Day 20. Write about your job and why you love it or hate it.
Work has been crappy all week, so I figure it's a good time for this one.
First off I didn't always hate my job, like most things the more time I spend here, the less I like it.
It's not all bad, my hours are pretty awesome (they would be more awesome if I were more productive in the morning and if Joe didn't go to bed so early) I work 12ish to 7:30 Monday-Friday and have weekends off. That's really why I am still working here. If I could find a job that paid the same and gave me weekends off I would be there in a heartbeat!
I also like MOST of the people I work with, with a few exception they are all goof fun people, although a few of my favorites have quit/ been fired recently (kinda a bummer).
And well although this job makes me feel as if my brain is melting, it pays the bills and gives me time to blog. ha!
But back to what I hate about, First off my hours (the 12ish thing) so I should be working 11:10-7:30, 8 hours a day 40 hours a week, but my hours got cut back in November with a promise I would get them back...and well I did for like a week and now they are gone again.
The other thing is that I have 8 hours of work to do but really only 3 to do it (and now even less).
I had a meeting with my boss and the person who works in the morning on Tuesday, basically we got yelled at because "we don't get along well enough/ spend enough time together/ we are crappy at team work" What?
Since when is being best friends with your co-workers a requirement?
I mean Joy (morning person) and I get along fine! We talk, and complain about our crappy roommates together, we just also get a lot of work done, and in order to do that we cant be in the same place at the same time...nothing would get done!
So as a result of this meeting I had to make a schedule not just when we come in and when we leave, but what we should be doing when we are here. I mean come on! really? So now there is allotted hanging out time, and when I get to work at 12:30 I cant even do any real work until 1! WTF is that?!?
So stupid!
Oh well "it's wouldn't be called work if you were supposed to like it"
-My Mommy
"It's only work if you would rather be somewhere else"
- J M Barrie, Peter and Wendy.
I would pretty much rather be 1000 places than here.
Day 19. Write about your favorite comfort food (we are women- we ALL have comfort food!)
Oh comfort food!
I have so many favorites!
Carrot cake, I really love the carrot cake from Whole Foods (hate Whole Foods though) They are mini and so fancy looking, Love it! Chrissie and I had a girls night like a month ago when Joe was in NYC, we got 2 bottles of Andre, an assortment on mini cakes from Whole Foods and pizza! Best girls night ever! I need one of those again soon!
Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese!
Joe makes his mom's meatloaf and mac and cheese sometimes...it's amazing!
I never LOVED meatloaf, until Joe made me this the first time, it will put you in a food coma but boy howdy is it gooood!
And best part, I don't have to cook when we have this!
I feel also I should include, Soy Pumpkin Lattes, and Chai Lattes, from Starbucks. I dont get them often I am a pretty die hard just coffee, and soy milk person most of the time, but sometimes being bad feels so good especially when it involves a 300000 calorie coffee drink.
OH AND SMOOTHIES!
I so wish there was a planet smoothie around here, alas there isn't, so I am left dreaming about 2 piece bikini smoothies all day!
Ah well I am super hungry now so I am going to have to end this.
(Also Joe is drunk at work...what an A-HOLE!)
I only say that because I am jealous
A. because I am not drunk at work
B. because he goes out to lunch with his friends and has a good time and then comes home to me I cook him dinner he complains and we got to bed.
It's like we spend no time together(not sleeping) it's starting to really get to me.
ARG! Hungry and Angry, BRING ME A SMOOTHIE!!!!! NOW!!!
