New Hire....

So they have officially hired a new receptionist/ invoicing helper...

she is older then what I expected...and she doesn't take notes so to me that means she may not be as receptive.

Oddly they didnt ask me to train her, they asked the girl that is going to a different position to train her.
Now my issues have been with the way the current girl does her work and how she has not learned everything and half asses things so why n earth would you have her train the new girl.

God only knows.... so please stay tuned for my desperate ranting of this situation.

Although I have learned from previous times that I am not to become friends with these new people or I will not be taken seriously...so yes I have learned and grown from my past mistakes.

WORK: Love and Hate

What happens when your work really starts becoming repetitive and boring.


YOU LOOSE INTEREST!!!!!

I used to really enjoy my job but since that whole thing that happened a few months back please read below very first blog. I truly don’t have the energy to make changes or make a differenece in a place where I feel I am not valued for who I am.

So I need to go back to school and finish my Bachelors Degree.

I have a bit of ADD so my brain without excitement begins to lose its glow. To put it in a visual perspective.

On the note of school: my son (#1 Star War’s fan) asked me when was I going to finish school… I do talk about going back to school all the time. And even though my kids are young I always instill in them how a better future one has when they finish college. Well I didn’t know how to answer him….Cause honestly I myself have no idea. I really want to but feel intimidated to go back and with four kids how am I going to manage. Although I do currently have my assoiciates, I would technically only need 2 more years as a full time student. But then I was studing to be a teacher and since being in the working world , I would like to go into international business. I know big change, but then I still get to use my Spanish. I honestly think if I had not had kids I still would want to be a teacher, but my kids are so close in age that they really have not given my any breathing time.

So to ponder and figure this one out!!!!

Getting better

Work is work and can not make it pesonal, So taking my mothers advise and keeping to myself...

So no talking about personal life to Co-workers...Cause that is all they are is Co-workers. Not saying all of them are back stabbers and only looking out for themselves but its best to keep your distance.

I must say though that I have had a few great friends from past J.O.B.S, my friend Beth- great times with her. and My great long distance friend Patrina, which i have truely never met in person, she worked at the CA office and I worked at the IL office. And of course my old boss Rosie from when I worked as a student worker at the Waubonsee. To this day she is still one of my greatest inspirations.

Its not like I have time for friends 4 kids, husband and living quarters, but they few I do I have I cherish and appreciate becasue even if I haven't talked to them in a while, I can always call them and its like time never passed.

Disappointment

I have decided to actually do the whole blogging thing how many people will read this i truely Don't know. but here we go....

My Day today has been a total disaster...Yesterday I left early from work to go to a teacher conference. Well in my absence the front office had a meeting and announced that my old boss would not be my boss anymore but a different lady would... no problem there...right.

Here is the big one... that someone else (not me) would be the assistant manager to the front office...WHAT!!!!

Since day one back in 04' I have striving to get that postion of office manager. Lately I have felt so out place here it is unbeleiveable. I used to enjoy my job but after this and another incident a few weeks ago... I am so disappointed.

So the question is now Do I continue to work as hard as I used to... or just not care anymore and slack like the rest of the people.

I am pondering that question? and asking my self why i was not choosen... I know I dont always get to work on time and of course I have children which I have to leave at times in times of crisis.

So leads me to another question you strive to have a career and be the best yet you put yourself on a balance because you choose to have children? So should I be a stay at home mom and skip the career since that isn;t quite going where I want it to?

So what know what is my goal at this company now? What do I strive for now? I cant reach that mountain top anymore.
