The new job didn't work out...

[cyber-sibes]

oh Donna, I'm so sorry it didn't work out. People can be so weird and judgemental.
I started a job at a shipping site and after one week, the boss ( she was 20-something) threw her hands in the air and said she just didn't know what else to do with me - I just wasn't "getting it". I was dumbfounded. getting what? As far as I could tell, i was doing everything correctly, I just didn't have it all "memorized" yet and had to look at a chart for box sizes. duh. I lasted two weeks then got called to the clothing shop where I've been for two years now. Hang in there.

Oh I'm so sorry. I really hope something better comes along, one with supportive co-workers and supervisors. It's just terrible how employers can expect everything of you but they give you little in return. I personally don't understand why the supervisor didn't respect your honesty. I have almost always been overwhelmed at the beginning of a new job. I think everyone is. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll find something better soon. Good luck.

Best of luck

SAS,

Of course I'm not offended by your post. I know you're only trying to help. I've worked for law firms for 12 years. Most of the lawyers I've met were a bag of @$$holes. Arrogant, pompous and so self-absorbed. After my Dad passed away and I was almost hospitalized for depression, I decided enough was enough. I haven't looked back. Sure the money was good, but the abuse was unbearable.

I absolutely LOVE working with animals. I was offered a part-time Animal Control Officer position by the Seargent at the Meriden Pound. I've also put in a call to her to see what the status is.

I'm SO very fortunate to have such a wonderful roommate. Mark and I talked and he said that as long as he's able to cover the rent and stuff, not to worry. Something will come along. If it weren't for Mark, me and the cats would be living in my car.

Thank you so much everyone for being such great friends. I wasn't going to post about this at all because I didn't want to feel like I was having a "pity party". But I know I could come here and find solace. You guys are the best!!!

Hey Donna, I know what you mean by some lawyers being **&&**holes. Not all of them are, by any stretch of the imagination. Some are nice, polite, practical, etc. etc. Many are under a great deal of pressure, and they knew what it would be like that coming in to the profession, I am sure. I don't feel sorry for anyone who signs up for it! Same goes with the employees. I signed up for this job. The secret is to find what works for you. Only YOU have the answers to that. That's my point.

Lawyers like me because I have their numbers. I know how to deal with them and their issues....and vice versa. It would be no different for someone who worked in a doctor's office. You gotta know the turf and the cast of characters.

Soul searching when looking for a job can be just as important. Can I work for a company that........is it part of my makeup to deal with ......etc. etc.

Good luck Donna. I know you can figure this out and get back on track. It is nice that your roomie is being understanding about your situation.

L,
SAS

I called the dental office and I have an interview today at 3pm. I also talked to the Sargent at the Meriden Pound. She said that there is no decision yet and there probably won't be anytime soon.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! Will let you know what happens.

Love,
Kim
