In this thread we ask for comfort because we are having a horrible day/week/career

[XOMichelle]

I posted what I thought was an interesting piece of news to the news and politics forum and got my intelligence insulted by Rudey because he's conservative, and I am not. Grrr....

But, on the upswing, my boss loved my ideas for improving my work and the project we work on. Super! And I have 11 secondaries.

For personal reasons and experiences I cant really mention here, I'm having a really bad day and a bad week.

Well one I can mention. My ex bf dumped me over a year ago. Lately he's been trying to get back into my panties and then gets mad at me when i tell him NO! He wont leave me alone I guess some guys just need to be hit upside the head with a two by four.

Some boys do need to be hit by metaphorical two by fours. Keep saying no! (as discussed in the dating and relationships thread, I have pledged to do the same with my ex).

Thanks kappaloo! I was very happy to hear she liked my ideas. Now all I have to do is implement them....

To those of you who hate their jobs...I hear you. I hate mine, too. If I get through a day without a moment where I want to walk out, I consider it a fantastic day. My boss is incredibly annoying and pushy, certain coworkers very cliquish, and the company's owners are pricks. What else is new? I'm looking for a new place to work.

Also, every girl I know is having man trouble. What is wrong with all you men lately? Is it a full moon? What? We'd all really like to know.

I'm having a moment right now.
*breath, breath, breath*

Does all upper-management have a trait where they're physically incapable of admitting they're wrong or they can't say sorry? If I screw up, I admit it. I did a few months ago on a project although my boss was 50% to blame but he still made it seem like it was all me and not at all him. Whatever. Now he gets in a disagreement with a bunch of my co-workers and won't get off his high-horse to admit for a second that he could be...gasp...wrong.

Bumping this b/c I pretty much hate everything in my life right now.

I can't stand my classes, and I can't make myself study. My personality has changed in that I don't even make an effort to talk to anyone anymore, and barely even to my friends. I'm terrified of the bar exam, I have no idea if or how i'm going to get a job, and oh yeah, mr. kdddani doesn't want to have a relationship b/c his life is consumed with his job and building his house. That one was the straw that broke the camel's back.... I've never been like this before.

Well to those of you who have seen my past rants about my car I couldn't take it anymore and gave in and bought a new 2003 used car. (I really need one for work & the amount I've been shelling out each month for repairs is over a car payment). Now I am having a major guilt complex because I've never bought something almost brand new like this. I just got a promotion but the $$$$ in my field overall sucks, along with the economy. This is nothing new to me and I know things are gonna get better $$$-wise eventually but not for another 6 months-year. I was ahead for awhile but now because of my new purchase it's back to living paycheck to paycheck. The thing that sucks too is I would be willing to work P/T somewhere but I highly doubt many places will hire someone with a Master's degree if you know what I am saying.................

the state is supposed to limit classroom sizes to 35 at the high school level. i have 45 in my speech class, health has 50. that's a bit ridiculous.
you can't teach speech to 45 in a small room. there's no room to perform.

Remeber that book.. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"????

"Ann Marie and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is the story of my life today.

I looked for comfort in Mr. PlymouthDZ.. (I complained about life and about school), he responds "You only have 10 more weeks of school left, ever.. you can tough it out."

Not Impressed With Anything Today.

ACK!!!! No! No! Don't do it!!

Both of my parents started their own businesses, so I grew up in that atmosphere. Having your own business (no matter what it is) means working 24/7, 365 days a year. It means filing more forms for the IRS than you ever imagined, more often than you can ever imagine! It means March and April are completely miserable months for you, as you and your accountants/tax attorneys wrestle over what's deductable and what's not.

It means living off of your savings for the first three to five years you're in business.

It means friends will always expect a break in price, and sometimes spending holidays with complete strangers because no one else will (but that's a little more specific to their businesses). It means that every unsatisfied customer is a potential litigant, even though you've done everything imaginable to satisfy this client. It means being on first name basis with magistrates, as you have to file a lien on someone's house when they don't pay their bills. It means guilt tripping your kids if they don't jump to pick up the torch and continue the business. It means referreeing between employees over "who is better" when they're both very good - in their own way. It means the end of your "real" popularity, and the beginning of people kissing your rear to try to get ahead - but stabbing you in the back.

That's just a starter - I could go on and on!

Deep down, I like my job and enjoy my work, but this new principal has got to go. She's one of those people who thinks no one has a good idea but her. Her "My way or the highway" attitude is making many people unhappy. I'm thinking the highway out of our building is gonna be real crowded come spring.
