It's not easy being GREEN!
I am being choked to death by my job. I mean literally cut off at the neck, suffocating, burning chest and everything - strangled to death by my job.
Nevermind the fact that I make PEANUTS at my thankless job...I feel like a horse that is at its end...just before I am put out to pasture. Everyday I go to work and try to be "proactive" - I think every job has it's catch phrase of the year and at my job it is "proactive", in reality it is more like "reactive". The women squabble and fight and fuss over everything. It is madness to walk in there on a Monday morning and deal with the BS that is created within the few hours that I am there everyday.
I feel like they live to complain about the sufferage that they imagine that they are enduring. There are some that seek out more responsibility, more control, more power and once it is bestowed upon them (in the midst of their ranting about how unfair it is that they be expected to complete and submit all this work. It is disgusting in the worst way to see these women fight over the morsel that have been tossed to them by the federal government. To see them recite the mission statement, and on more than one occasion misquote it, in weak attempts to rally the troops.
I have decided that I am going to be an observer from now on, I will have no opinions (except for those that I share with you) and I will focus on my own productivity whislt this bicker on and on.
But, I digress, other than the fighting, yelling, backstabbing and bitch slapping, I can think of a hundred different ways they kill me softly at that place.
Supervisors, Managers, and underlings alike go at it everyday, okay not everyday but damn near that much. Sometimes I have a hard time believing that I could have agreed to employment here. Desperate times, desparate measures.
So here I am working and working and working, appearing proactive, once a full moon, cooperative, ever so often approachable and trying to be patient with all the nonsense that I see reveal itself here everyday. A few weeks ago someone said that they began losing hair after they were hired here...my God...if I (speaking as a woman) were to lose my hair from the stress created by this job I would quit immediately!!! I mean, a handwritten resignation letter dated two weeks ago and submitted today for tomorrow.
I guess every stays fro there own reasons, but right now I can't find even one.
