marie got the finance job. amelita got the mailroom job. my only hope is that jan did not get the attendant job, but that’s not looking too likely at all. if she did, then i’m completely fucked and i might actually consider not going away to avoid the next two weeks being hell.
there are 13 working days until i go away. that’s 13 days i’ll have to be with anna in order to even attempt getting through her thick skull how to do my job. these defections from my department have left me with not a single person trained to relieve me. i know this shouldn’t be my problem and i shouldn’t start to cry when it comes to mind, but it is and it does.
i really am happy for the three of them that they got the jobs they wanted. i am. i was in limbo for six months until i got status in my job. it’s not a happy feeling. but, my pleasure for them is tempered with dread for me and i hate that i can’t be one-hundred percent glad for them.
to top it all off, the new position in my department that i’ve been waiting for a year to be created has been posted. the job i’ve been aching to get. the job i’ve wanted from the moment my father told me about, because he knew it would make me happy. well, they modified it from a PC technician to network support with a cne or msce requirement. i’m now no longer qualified for it. i’m going to be doing data entry for the rest of my life.
try for the job anyway. you never know..
true! and even if you don’t get it, you will not be doing data entry for the rest of your life – that’s for damn sure. you rock, heather, and they’d be lucky to have you. i’m sorry you’re stressing about your job, and anna, and your other co-workers getting transferred. that’s stinky.
The whole situation makes my ass wanna dip of snuff. (Old phrase my grandma used to say). About the job, I agree with chaos and paige…go for it anyway…just because they might have a certain requirement doesn’t mean they have to stick by it. The job I had in Dallas right out of graduate school…they required 5 years of experience and preferred you be board certified…they hired me directly out of school.
update:
scary anna doesn’t feel “comfortable” covering for me. my boss is relieved, as he didn’t want her to explode, as he put it. these are good things. i’ll still have to train someone who is completely unfamiliar with the system, but almost anyone is more capable of learning than scary anna. this takes a lot of pressure off.
but i’m still sad about the job.
I’m sorry to hear about your job sorrows!! Definitely apply for the job anyway. What have you got to lose? We still love you Heater!!!
