I Hate My Job

I don't mind my job, I mean I know what I'm supposed to do and I do at least 85% more than one of the guys in my section. He likes to take off and make us wait for him or he'll slack off big time. It kind of pisses me off that I AM the one picking up HIS slack.

Meh. I pick up the slack for most people in my life. always have, always will.

I know what is expected of me, and I do my job, but I still get dumped on.

For examples:

1) The woman I was working with (overtime)... She messed up, but they pinned it on me so now I am not allowed to work overtime anymore eventhough they know I have a kid and they know that I need the money.

She saw me in the hall after the shift tonight and she whistled at me to hget my attention. I hate when people do that. It's like whistling for your dog.

There is a dog story, but I'll get to that another time.

Anyway, I wasn't going to stop and wait for her and she seemed a bit pissed off. Can you blame me? It's her fault that I can't get extra hours. She is so ignorant that she doesn't realize that.

2) Another woman I worked with in my section... She is nice. Always saying Hi to me and she talks to me, but she seems to be more friendly with another girl on our shift and they are going out to some club together on Valentine's Day. They didn't invite me. Eventhough I tried to be nice and I even bought her a hot chocolate (not that I was expecting anything in return).

3) I hate working in the cafeteria. The kitchen staff seem to really despise me. They ignore me and when I say anything to them, they say: "Yeah..." Sarcastically. You know... They don't care about anything I have to say. I don't know if it is because they don't like my personality, or if it is because of that time that the night staff unplugged an icecream freezer and they had to throw away all the icecream in it. They tried to blame it on me and I got a lecture on caution.

4) I hate when people laugh at me. They walk by me and laugh at me like I'm a purple maggot or something. It erks me because I know I should be able to get something in my field and I know that people cleaning hospitals make twice as much as me to do the exact same thing. The reason behind that is that the cleaners get depressed working in the hospitals knowing the doctors get more money. So they should! It's either bump us up to what those cleaners make or put them in their place by giving all cleaners only 10 bucks an hour. What they don't realize is that the cleaners in hospitals actually make more than intern doctors. That is why the doctors want to go to the States.

I know that this phase is temporary and at least I have a job.
I have to be thankful for this job
Eventhough it's not what I went to college to become

There's still hope for an actual career. One day....
