I WAS working for a vet's office for 3 years which was OK, my coworkers were mostly pretty cool, the clients were sometimes AWFUL (but the patients were what made it OK, I LOVE animals!) So my life just fell apart about 2 months ago when I sort of both quit and got fired from this job. Long story, don't want to bore you... in brief the office manager was not very bright and over 3 years I ended up DREADING being called into the office because I never knew if it was just to sign a birthday card or be written up for some random thing (and i tried VERY HARD to be a good employee! I really did). So I finally go to the end of my rope and BOOM goes my life! Oddly, i still have a good relationship with the rest of the company, including BOTH the owner's! But the office manager CRIED and said I was mean... and thus her descision stood.
It's been about 2 months, and I am surviving. just wanted to let you know no matter how black things look, they always get better! I am GLAD this happened now, I am working part time at a Doggy Daycare, and I am working my own business in all my other time!
I'm sick of the corporate merry go round, and I am getting OFF. My business is a work at home, which I chose specifically because it is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme! I quit smoking 4 weeks ago (quit my Dunkin donut's habit too, figured I'd have a headache anyways from cigarette withdrawal!), and with the $60 a week I am saving from stopping these bad habits and my part time job I am floating along and growing my business! If you're sick of the CYCLE (because I have been thru this crap over and over and over again in the corporate world!) you might want to consider reputable work at home opportunities!
I'm not trying to be a jerk and spam or anything, but everyone has to be as sick of this crap as me! I don't want to post links or anything, but if anyone wants info on how I am managing this, send me a message. i just started at this so I don't have my own blog or anything yet.

nothing much changed since September (last comment) and I'm still enjoying toothpaste for dinner. I should be pleased - just been made permanent rather than being a temp, but the job still sucks - still, at least I'm being paid properly now...

I love my job, I love the pay!
I love it more and more each day.
I love my boss, she is the best!
I love her boss and all the rest.
I love my office and its location,
I hate to have to go on vacation.
I love my furniture, drab and gray,
And piles of paper that grow each day!
I think my job is really swell,
There's nothing else I love so well.
I love to work among my peers,
I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers.
I love my computer and its software;
I hug it often though it won't care.
I love each program and every file.
I'd love them more if they worked a while.
I'm happy to be here. I am. I am.
I'm the happiest slave of the Firm, I am.
I love this work, I love these chores.
I love the meetings with deadly bores.
I love my job - I'll say it again -
I even love those friendly big dick men.
Those friendly men who've come today,
In white coats to take me away!

My work gripe at the moment has to do with the fact that I work the overnight shift, and am currently suffering from a bout of insomnia. Needless to say, I have called in for tonight.

Yes, my job stinks, especially today after being off yesterday for a bank holiday (is that also a US concept of just the UK?) - Whatever - it was a public holiday so a nice long weekend.
I work in admin which is pretty boring at the best of times but today has just dragged and I'm now on my lunchhour, thank god.
I work as a temp, having quit my permanent job in March last year. Then, I was an office manager, in charge of quite a few people but had started to feel taken for granted by the management - it was a small firm and they were looking to make their lives easier and to head out into the sun - consequently, they had lost interest in the staff and the last straw came when, despite a good year profit-wise, we didn't get our usual Xmas bonus. Nothing was said, none of the usual thanks for a good year and we could all see the writing on the wall - the way they were out to make as much as posible for least possible input on their behalf.
I struggled with my feelings of resentment for a good 3 months before finally deciding that enough was enough, and handing in my notice. It didn't help that I was going through quite a bit of stress regarding my mother's health at that time and I just didn't want the added worry. It was a huge step to finally leave and at that point I didn't have another job to go to so I signed with an employment agency, but felt like a huge burden off my shoulders - a sort of freedom to choose.
I was out of work for one week only - that time was spent searching sits vacant and so on, but I got a temp job with the fire service, dealing with calls about their properties and stations and stayed there for 2 months. Then, I worked for Bentley's (the luxury car company) as a process advisor / admin / technical coordinator for 4 months. Finally (to date), I'm here, working for a company that provides oxygen for patients in their own homes or on holiday or respite. It's just data inputting 90% of the time but no stress! Just very boring!

I still hate it - and am now in a different dept, having heard last Thursday that there may be some staff changes - was merrily typing away when this e-mail popped up on Friday afternoon...
All,
Apologies for the short notice but A_ will be leaving the Records team as of next Monday 4/6/07 and will be joining the H_F team. I'd personally like to pass on my thanks to A_ for all her hard work and despite her only moving a few desks away I know that she'll be missed.
As of Monday a new member of staff - T_ R_ - will be joining Records to back-fill for A_. (*name hidden here by me)
As usual please make T_ feel welcome.
Again apologies for the short notice.
Thanks
Dave.
So, no final 'this is what's happening' etc from my boss, I don't even have a definite desk in the new dept, and noone seems to have a clue what's happening or what I'm supposed to be doing. Plus, they all think I knew and was keeping them in the dark so a bit of resentment I feel now.
Oh well, same old, same old...
