What Annoyed you today

[doppelgaenger]

Read my thread. Dunno how you could've missed that - it was advertised quite a lot around here.

My relationship ended and I returned to USA early. It's over for good, unfortunately.

Oh...sorry...I didn't know...I don't read all the threads. Best of luck.

i suck at my job.

i suck at my job.

I blame your low morale due to your bosses.

[misombra]

::sigh::

i really wish i could blame them. but i can't. i'm really just not good at this. i'm thankful i have a job, and i like parts of it. but sitting around in front of my computer, complying with ridiculous state regulations, putting numbers in forms, and filling in forms with little boxes with a million prompts is just not my bag. i'm simply not good at it. my bosses know it. they've encouraged me to look for something that is more my speed. but there's really no jobs out there right now. also i am hating the idea of leaving my job without a good reference. so i've really been trying to stay on point, but then i got pregnant and had a baby and threw me off a bit. my bosses do not understand and have not cut me any slack. they're nice to me, but i think if they could, they would fire me. really the only thing keeping them from doing so is that my clients like me. and changing people leads to people leaving their agency. also they don't really have anyone to take over my case load.

at first i liked the idea of working at home, but now i like the idea of being home and getting to play with the baby, or clean, or do other things. right now all i do when i'm at home is work. and it's stressful when i have a deadline and the baby is crying.

a part time job out of the house doing something i'm good at and where i'm appreciated sounds so nice right now. i'm getting paid pretty good here, but those things are lacking.

[Gigabitch]

Sounds like time to go buy a lottery ticket.

[misombra]

yeah. i'll probably be bad at that too.

i'll probably be one of those people who wins 5 bucks and turns into a compulsive gambler.

Think about going back to school, M. You can do a lot of distance ed these days. I won't post a link here, but you can google same as I.

Do a masters in a related area. Education or Business. It will help keep you sane at your job and give you something to look forward to.

Meantime, you should apply for jobs. Work for the government directly. You can do the same work for more pay & benefits and then leverage your new degree for a better position. It will take 2-3 years of sucking it up, which will correlate well with baby.

(I don't want to work today either--must be Friday.)

thanks indi. matter of fact i am going back to school. signed up for two classes. cell bio and chem. i'm gonna try for PA school. got kind of a hook up.

[IndiReloaded]

Its interesting, I was going to suggest counselling for you but I think this is even better. I just don't think of PA being from Canada. Go for it.

If you need help, you know who to ask. DM might be willing to do some tutoring too.

[misombra]

i thought about doing counselling but then i thought of all the people that have problems that go to counselling instead of doing what they should do and leave a situation alone. like couples who stay together even though they get into physical confrontation. i really would not like to sit for an hour a week with those people. it would drive me freakin nuts. i really am not that nice.

Annoyed. Boyfriend still hasn't called me back and his phone is still off. Ugh. And I know he's going to call me as I'm headed into work. I better make some money tonight at least.

[kitkitkitty]

^^ agreed. except for me it's people taking an age to text back.

[Gigabitch]

Me too. Twelve year old not answering her phone right now.

[nerdy_guy]

that's what i am talking about

I don't think Giga's interested though
