random work thoughts..

Stellar kickoff to the week so far, already had our technology malfunction (this time it was the phones instead of the printers) and the client I do work for...who swore they would be sending the work on time after last week’s meeting with them...well they have not sent the work and we are behind yet again. They also don’t respond to the emails that my boss sends them. It is a total clown show from top to bottom and this is why I am on my phone half the day and only give half effort.

This is exactly where I am at right now. The company I work for really sucks. Lack of communication between management (half the time they aren't even here) and staff, lousy pay and benefits, no perks or incentives and an overall soul crushing, depressing environment.

An incredibly frustrating day...our main printer broke again and even though we have 2 others, they don’t work as well and the people who sit near them stare at you and grumble at you. The lack of communication strikes again. Would be really nice if people in this office looked out for each other.

So glad the boss responds to e-mails in a prompt manner *eyeroll*. Guess I will have to figure it out myself. Just one of several things irking me today and once again have almost burst into tears at my desk.

Ugh...just ugh. Boss never responded to my e-mail so I guess I will try again this morning because I have like an hour or two worth of work to do. No excuse as this should have been discussed much sooner, I tried several times to no avail. Very nervous about how this is all going to go down.

Edit: I got a response!! Not sure about how the work will go but at least I know what to do now!

Still not thrilled with my situation right now but at least there is a bit of clarity for now. Staff meeting today and we were told that “some exciting news” is coming next week. No idea what she is referring to but color me skeptical about it being anything earth shattering. Also, it is time again to do surveys that the company insists we all do and they are annoymous so we can say anything but we have to wait until after finding out about the “exciting news”, which is odd and intriguing at the same time.

Weird vibe in the office once again today. I am very not busy today which is making me uncomfortable and even more anxious.

Trying to stretch out the little bit of work I have to do for as long as I possibly can. We have a meeting soon where “big, exciting news” is going to be revealed. My bar is pretty low as I don’t expect it to be anything earth shattering but they sure are hyping it up!

So not busy today, going to be a very long day. Tomorrow is the meeting when “exciting news” will be revealed. No hints whatsoever and I am keeping my ears
open for any clues!

Big meeting is today! We will see if it lives up to expectations!

Yeah...it most certainly did not live up to expectations. But at least it is something I guess. They were sort of sketchy on the details so maybe if they explain it more, it will be more enticing.

Well it turns out that what was introduced at the meeting yesterday is actually pretty big news. Again, this company has poor communication at all levels as things should have been explained better. It is something I will give them that but I am hardly jumping for joy over it because it doesn’t change my situtation at the moment. I am unhappy with things and I am going to have to bite the bullet and say something to my boss.

I want to walk out of here right now, I am not
comfortable with this task that was dumped on me. I have had worse days than today but I feel like I have reached my boiling point. My knowledge and talent is being wasted here plus just a random google search lead me to an available job with better pay and benefits. Plus it is in the specialty I know well and have years of experience in. Question is though if I can overcome my anxiety and apply for this job. Would be a huge step for me.

Going to be a VERY long day. I am close to being ready to speak with my boss. I can’t take much more of this and I am super uncomfortable and not good at the task they have thrown on me. Honestly, it feels like the equivalent of pointless “busy” work one would do in school. Problem is, my boss is not the easiest to approach and talk to and since the big announcement of the bonus program last week, I am supposed to be happy about it and excited to be at work and I am not supposed to question things. Guess I will be spending my day posting on the news site I frequent.

Yesterday was an extremely long day. Today I’m sure will be worse. Ugh...I have to ask questions about this task I know nothing about that I was just thrown on. Don’t like asking questions to begin with and the person I need to ask is not exactly friendly.

Another day of sitting here pretending to be busy. I don’t care at this point and the boss is difficult to speak with, I can’t really say much until our next meeting and who knows when that will be.

Finally had enough and e-mailed my boss as it is near impossible to talk with her face to face. Not thrilled with her response but at least I have some idea now. I just don’t see how this is going to work but I will at least try it for awhile. Maybe my outlook will improve when I move to a new desk in a much better area of the office.

Not busy again and the stuff my boss tells me to do is hardly enough to keep me busy all day but of course she wouldn’t know this because she isn’t here half the time. Guess I will sit here today and pretend I am busy. Yes the weather is cool and crappy again but it is June and there is no reason to turn the heat up. But someone did it again and it is quite uncomfortable in here.

Wonder if the boss will show up today?? Wonder if the work that was never sent over last week will show up today??
A bunch of us are supposed to be moving to new desks as of tomorrow but there has been no word or instruction about this from anyone.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sigh...of course I didn’t get my desk moved due to miscommunication and lack of planning! So now I believe it will not happen which is making me even more disillusioned and miserable than I already am. Getting closer to quitting each day as something like this may not seem like a big deal but where one sits makes a difference (at least to me it does) and it is a series of these “little things” that have been happening that are really starting to add up.
