Posted by Wauchula Woman on 8/8/2006, 5:56 pm, in reply to "Lisa..... You will......." It's not just the mother problem, it's everything. I have a tough job, it requires a lot of hours and today the owner called me in and told me he was offloading half this other guy's work onto me because he wants to move that guy into another department. No more money. I'm salaried so I don't get paid any overtime but I work a lot of overtime for free already. And it wouldn't be so bad if that guy's job was anything I was remotely interested in doing, but he's got a tough job, dealing with customers and requesting draws and I've always been glad I didn't have his job and now.....argggggh....I've got it. And I haven't had a vacation day or any time off except the 5 paid holidays since last September. I have got to get out of there and find me another job, but if I leave before September 23rd, I'll be giving up two weeks paid vacation. I don't want to work there anymore. And I never can get a good night's sleep around here. Every night, it's something, some drama that wakes me up....from the hounds getting after some critter, to trespassers out in the orange groves, to the indoor dog getting sick and puking or throwing up or just wanting to go outside to potty in the middle of the night. My husband sleeps like a baby, because he's nearly deaf. But me, I never get more than two to four hours sleep at night. Don't mind me, I'm just a raving lunatic at this point. Today was just a very bad day. That news at work, the way the man so matter of factly told me that I was taking on that workload and me telling him I didn't have enough time to do what I was already doing and him waving his hand and dismissing my protests........oh it just made me want to pop my gourd. And I know what my husband's answer will be if I tell him I want to quit my job....it'll be "Well just so long as you have another job before you quit." Well, if I give two weeks notice, I'll have to start the next week. Nobody's going to hire a person and tell them it's ok to wait a month to come to work. When people are hiring, they want somebody who can start right away. Nowadays people don't even like to wait for you to give two weeks notice, they act like it's a major problem. I tell you, sometimes, I feel like getting in my car and just driving away, living under a bridge or something....then all I'd have to worry about would be getting out of the weather and scrounging for food. Well, maybe tomorrow will look better. I'm just exhausted tonight. Lisa

to check into the nuthatch. I'm serious. I want to find some nice quiet mental institution and check in with a "no visitors" mandate and let them give me good drugs and do the thorazine shuffle.
