Bad Dreams and Other Things

sildilI had a vile dream last night, really, really horrid. I know where it came from, it was obvious. The overriding feeling was of being trapped and completely helpless and resigned to my fate, and of the injustice of it all.
Then I got into work....it has not been an easy few days by any stretch of the imagination and all I wanted was to do my job and come home again. Instead, as soon as I got in I was asked by boss if I had five minutes to discuss which aspects of my job I wanted to hand over to someone else working in the afternoons from September.
This is because of some idiotic idea of my boss's that it will make things run more smoothly. That in getting in someone who is actually a real typist, somehow my ridiculous workload will fit into the original 2 hours a day again. Yet the things he identified as easy for someone else to do involved very little or no typing! And I still get stuck with the shit. Not only that but I do not get the extra hours he agreed were necessary, and therefore not the extra money we need when eldest goes to college.
I was put on the spot and grilled and I felt even more resentful and cross afterwards. It was NOT the time to tell him that I am looking for another job, I could not have spoken coherently about it. For a bloody Vicar, he is appallingly poor at understanding his staff and helpers and their stresses and strains, and drags everyone along with him, not listening to a word we say. Makes me want to be a pagan and that is a sad reflection on his shepherding.

And there's nowt wrong with being a pagan.. thoroughly satisfying...
And just remember, it's days like this that make you thankful you're looking for another job!

I hope you find something that you enjoy soon as it is no fun to be stuck in a job you don't like and feel trapped in.
*hugs*
Good luck with the job hunt.
