Well I saw an opening posted for another position in my company. It's actually in another building, away from the daily drama I've been putting up with for the last two years. I went up to human resources immediately but before I could apply I needed to talk with my supervisor about a change in positions....my hateful, shrill, difficult, totally impossible, awful, she-demon supervisor. During our talk I kept my head on and didn't spout..."I WANT A CHANGE BECAUSE I HATE YOUR GUTS YOU FAT, STUPID BITCH!!!" I just said, and it's mostly true, that my current job is better suited for a younger person, I come home aching and completely drained....physically and mentally, I just left the mentally part out. It's hard enough to keep going physically while my supervisor makes all these daily idiotic, arbitrary changes "just because"........She didn't give me an immediate answer because she needs to "look in to it" and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. They have turned down people seeking a change in positions many times before.
I don't believe in prayer but what the hell, pray for me, I really could use a change before my heart gives out.

I'm guessing I won't sleep well tonight.

Apparently Evergrey and M II A II R II K are trying to out-do each other in a battle of wits over who can find/post the stupidest city-related lists imaginable.

It might kill off the subforum altogether, but I think in the long run, City Discussions would be better off if the mods banished Forbes and other idiotic lists from being posted/discussed.

Also, I shouldn't check my work email before going to bed.

I get a panicked call early this morning from my boss because it "might" rain and that "might" impact some of the residents living in the mountains if flash flooding occurs. Turns out she was pissed that the National Weather Service hadn't yet issued a flood advisory.

And apparently because one of my co-workers is leaving, my boss felt the need to tell me that I have to "step up and work harder" until a replacement for the co-worker is found.

Nothing I ever do is good enough for this woman, and I'm at her beck and call 24/7. How much harder am I supposed to work?

^ Bucky, I think you and rock should pull a "Throw Mama From the Train" deal, except do it with your bosses.

rockyi · #**2048** Posted **Oct 5, 2011, 10:46 PM**

I'd love to....and, no, I didn't get the new position I applied for.

^ Sorry about the bad news ref: the job rock. I didn't realize you've put up a new avatar pic. Gotta say, you do look like a hit man in that rascal.

Our grant writing intern (who put in extra hours last week to meet a deadline) called in sick today, prompting my boss to say "I guess now we know how reliable she'll be."

I'm half-tempted to report her comment to HR

Fusey (now called Lipiani or something like that) said I looked like Robocop.

I was on my way to a friends wedding around 12 years ago.

But, about the new job, I kind of figured my boss would come up with an excuse to deny my request. I just thought it would be easier to move to another postion within the company than try to start all over again at the age of 51. Now all I can hope for is for viper woman to get fired....or perhaps promoted, I don't care, as long as she gets out of my depatment.

Do it, man. She sounds like a bitch.
