Work

My work has become such a nasty, secretive, awful place and it wasn't always like that. It was an inspiring, happy motivated group but that's all gone. I have 4 girlfriends, in different departments that I'm clinging to, although one (luckily for her) is on maternity leave.

All 4 of us left can do little for each other, but just be there. An extra smile, a roll of the eyes, a giggle at the absurdity of it all. Two are applying for other jobs and we are cheering them on. It will be sad if they leave for those that are left, but freedom from this place is a goal of us all. For now it pays the bills but 'company loyalty' be damned, if we go, we'll take down the Bitch who now managers us. Live by the sword, die by it.

But for now I have 2 days away from it all

Eye On The Prize

“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Dalai Lama

I went for a job 2 weeks ago with two others. My Manager later told me I shouldnt of as it was chosen before the interview began. I wanted that job, it was supposed to be a promotion, more money, less grueling hours.

Its turned out a shock for the two that were given the job this week. Sixteen more hours a month, no weekends, no nights (thats big dollars) some shifts ending at midnight and starting again at 8 in the morning and it works out I will earn more a week than them, potter along and answer to no-one. Both are a bit shell shocked by all this. They are also 'company men' and will say nothing where as I would of raise hell.

I was angry about the way I was duped regarding the interview, Im so glad now I didnt get the job & feel sorry for my two friends that did. Life works out funny sometimes.

Secrets
