It's really amusing when they let the monkeys out to play. ;)

I've stayed home from work today, as the second head I was growing under my arm a few months back has decided to make its return. Only this time, I can't get my stupid bra on because of it. Doctor's appointment has been made for 1:30pm and I'm worried they're going to stick me with sharp things. I'm really not looking forward to this. :/

I'm also not looking forward to going into work tomorrow. I know my boss wants to have the "Tara, you're a bad employee" talk have a meeting with me and I know what it concerns. One of the other employees already had hers and she filled me in.

Apparently, we talk too much. Which I really don't see as I barely open my mouth at all these days. And it's apparently effecting my boss's work (we sit in a little tiny hallway of sorts) and it's causing me to not finish my work (which I am caught up on just about everything, so I don't see how this is possible).

I don't know. I like my boss, she's great. But, she can be incredibly moody. And I think we've caught her in another one of her bad moods. And they always suck.

I worry on a nigh constant basis about losing my job, financial circumstances in my household being what they are. I know I can easily call the recruiter who got me this job in the first place, he could line up a bunch of interviews. But, I don't want to have to go through that. Not to mention the time inbetween the being employed-not being employed-being employed again.

And I've been GOOD at work, goddamnit. I don't mess around on the internet anymore, unless I'm on my break (and that's allowed). I don't email with people very much, except for my mother when her office phone wasn't working and she needed me to make a bank transfer. And I get my fucking work done.

Yes I've used up most, if not all, of my sick days already. But, I can't help that. Especially when the building has such poor ventilation that I catch every single little bug that people INSIST on coming into work with. Thanks, fuckers.

I hate feeling nervous like this.
I think I'm going to go curl up with the weird pillow that Blue Moon Baby gave to me on Saturday until my appointment.

I just got that EXACT talk. It pissed me off. I do a lot of work and get little to no appreciation for it. Everyone tells me "Don't worry about it, it's just

I just got that EXACT talk. It pissed me off. I do a lot of work and get little to no appreciation for it. Everyone tells me "Don't worry about it, it's just <insert boss' name>, that's the way he is", but it doesn't make it FEEL any better. Besides, other people in the office with different supervisors get glowing evaluations and gifts on "Administrative Professional's Day" and compliments and praise...

Ugh. I've used up my sick time, too, which ALWAYS comes up. If I just called off work all the time for no reason, I could understand that. However, I'm diabetic and have an immune deficiency. I catch *everything* and it seems like there is always someone at work who is sick. I can't help it! Nor do I like being sick...anyway...so yeah, I totally understand.

FIGHT THE POWER! Ok. Not really. That's where we get our paychecks... :P

But, like, I'm with you in solidarity. :)

I wish someone would make a rule about talking too much, then I wouldn't have to sit and wish ill upon the girl I share my office with all day. No, in my office, I get crap for not being social enough. Which just goes to show: NO ONE CAN WIN!!

Also, the modern office and commute is a breeding ground for illness. People are so afraid to take a sick day when they're genuinely sick, the recirculated air spreads it around to everyone, and soon, every person in a five-mile radius of the person who originally had a cold has typhoid fever, and since NO ONE stays home, it never goes away. Which is probably why I have another cold today, for the second time in a month.

Bastards.

I suspect most of us get sick because we work entirely unfulfilling, soul-sucking, crap-o-rama jobs. But maybe that's just me being a bitter old biddy. Which is entriely possible.

I had to respond first of all because I love your AIM name and second because you seem like such a spiffy person (pardon the vocab I have been writing papers and all my good words are gone!) Anyways, sorry about the job stress -I know how you feel seeing as how I just got fired -it sucks and that time when you are looking for a new job and you get one is awful -just try to point out the good things and I am sure you will be fine -sometimes we have to coat the nastiest pills with sugar so we can swallow them -your sugar is your job and your money -so coat it!! Good luck! I am adding you if that is alright and I hope to hear from you soon! (god stop me too many exclamation points -I hate term paper day.)
