I'm sorry I haven't been around much. Not a whole lot is happening, and I don't want to just complain all the time. I figure silence is better than the same old "poor me."  For everybody!

But today... Today I nearly walked off the job.  I was mentally figuring out how much stuff I have and if I would need more than one load.  In the end I didn't do anything, but I did send a letter to the big boss, and told him point blank that if my supervisor really doesn't think I can do the job, and he agrees, than he should just let me go.  Because I'm sick of being treated like I don't know what I'm doing.

He ended up pulling me aside five minutes before I was set to leave for the day, to get my side of the story.  And I told him, I'm tired of it.  I can tell he doesn't want me to leave, mostly because he doesn't want to train someone new, but he still isn't listening to what I'm saying.  And I guess he thinks it's perfectly all right to beret an employee in front of the patients, because when I brought that up, he pretty much just shrugged and said he would talk to my boss.

So, yeah.  Almost quit, but didn't.  I know it's better this way, but still.  It was very, very tempting.

In other news, I'm trying to get my writing mojo back. I'm taking a class on Monday's called Women's Creativity, and I'm hoping it helps me get the words flowing again.  We had fun last night drawing things and going over stuff, and it's such a small class, only 5 or 6 people, and all women, so I feel really comfortable.

I've taken a few other classes with the group, and I always have a good time.  So, hopefully, there may be some new fanfic in the future.  I want to get back into writing hobbits, and more Sherlock Holmes.

That's basically all that's been happening with me lately.  Take care everyone, and if you could send some good thoughts my way towards a new job I would appreciate it.  I've had a few nibbles, but  no bites yet.  *Fingers crossed for something soon*

Probably good that you didn't quit yet, and at least you got the chance to get a load off your chest. And it's clear the big boss doesn't want the hassle of you quitting, so maybe he *will* say something to your supervisor to lay off you. Maybe.

I want to get back into writing hobbits, and more Sherlock Holmes.

This makes me grin big-time! (((hugs)))

I'm glad I didn't quit either. I know I can't get unemployment if I do, and I'm not financially set for that. But I told the big boss that if he didn't think I was doing my job well enough, then he needs to let me go. Basically, I tried to call him to the carpet, and he wimped out.

I really want to write more. I just have to try and nurse that little spark back into life.

It sounds like your boss is an idiot. I wished, I had your courage :)
Writing class sounds great. Have fun! Write! Thumbs up for more Hobbits and Sherlock Holmes.

*sends thoughts of RDJude kissing!!!* *g*

Lol! I don't know if idiot is the term, but definitely a crap manager.

Hhmmmm, RDJude kissing.

I'll be sending good thoughts for a great job your way, too!

I hope I can come visit. I miss everyone over there.

Also, I got your wonderful package today, thank you so, so much! It just brightened my whole week. *Hugs*

Always get them to fire you, if you can, so you can collect unemployment. :)

Unless, of course, you find that better job first. Then you can toss the old one in their face! *beaming large amounts of good new job thoughts at pip*

Yeah, I tried to force his hand, or call his bluff, and it seems I called his bluff. I wrote him an email asking for the mediation, and I told him that if he agrees with Sue and thinks I'm not doing my job well, then he needs to let me go.

I'm still looking, and one of the gals told me to put her down as a reference. She's looking, too. Also, she was really cool and pulled Big Boss aside this morning and backed up what I had said yesterday. She hadn't been able to then, because she left really early in the morning. I'm really glad she had my back.

Good for you for putting it in writing!

And good on your colleague, too. :)
