Ok, so if you've read any of my previous blogs, you know I hate my current work situation. I love my job, just not who I have to work with and for.
Monday's and Tuesday's the guys I work with sleep or watch movies all day. Wednesday's, Thursday's and Friday's I work with a 60+ year old man who needs to retire, but feels the need to tell me how and when to do my job. Mind you, I've been in my current position for 6 years, so I think I know what I'm doing.
Today was the day I lost it. The one that sleeps and watches the movies most of the time called in sick and the other one has school and has to leave when I do. I am the 'odd ball' in my department that works Monday through Friday 8-4:30. Everyone else works 3 12 1/2 hour days. The one I had to work with today doesn't really know what he's doing but I'm working on correcting that.
I came in and he was just like duh....and I was still upset from yesterday because of the movies. All the work ends up falling on me and HELLO, I'm only one person.
No, our jobs are not difficult. Hello, I'm on here all day LMAO. I have a little more responsibility than most as I manage our 'tape library'. Which consists of about 10,000 data cartridges that all of the company's financial etc. information is stored on.
I was so stressed I was having chest pains. I do have a heart condition, known as a bicuspid valve. Basically, where the normal heart has 4 valves with 4 flaps that open and close to let the blood cycle through, I have one valve that only has 3 valves and I get a backwash of sorts.
So the fact that my blood pressure was through the roof and I was having chest pains was of great concern to myself and my mother who happens to work for the same company. She's in customer service though.
I had no sooner said to her that I was having chest pains and was going to go to my boss' boss and vent to him because if I didn't I was going to end up in the hospital and get bitched at for not being at work then my boss walked out.
He wanted to know if 1 - I could stay till 7 tonight so the one could go to school and 2 - would I work Sunday cuz the one that had to go to school today is in the Army reserves and has drill duty.
My Blazer is leaking brake fluid so I'm not driving it and I'm dependent on my mom for transportation. She said no, she's not working because she doesn't want to put the extra miles on her new car. She just got in February and it had like 500 miles on it, now it has over 8800.
He looked at me and said something smart, I don't recall what, and I lost it.
I told him I'm tired of being the only one to work, blah blah blah.
He basically asked why I didn't say anything sooner and I said I have, nothing has changed since I last came to you. Or at least, not that I could tell. That's when he informed me that it had been addressed and the person in question was told if it happened again he was out the door.
Back and forth for about 10 minutes, about me missing his point and him mine, and I busted out crying. It was too much.
So yeah, it's been a really crappy day and if you actually took the time to read this, I thank you. I needed to vent and I still don't feel any better LOL
My eyes hurt, my chest hurts and I'm tired. Time for a shower and bed. Thank you all for being there when I needed you. You mean the world to me. Hugs and kisses!
