One bad thing about working in childcare is that it is a constant reminder of just how terrible people can be. Like when you seen signs that a child is possibly being abused in one way or another. There are so many monsters out there.
Ugh. I do not miss that part of when I worked at the rehab. We had so many patients that, when you looked at the background of their childhood, were basically just screwed from the beginning because of horrible things their own parents did to them.
Our air conditioning system is broken. Sweating while you work is not cute.
They overcompensated and now I'm freezing my ass off.
Welcome to every single day at work for me. On the plus side, I can only assume my assortment of jackets and sweaters will be nicer by the end of this year because I wear them on the regular now so I am always on the lookout for nicer ones.

There really are. I used to do data entry for a foster youth organization, the stuff I had to read/type was pretty horrific. I wish it was just the rare the exception, but there were thousands of cases that were so sad.

Well I dressed light after the sweatfest we had yesterday, that's not helping things at all.

You gots to prepare for that stuff, lady. I have one of my lesser jackets hanging on a hook at my desk all the time just in case I forget to bring one with me.
So apparently.... in my company the role of Project Manager, legit just requires you to no absolutely 0 about the project and anyone's roles, but rather, all you need to do is be a middle man, and just repeat EVERY FUCKING EMAIL that the client sends to you. Then continue to ask questions to people that are way out of their scope. Fucking learn the god damn project, that's why you make more fucking money than me!
On a side note, i was informed yesterday that i got a promotion.... but i think i am still looking for other jobs.

They've "fixed" our air a few times in the past few months. How was I to know that they would ACTUALLY fix it this time?! Jerks.
I've done this job for over two years and worked in mental health for three. I understand getting upset or angry and doing or saying things you shouldn't. But there are some things I will never, ever be able to wrap my head around. How can people be capable of such horrible things? And how can they not be eaten alive by guilt and shame?

Definitely something I thought about long and hard over the years. In the end, I decided it's probably best not to think about it. For me, it matter more what I could do to steer patients back on the right path, so that is what I focused on.
After lunch, I got moved to help pick boxes flooring tiles. (Unpleasant enough of a task without suffering 85-90 degree heat and humidity and no AC on top.) The normal train of thought is, work on the largest work assignments first and keep going down the list by number of boxes you pick. This guy Gisus and I were both doing that, taking the larger assignments and toiling away on those. I ended up picking orders of 124, 148, and 145.
The third guy in this pick zone, who I'll call Fuckboy cause he is one, took nothing larger than 75 until he basically ran out of little assignments. While I'm taking the over 100 assignments, he's going through stuff that's like 2, 4, 22, 13. This is far from the first time he's been caught doing this, and a lot of people are angry at him for not carrying his own weight.
Every morning I take the stairs to the 3rd floor. Every morning this guy takes the stairs to the 4th floor. I know this is starting to sound like a journey song but no.
The guy never says anything but today he looked at me and said "Every day I work here, the stairs just get longer and longer" and he just looked so sad and depressed and down on life. I didn't know what to say or do. It's kind of put me in a sad mood too.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Here's some ::good vibes:: for that guy!
Broken air-conditioning..... or broken ice-machine?
There couldn't be an easier question... AC. Although if both are broken for you, that sucks that you can't even make a cold ice water to help you combat the heat!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Totally AC. We have no ice-machine, have to go old school with the trays!

It's been so so humid. I'm thankful that the temperature has only been in the low 80s. If were pushing 90, we'd probably be flirting with the most ambulance trips out in a week record.

A month ago I was enjoying a 2nd shift schedule, going to bed around 5am, waking up at 1pm. Since I have a one hour drive it was great because I didn't have to deal with any real traffic. Then my boss decided to kick me in the nuts. On a Friday of all days, he tells me that I'm going to first shift starting Monday. I had mixed feelings because I prefer 1st shift because of the normal hours but it adds to the drive plus less money. He then tells me that 1st shift is on indefinite overtime. This sucks because the overtime is 2 hours before the normal shift start time of 7:30am. That means in order for me to get there on time I have to leave my house around 4:15am which means I have to wake up at around 3am. Not good when you're used to going to bed around 5am.
I've been doing this for a month now and I'm still having a hard time getting to bed around 8pm. I get home around 4:45pm so that only leaves me about 3 hours to shower, cook some food, eat, walk the dog, and clean up the kitchen. I'm losing my mind. I spend half of the time between 8pm-3am tossing and turning in bed. I'm getting roughly 3 hours of sleep a day. The only thing I look forward to is the weekend which I was just informed that I'll be working the next 2 Saturdays.
Somebody please shoot me or blow up Caterpillar in Aurora IL, thanks.
Btw, there isn't any air conditioning where I work. Lately it's been cool but I'm sure 90 degree weather is approaching.

Shit just got real at work during the past week, with things blowing up yesterday in a bad way. My co-worker is bat shit crazy and the only reason she still has a job is because the boss is her best friend. I'm taking the evening to cool off then I start a job search tomorrow, because if I have to work another minute with this bitch I'm gonna catch an assault charge.
Fucking training is terrible. I've been seriously training since January. JANUARY! This chick is terrible. She is so awkward on the phone and all we're doing right now is answering phones. So I have to listen to her be so freaking awkward with these poor people ago just want to be good citizens and report crime.... It's been so bad that she's actually been hung up on twice because she just stopped talking when she got stuck. Then she'll ask me questions directly into the mouthpiece so people are like, "how would I know that?"
Ugh. I'm ready for Forecastle.
Also, thanks for bumping this someone. I tried to find it last night to vent about this and couldn't find it. Then I was going to post in the grrr thread but got side tracked when she started fucking shit up again.

No ice machine?! Is your office management bonkers??!?!?! What on earth do you chomp on when you are nervous and stressed!!!!!
I freak out when the ice goes out. We have one of these. And although it's awesome and makes fluffy pellet ice at rapid speed, it breaks down far too often.

Maybe it's a California thing.
For me, as long as there is a Kuerig or some other coffee making device, I can work pretty much anywhere.

I should've clarified, I've only been training her since June 21st. I had another trainee from January- May who was amazeballs! Went on my 4week primary, and when I came back I started with her two days later. And they just changed our training program so now it's 100 days "butt in seat," regardless of if you're doing well or not. You have to have 100 days of actual on the job training. It's a pain. You should see my daily & weekly eval packets. So many poor trees are being lost to this girl.

Ugh. I just wish people would make up their minds about how we are supposed to do things. I don't care about how we do things. I just wish it wouldn't change every two weeks.

Are you expected to know about all the minuscule changes without actually ever being told about them? That's always fun.
