Funny you should ask - I was just on my way.

I have to rant and can I please please PLEASE win the lottery so I can quit my job? please?

First of all I need a good strong...hmmm....Hurricane please?

Ok now for the rant. I've basically just been told I'm a second class citizen. I'm lucky enough to have a profit sharing account here at work through Wachovia. Well I just discovered yesterday that all of our accounts for Wachovia for work are "fee free" except for mine. I ranted to my boss a little bit about it and he said he'd ask our "guy" about it when he talked to him today. So my boss just called and said the reason every other account is "fee free" is because he has X amount of dollars there, and the reason I have fees is because my account isn't worth that much. And don't get me wrong, it's not like my account is worth a few hundred dollars. It's what I would consider a substantial amount - but evidently it's just not enough for Mr. Ionlydealwithpeoplewithalotofmoney! And this comes on top of basically being blown off by the guy when I called a few weeks ago to ask for some advice on how I should switch my portfolio around. If I could have, I would have taken all my money out right then and there, and now he relegates me to a second class citizen. My boss said that the guy said that when I get to my bosses level, then I'll have no fees either. I told my boss that when I get to that level I won't be with this guy anymore. I so wish I could move my money to somebody who would appreciate it instead of looking down on me because I don't have as much as some of his other clients. God I am so aggrivated! I sat here all day being the dutiful employee - only peeking at PT now and then - and then I get slapped in the face with this! Well, guess who's not doing anymore work today and might just call in sick tomorrow!!! There aren't enough 's for me to express how aggrivated I am.

So, the first Hurricane is finished, can I please have another one? Although I better not have too many because I might do something rash and just quit or something......

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the "guy" is a friend of my boss's, so my boss could have persuaded him to do my account fee free too if he had wanted to bad enough. My boss is starting to get a little arrogant these days too. He never used to be that way, but I've noticed in the last couple of years that he has lorded the "I've got more money than you" thing over me a few times, and that is unacceptable in my book. In my book it doesn't mean a thing to me how much money you have, it's the person you are inside that matters, and I'm starting to feel a little....shall we say....looked down upon lately. Anybody need a good office manager out there?

And one more Hurricane and I think I'll be able to put this behind me and enjoy the rest of the day.
