So, apparently my escape plan has not worked out since we are not going to VA anytime soon. Dangit. So, I have to made do with my current job (well, there’s always the option of another job in Cheesecake City but it turns out I’m actually pretty well paid. Oops).<\/p>\n
Gwen has been my boss now for 6ish weeks and now I remember why I didn’t really mind not having her for my boss for the previous 3+ years. Oops. She has all these expectations and doesn’t live in Scotchland (I’m not saying Stefania’s boss is from Scotland – I’m saying I think he’s a fucking alcoholic) so she’s actually awake and present during the day.<\/p>\n
And I think she (still) checks my web surfing history which makes it really hard to check my 3 personal email addresses multiple times a day.<\/p>\n
So anyway – she has all these expectations of me as an employee and payroll as a job. And what’s amazing is that I really believe that (with her help sometimes) we may be able to make them happen. Yesterday we sat down and devised a report that we’re going to present to the Bosses to say “Hey bitches! Fix this shit!” (ooh, I should totally call the report that). And we’ve got the people that installed our crappy software coming out so I can say (to them) “Hey bitches, fix this shit” and that will save me so much time.<\/p>\n
And there’s the Major Payroll Initiative – yikes! – that I’m working on STILL. I swear, it’s not going to be fixed any time soon (possibly because it involves me, spreadsheets and figuring out the minimum wage for overtime hours – FUN!). The good news is that Gwen told the Big Big Boss and he was supposedly suitably appalled. Which feels good, since it’s not my fault.<\/p>\n
And then there’s all the Extra Crap that was shoveled at me a few weeks ago. The good news is that we simplified drug testing so part of my job may get a little easier (I no longer have to call some random medical center in Noplace City and beg them to stay open until 5:30). And I’m working closer with our insurance, which is super scary.<\/p>\n
So, while I definitely feel that Mahjobiscrappis, things may get better with Gwen’s help (and D to shovel chocolate and Diet Dr Pepper at me). I’ll stay insanely busy (seriously – I can’t go to the chiropractor without thinking of another 4 things to add to my to do list), but I hope I won’t freak out like I did the last time I worked with Gwen, when my to do list hit 20 items and I decided to read a book at my desk while the boss was away and then TELL someone I did that, (stupid me). Maybe I can live up to my actual potential.<\/p>\n
And wouldn’t that be fucked up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
