To my credit...it lives and breathes now. I flung it far enough to qualify for Olympic discus ...but it lives to torment again.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-08-2012, 05:32 PM

Ah Ducky, so hot even the spiders are trying to get in her pants.

Aliantha · 07-08-2012, 06:19 PM

haha...a spider in the pants. Enough to spoil just about anyone's day! lol

Sorry...my lack of sympathy is astounding, but I am imagining the scene of the crime. lol It would have been funny.

I was gonna watch "The Daily Show" earlier, but when I browsed my personal channel list, Comedy Central wasn't there. I just checked Google News, and saw this.

DucksNuts · 07-11-2012, 01:09 AM

Its ok, I wasnt really looking for sympathy.

In my typical fashion, I am very calm at the time of the incident, but I certainly shuddered and checked my pants every 5 minutes for a good few hours afterwards.

Today whats upsetting me is Jackson is feeling a bit under the weather, poor puppy.

I think the sandflies are giving him hell because he's scratched himself raw above his tail, he doesnt have fleas because he gets treated. I have wiped him over with some tea tree oil to deter the little bastards and put some Itch-Eeze on his sore bits...its Antiseptic and Anaesthetic. A bit of couch time with the wriggling 52kgs and hes a bit happier.

I was going to take him for a walk, but he will go in the salt water (which will be good for his sore), which will wash all the stuff off that I just put on him.

PLEASE DEAR GAWD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO NOT WALK OUT OF HERE TODAY. PLEASE!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Griff · 07-13-2012, 12:06 PM

You can do this. Let's get that resume shined up though. Leave on your schedule not theirs.

infinite monkey · 07-13-2012, 12:23 PM

Thanks, Griff. That's what I keep telling myself.

And my cow orkers are wonderful. We're all feeling the same way, but that doesn't alleviate any of the crap, and my health is really suffering. I wish I could take these kinds of things in stride, and know that in the long run it's of little importance.

I think a lot of it is worrying I'd disappoint my family or make my mom and dad worry about what will become of me.

I know I keep going over and over this and I appreciate that I can vent here, but I just don't know how much longer I can hang on. Do I think the consultants are going to make a difference? I don't really know. I have a proposal on the direction I think this job should go, and what should be on my plate and what should not. I can't do any of it well because there's just too much. And I can't live with that nagging feeling that I'm doing a half-assed job at what I was hired to do. But they misrepresented this position, and I've never had a moment of job ownership or time to update, upgrade, fix processes, hone processes: the things I was hired to do, there is no time for.

So you're right, I need to get my resume updated and start looking. I'll most certainly have to take a pay cut, but I can't keep on going like this.

ZenGum · 07-13-2012, 10:09 PM

Infi, can you get a written commitment about when the consultant's report will be done, and implemented by?

If you have a job you like doing, are good at, and feel you are making the world a little better by doing, that is a valuable asset. I do regret quite a bit about losing/leaving my former job - but I don't miss the bullshit from the narcissistic middle-manager.

infinite monkey · 07-14-2012, 08:51 AM

Consultant hasn't even come yet. Two schools of thought: either it's just a pretty bow to tie on the manager and act like they give a crap, or this consultant will actually listen to each of us.

I have ideas, some really good ideas, on how to do things better. It'd be nice to be heard, it'd be nice if things could change and I could stay here.
