work

my vice president decided that she couldn’t handle the pressure anymore and has gone out on sick leave. this is the woman who got me this job… and was working to get a in range progression for me (in laymen terms a raise). honestly, i’m a bit saddened by this. i don’t think the muckety mucks at this university appreciated what they had, or they took advantage of it. either way, it sucks.

lately i’ve been in this “friend” limbo at work. apparently, my level is too high to be friends with the hourly group… and too low for the management group. with one person on my level at work, it means that i don’t talk to people much. with the holiday season fast approaching, i’m feeling more and more out of the loop… they are planning their holiday gift exchanges, parties and such. when i walk up, they shut up. it’s quite irritating. it makes for a hard day. i go home, and talk for hours due to lack of interaction here.

as much as i like the work i do, and even like my vp… there are days when i wish i could smack this “lower class” of workers upside the head and say: “get a clue, friendship has nothing to do with class level or paycheck size.”

i think maybe i won’d be distributing my christmas cd at work this year. why waste the money on people who don’t like me anyway.
