ups and downs, I will want to stick with because I enjoy it.  I want a damn career!

Anyway, I'm wearing my blue and white polka dot dress tomorrow that I love, and I will rock red heals, and they can just kiss my ass.  I'm tired of this shit.

You show 'em, Tiger!

(And I hope you have the perfect job--or even the really-good-most-of-the-time job--fall into your lap at just the right time to rub their noses in it!)

Thanks!

I'm really hoping I can find a new job before I am released from this one, because I really can't see them keeping me much longer. Oh, well.

I'm sorry your work is being so stressful. I hope the evaluation goes better than you anticipate. *hugs*

Thanks, hon. No evaluation today, but I'm not surprised. I think the fact I'm to the point where I don't care anymore has helped me have a good day today.

You go, Pip. Go get 'em.

Sounds like you might have some mindfuckery going on there with the management. WTF about that name stuff?

[piplover.livejournal.com]

It's basically just my manager being snippy and expecting the worst from me. I'm kind of used to it by now, even if it does still piss me off.

I did, however, totally rock my look today. I'm gonna post a picture in a minute.

You have done such a lot of things, certainly there must be other employments available for you, You can´t get some kind of office job in the military? Surely it must be a merit to have done military service.

I wish the very best for you.

Thanks. I wish I could get a job with the military, or the VA. But those are federal job, and to get into one is like surviving the Inquisition. I've turned in applications to them and they tend to fall into a deep dark hole. But I do keep trying, because I would love to.

((((hugs))))

Perhaps there's something you'd like to do for yourself? Do you have any interests that could lead you into being your OWN boss? I know there are special loans and such that having been in the military might make available to you.

I would love to look into getting my own business. I have been thinking of genealogy, but I have to get accredited first. Also, I would love to work on becoming fluent in Russian and becoming a translator. The only problem is finding a school where I can become fluent enough to accomplish that. Sigh.

I hope today is going well, my friend. I'm truly sorry you have to keep going through this.

Thanks, hon. I know a bitch a lot on here, and I'm trying not to. I just had hoped things like this were part of the past. I did have a good day, though.
