Nothing New

Well, things at work have been going ok. Had a couple of days where I wasn't bitched at, so I guess all is good there. I won't be seeing "the bosses" for a couple of weeks and hopefully they won't call me with any bullshit.

Other then that, I haven't been up to much. Went hang out with some friends Saturday night and although I had a couple of friends stop by to visit me, I didn't get laid. I think (I KNOW) I need to get rid of some sexual tension, before I explode on someone, lol.

Anyway, that's all that's up. Hope everyone is having a Wonderful October!

AGAIN!

Well, I started day shift today and the shit started again. I got called in for doing something that I have been doing (without being reprimanded) for over 3 yrs. It doesn't violate policy, but it doesn't go with the policy either. So today, our new boss bitched me out for doing it. I'M SO SICK OF THIS SHIT! I was at the point where I was about to walk out while he was bitching me out, but I sat there and looked him straight in the face. I'm sure tomorrow will be more shit, but I'm not gonna stress about it. I been so mad today that I cried (I cry when I'm REALLY pissed) and ended up with a horrible migraine that I have yet to get rid of. I refuse to let that place or those people get to me to the point that I'm feeling ill. IT WON'T HAPPEN! They want to follow the policy, I'll follow the policy to a "T." We'll see how much they like that!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Waiting

Well, since I last blogged, nothing "bad" has happened at home or at work (unless you consider Mother Nature as a bad thing, lol). I go to the day shift tomorrow, so I'll see how things go. I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but sometimes it's a lil hard. I hate being bitched at for stuff that everyone does all the time! Oh well, that's life. I guess until I win the lottery, I'll have to deal with the assholes!

Well, nothing special happened today. I brought my mom to the grocery store, so she's happy and my boss didn't call me, so I'm happy. I hate this feeling, it's like I'm just waiting for the hammer to come down on me. I'm just gonna try to relax a bit and wait and see what happens next. I really need a vacation where I can get rid of all my stress!

Sheesh, More Crap!

So today, the whole issue with my mom is better, but I got a call from my boss bitching me out AGAIN for taking a day off (I have over 2000 hrs leave time) . For the last 5+ yrs, if you wanted a day off, you fill out a leave slip and put in in your supervisor's box. If they don't tell you no, then you don't come in. Well, that's what I did and got bitched out for it. Of course, policy states that you have to request the day off AND get a response before you take the day off, but as I said, for the last few yrs, we haven't been doing it this way. I think they been letting us get away with doing it the "wrong" way, just so they will have something to come after us for later. I know his REAL reason for calling and bitching me out and it has nothing to do with my taking a day off. It's all because I left my shift snitch to the dogs.

Last week, I got called in (ON MY DAY OFF) to get bitched out for (1) the way I handled a situation and (2) something someone that works with me complained about. Now mind you, I had been called three times on the phone for these same things, but that wasn't enough. Also, I got these calls approximately 4 hours after I got off working a 12 hr night shift. Anyway, I admitted that the first situation was handled poorly and I saw where they were coming from, but the second incident was a total blindside. I didn't know that situation was gonna be brought up or that the situation even existed! You see, I seem to have a snitch that works on my shift and he goes to my supervisor whenever he's not happy with something that happens on shift. Of course, he never says anything about ALL the stuff he does, but he's quick to complain about stuff the other guys do (I supervise a shift of 3 males and 2 females). My supervisor loves drama so much, he just eats up the whole situation. He has tried several time in the past to establish snitches on my shift, but we had loyalty and no one would tell him anything. If we were doing something illegal, that would be a whole other story, but nothing we do is illegal. The big complaint the one guy has, is that the other two guys are good friends and talk a lot during shift and the 3rd guy doesn't have anyone to talk to (he admitted to me if we got another guy on shift, he would be happy cause it would give him someone to talk to). He went as far as to tell my supervisor that they need to split up the two guys. The two guys do their job very well and although they do sit and talk during shift from time to time, it's not a problem and it's certainly not his responsibility to report it. The way I look at it, if someone is coming to you with rumors about someone else, you should look into their closet to get the skeletons out, but of course, they don't. So anyway, after my bitch session, I got my shift together and had a bitch session of my own. I spoke to them as a shift and to each one individually. One of the guys also gave the snitch an earful, including letting him know that he caught the snitch sleeping on shift and didn't say anything, but that if he continues to snitch, he would report him. So, by taking off, I left the two guys who now pretty much hate the snitch, alone with him to supervise.

So, the drama at home is over for now, but I have a feeling that the drama at the office is just starting. I would love to win the Powerball so I can tell them all to kiss my a$$!

First Blog

I have blogged on another site, but I wanted to start something new, so here I am. This first entry (and possibly others) will be "all over the board" until I get back in the swing of blogging, so please be patient.

A little about me:
I'm a single 41 yr old black woman. I work full time (have had my job for almost 15 yrs) and I own my house and car. I have one son and my mother (61yrs old) also lives with us. My son is a college student and works part time, my mother works full time. I also own two dogs, a terrier/chow mix and a beagle/spitz mix (although he looks a like like some type of coyote mix). That rounds out my household.

Ask just about anyone that knows me and they will say that I am a really laid back, friendly (although a bit shy), open minded, a sometimes opinionated person who loves being surrounded by friends most of the time. I, like everyone else, also like my alone time. When I'm not working, I'm usually hanging out with my friends, reading/watching tv or online chatting. I guess a lot of people would say that I lead a pretty boring life, but I consider it relaxing. Like most people, I hate to be stressed or stress about things.

The reason I started my blog today, is because I am aggravated once again. With my job, I work 12 hr shifts. Sometimes nights and sometimes days. This morning when I got off work at 6am, I had a "lack of caffeine" headache, so I drank a cup of coffee before heading to bed. I went to bed at approximately 730am. At 9am, I woke up to bring my son to work, At approximately 930am, I returned home and went back to sleep. When I returned home, my mother was awake and I knew she needed me to bring her to the grocery store, but I hoped that she understood that I was exhausted and needed more sleep. I went to sleep and slept until approximately 3pm and, as I should have guessed, she was pissed that I hadn't brought her to the store earlier. WTF? Am I not entitled to 5 hrs sleep? She goes to sleep at 9pm and wakes up at 6am. When my son and the dogs are playing in the hallway and making noise, she yells at them that they need to be quiet cause she has to work in the morning. So, what entitles her to 9 hrs of sleep, but not me to 5 hrs of sleep?

It's now 730pm and I'm "over" the aggravation of earlier today, but that doesn't mean I have forgotten it. After all, it has happened several times before. She has actually stopped talking to me for days (and yes, she's living in MY house and acting this way)! At this point, I know she's not moving out. She pays electricity and buys groceries, so who would leave that setup? Where else can you live for approximately $400 a month and have a cell phone, cable, internet and everything else all paid? I bought my house approximately 6 yrs ago and I have had sex 3 times in it, YES, THREE TIMES! At my age, I should be able to have freedom and I don't feel I do. She knows I won't tell her it's time to move out and I know she won't leave because overall, we do have a good relationship. Honestly though, if I would have thought it would've ended up this way, I would have bought a 2 bedroom house instead of a 3 bedroom house!

Thanks for reading and hopefully by the time I blog again, things will be better.
