This too has passed

piploverThe state of me. A lot has happened the past several months, and some of this is rehash, so I'm putting it under a cut to spare your LJs.
Work, for a little while, was absolutely horrible. After I had filed my complaint, and dealt with HR, it seemed as though nothing was going to be done. I really began to despair, and was buckling down with looking for new jobs. But then, my boss was moved to a new position in the building, and was no longer my boss. It was like a ray of sunshine filled the office, and things became, for me, so much better. The tension, and a good deal of the stress, seemed to have left overnight.
That is, until three of the other girls decided that her leaving was my fault, and decided that I needed to be made as miserable as possible. This included stealing my pens and chapstick, telling lies about my performance to the site manager, ordering me around as though they were now my boss, being rude to me, and trying to give me tasks which had nothing to do with my job.
It really wasn't so bad, because after dealing my my boss, I was able to pretty much brush them off. They didn't have power over me, and the petty shit they were pulling wasn't worth getting my back up. However, when the big boss pulled me into a meeting to see how things were going, I told him straight up what was going on. I also told him that I had had it was looking for a different position, and that quite frankly I was sick of the BS. I really had nothing to lose, and him being the all powerful head honcho didn't scare me. I don't know why, maybe because I was just so sick of dealing with everything. And he told me about my new position.
So I got a little bit of training, and the other office girls stopped their BS for the most part, but I was still rather in limbo, and I still hadn't received my pay raise, like I was supposed to. But honestly, the big stress in my life is gone, and I'm really trying not to sweat the small stuff. So life is good.
Then I found out a friend I've known since high school passed away. I went to her funeral on Wednesday. Right before I left work, I was told I was going to be moving to another building the next day. It was a bit overwhelming.
Thursday was a whirlwind. I got to say to most of the people I wanted to, and then I was taken to the building just down the street where I am now working. I really, really like the people there, and my new boss is so nice. I love her. She's amazing and supportive and makes me want to try harder to do my job well. And even though I'm scared I'm not going to get everything, because there's so much information being thrown my way, I'm going to do my damnedest to do the best I can, because I'm actually really looking forward to going to work next week. I haven't been able to say that in a long time.
Also, my dad's insurance checks came through, both mine and my sister's. So we were able to split up the money, and most of my bills have been paid. At the least, I'm all caught up. I've even been able to go out and buy some extra stuff, like a new pair of shoes and a sun hat. I haven't been able to do that in a long, long time.
I think, for the first time in a really, really long time, the world is finally coming together for the moment. I don't expect it to last, because peace rarely does, but I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it while it does.
So, this is the state of me. I hope everyone else is doing well, and I'm going to try and update more, now that hopefully I'll have more things to say than just, woe is me!
Take care, and have a great day!

Date: 2014-06-18 03:49 am (UTC)Thanks, sweetie. I actually find myself looking forward to work in the morning, which is something I didn't think would be happening any time soon. I'm so much more relaxed now, and I just hope things keep getting better.
