I’m incredibly cranky.
I got spoken to at work…like I was an intern.
“Do you want me to go to the hearing?”
“Yeah, we’re getting new guy, j and i in on the list…so you can go and wait in line just in case we don’t get on the list.”
Are you fucking kidding me?!
I had a vision of just being the admin bitch for the next year and a half. I sat at my desk for the rest of the afternoon contemplating a jump…how do i do it though with a boss that’s super connected. But after the talk I had with my sort of kind of former boss at happy hour (she had a title change which took the personnel aspect out of her job) she gave me a few suggestions and offered to be my reference. She was after all…the one who hired me.
I don’t like to talk about work but I’m cranky and I just see this? This new guy…as a downward spiral and not getting the policy experience that keeps being promised to me. I just see myself as being the one who gets called to my boss’s office to change the font type on her email…to be the one to enter every single god damned person she meets into her contacts…to be the jerk off who waits on the line because yeah sure you can go to the hearing but you’re on your own to get in.
Eff. That.
I mean…I should really have applied to that job on the hill in my Senator’s office. I should really not write off hill jobs but god damn. I have GOT to get out of this job.
Grad school? Anyone?
AND THEN!! TO top that crap off?
Some girl who’s been working at the gym for like… A WEEK acted like she was SUPERIOR to me! Back of bia…i been here a helluva lot longer than you. Then she was like “oh it;s been such a long day…i got up at 5:30 to get my kids ready for school…and then i ran some errands before coming here…and then I went home…and then i came here…” and worked from 3 till 9 or some shit like that.
No offense to all my mommy blogger pals. I’m sure getting the kids off to school is a struggle. But I work 9-6. I’m out the door by 8:25 to get the metro…so i can be in the door at 9am. Then? I work till 6. Not 5. Not 5:30. 6pm. Even though the new guy left at 5:30 (jerk off). and get home by 6:40 to leave the house by 6:53 to be at the gym by 7pm. Then? I get to be there till 11:15-11:20.
Eff you bia. I don’t want to hear about your woes.
Now…I’m going to watch Gossip Girl and feel better about my life. Or something like that. Don’t forget to enter my pay-it-forward contest!

I’m so sorry about your job
I know how it feels to be the bitch of the office (and without payment!) Just remember, no job is forever. If you want to make a move, I’m sure you’ll find a way to do it. Until then, you could always silently sabotage the new guy…
yikes! sorry for your rough day!! Good news is there’s always tomorrow! Keep your chin up
Ooh rough day! I finally quit my job after being treated like crap and being the only one who knew what was going on and pretty much being the only one with a college degree (oh, and as I was about to graduate grad school and they told me my education didn’t count for anything, that was nice). Now they miss me like hell and I just laugh.
Hope Gossip Girl cheered you up!
I can relate to things like this…I’m young and definitely the youngest at the office, so I get talked to like that sometimes, and it sucks. I just have to prove my worth to them and to the company, and they will stop talking to me like that. We’ll see how it goes.
Did I just read it correctly that you’re at the gym for four hours? Please tell me that my eyes are playing tricks on me
Sounds like a rough day(s)
Hope it improves, and/or you do make your move … And I’m with Lspoon – why 4 hours at the gym?
I definitly know how that is…..hence the reason I might be looking for something soon too…
I hate shitty work situations and I hope you find a great new opportunity soon.
How awesome was GG last night?
it is definitely frustrating to feel like your job is going nowhere. I’m glad you have someone who can give you advice and leads and references. I hope things improve soon.
Holy crap! I know EXACTLY how you feel. My boss I really feel does not work well with women. I am a sales rep…SALES and he tells me to put together spreadsheets for him of all his contacts and then slaps my wrist and says I have to improve my admin skills. I nearly quit on the spot!
I have a friend who is a lawyer in a pretty nice firm. Everyday at lunch her boss asks her to run to his car and grab his lunch, which he conveniently forgot. Why is it that sometime women are forced into these roles?
Dude.
I though you were just like a week ago lurving your job?? And getting a raise??
WTF.
You should get a new job.
I was wondering what you were all ATwitter about that day!
My biggest pet peeve is when people act like they have it so much harder than you in the midst of them trying to f you over.
No way, back up, get in line. Life is not a pityparty!
Eek! That is indeed some cranky-pants talk! But I don’t blame you AT ALL. That’s a looooong day…
Wow, I have been having oddly similar problems at my jobs. I’m on the job hunt as well. If you actually are looking for a new job, best of luck! I always encourage people to get out of a bad situation because life is too short to work at a shitty job.
