UGH!
So my friend Maura wants to know wher I've been. Well, I'm still around. Just very busy, stressed, depressed and tired. In my quest to be a better person I've been trying not to burden my friends with all my whining and complaining. But, I have to vent.
This woman at work is driving me insane! My job description as was described when I was hired on was to assist the various memebers of my team. Well so far that has meant that I do one team members work. I have discussed this with my boss, but not much has changed. I wasn't really happy about the job in the first place and really took the job for all the wrong reasons. Well, monetary reasons. But if I was doing what I was told I was going to do, I don't think I'd be quite as irritated. But since I was technically hired on, I've been doing the exact same thing everyday. Well, that's not entirely true. But the majority of what I've done has fallen under this one woman's domain of things.
Well, this week, one of our team mates was out at a meeting (for work) and she asked me to help enter applications so that the test could be sent out at the end of this week. Fine. I have no problem with this. Well, my boss also wants to see my stack of work diminish. It's not.
So, in order for these applications to be approved, I had to give them to the woman whom I have been "helping". Lets call her Jane. So Jane looks them over, and hands them back to me so that I can call a couple of them about their experience. Which is kind of stupid, because if I knew anything about experience needed then I could be checking and approving the apps myself. But I go ahead and do it. Then I put them on her desk for her to approve them once again, and left her a note asking if she could enter them for me. (she was at lunch and I wouldn't see her before I left for lunch) So, I ended up having to enter the applications. Fine whatever.
But on a couple of them I had to wait for them to fax over more information, which they didn't do until the end of the day. So round about 8:05 this morning Jane is in my room checking to see if they are done yet. As I just walked in the door at 8:00, it's not bloody likely. So I did them, then she took them to someone else to make sure the credit cards got run before noon. So when I got back from running an errand with another coworker, the apps were sitting on my chair waiting for me to finish them. Which I made sure to do first thing.
So later in my wonderful day, I find yet another app for that particular exam. And I"m like "bummer, she's probably already started that one, and I'm going to mess everything up". Well, turns out, no, she hadn't even done anything with it. And this was at 3:00pm! She didn't even do anything with it all day! Yet she was checking up on whether or not I had done my part at 8 am this morning.
She is just really irritating me. She asked one of my co-workers what time I left for lunch the other day. Um, I left at my normal scheduled time, and was back in an hour...well, honestly a few minutes early. And Jane often is late back from lunch, sometimes up to 1/2 an hour!
It's just so frustrating. I don't much care for the job anyway, but having to deal with someone who checks up on every little thing I do, just makes it more annoying. She is real quick to tell me about every mistake I make, but is never willing to help me when I ask. So then I just get more stressed from all the work I have to do, and then end up making more mistakes.
I'm so ready to leave that job. And I have been applying to jobs every week. I just don't forsee it happening anytime soon.
I guess that's enough venting for now.
