I'm sitting here at work eating veggie pretzels after lunch and listening to a coworker talk about her husband. It IS kind of funny.... but I can understand her frustration. Truly I can! Her husband grilled hamburgers - and put the cooked hamburgers back in the wrapper from the butcher. And didn't secure the wrapping. So when she opened the refrigerator, not only were the semi-wrapped burgers staring her in the face, the odor of cooked burgers was throughout the refrigerator. Gotta just sit here and shake my head.
I'm struggling today. I don't really want to be here today. I'm somewhat bored, and my new boss just doesn't talk much to me. Others have noticed it too. That my new boss doesn't talk to me, that is. In fact, one was commenting this morning how well my former boss and I worked together - she would let me know when she got here, always said good morning, and if she had to run off anywhere, was sure to let me know. Also, she would pass on things to me to work on. We would sit and chat to catch up on life and work. We had built a great relationship over the years.
I'm trying to build a relationship with this one, but she is "closed", if you can understand what that means. Thus far, it hasn't been fun working with her. Or for her. She ignores me for the most part. She will chat with her buddy behind me (I've discovered this supervisor will also run to her with everything and tattles on people!!) so now I have to watch what I say out loud, and to whom. I had shared something a few weeks ago with another employee nearby about another employee - no, not gossip, just sharing what had transpired on something. The supervisor ran and told the person I was talking about that I was talking about her. Seriously? It wasn't anything I couldn't have said to her face - and did - but the point I am making is that this supervisor is a tattletale and sits right behind me so I have to watch myself now.
Which also takes the fun away. I think I will need to start looking for another job. I have been hoping that my former boss can find a place for me there, but nothing has come up yet. If I find something else first, I won't leave to work with her, but I'm hoping - and praying - that something will come up before Christmas. Or that things change here. Respect goes a long way.
Need to get back to work - lunch time goes by quickly. Yeah, my new boss is making me clock in and out for lunch now. Before I didn't unless I actually left for lunch with someone. Now I have to even if I work through lunch. So - I sit here and eat my lunch and type a letter or make some notes on here, read a little or whatever, and then clock back in. I wish they would just make me salaried and then it wouldn't be an issue. I got chewed out last payroll because I had overtime. Oh well. Get over it. I will always have overtime or I can start going home around 2 or 2:30 everyday. I have to come in early to get reports sent out - although my new boss has told me she doesn't know why I am the one sending out the reports. So - it wouldn't surprise me if she gave that 'job' to someone else.
Fine. If she wants me to come in later and work just 8 hours, I can do that. Grumble. Why can't life be simple. 7 more years, is what I keep telling myself. I don't think I can handle 7 more years here under this boss.
Trusting God to show me favor.
Blessings!

Trust God, Mom..... regardless of anything else. ALWAYS TRUST GOD. if you preach it, do it. lead by example.
You are absolutely right - and I DO Trust God.... that's why I can say I will work another 7 years - I believe that God will take care of us. That is the least of my worries. And today was much, much better. Maybe, just maybe, my new boss will realize she doesn't have to prove anything.... but she does have big shoes to fill. :-)
