Crap day, work sucks...

I actually threw a very childish tantrum (frustration does that to you) and *gasp* slammed a drawer, I then spent the next three quarters of an hour in tears sitting in a little office talking to the locum insurance agent and telling her why.

I really, really, really need to get out of that place. I am sorry, but no cosmetic changes will make it a decent job.

No contract.
No job reviews.
No job description.
No rises, not even inflationary.
A MORE than 100% staff turnover in the last 10 months and no one there in the general staff who has been there longer than a year.
No kitchen, we have to wash up cups in the toilets along the corridor.
A water cooler, but no paper cups as he is too mean to buy them.
ENDLESS bloody audio tapes to type, which didn't used to be my sole responsibility, but the boss is too mean to pay for the part-timer who used to come in and do the letters most of the time on an ad-hoc basis, so he gives them all to me.
One lunch break, strictly one hour long but NO other proper breaks in the day...today I had one cup of tea in the morning but didn't even have time to go and get a glass of water.

I KNOW in the grand scheme of things it could be worse, I could be homeless and up to my neck in toxic flood water, but it is still crappy, crappy, crappy and I hate it.

Oh...I've been there and it occupies a huge space in your mind and heart and eats at you. Working when not being treated properly is disheartening and you deserve better. I hope you find it soon, Sil.

I'm hope from work today because they pissed me off so bad so I can definitely relate.

When you go home tonight make yourself a nice big hot fudge sundae, it will make you feel better :)

*hugs*
Steph

You know, I work in hell. I'vebeen trying for the last two years to convince myself that I could make it work. The first year was pute denial. I ended up crying my eyes out in front of a therapist. This last year has still had an element of denial, but I finally realized that there was nothing I could possibly do to ever make it decent. So if you can, get out of there: we don't have enough time in our lives to waste fighting windmills. I'm doing my best to get out of here. Meanwhile, imagine them all in polka dot undies. ;)

*hugs*

Hang in there.

*Hugs you lots* Hang in there, love, and keep trying for something else. *Sends wolf pack and one rather snotty Mirkwood elfie who just got told he looks like a girl over to "handle" mean boss*

This sounds like exactly the same pit of hell that's swallowed me and my life up. Believe me I empathise. There are too many days at work when I just don't get time to pee.
