Speaking of Work..................

Speaking of work – My inconsiderate – bitchy – nasty – horrible – repulsive – vicious – cruel – malicious – spiteful – witch of a boss – has decided that I should be going back to work 5 days a week – and she is petitioning H.R. to have my position changed back as such! My 4 days a week has NEVER been an issue with any boss – just with her. She has been my boss 3 times and 3 times had an issue with my 4 days a week - and I said after the third time that if I EVER had to work under her again – (that’s what she said last night!………………..Oh – she’d be SO LUCKY!!!! That’s sarcasm!) I would quit working here – well – my nightmare returned – and I had to try and break my promise to myself – and I was doing great – until she threw that little tidbit at me! Needless to say – I did a bit of research and what she was telling me was incorrect – she said that before H.R. would allow us to hire someone else in this department – cause we have sooooooooooooooooo much work that is not getting done - I would have to come back 5 days a week – well – throughout the organization I found two examples of that NOT BEING TRUE and I forwarded it to her. I also mentioned – that if she did manage to make this position a 5 day a week job – and I was given the ultimatum of taking it or losing my job – the Union would be brought in – cause I KNOW they’d have something to say about it! I mean – I do not pay Union dues for nothing! I have already brought in the Union once – two bosses I had were trying to tell me that I was actually clinically insane! The Union rep laughed when we went into the meeting and said to them – “To start with – I have been speaking with Denyse – she is very intelligent – but I’ll tell you one thing – from one psychologist to another – she is not crazy, but you DO NOT want to get into her head!” (and I reminded them of that quite often!) – so now - because I brought in the Union - I now have a black mark on my record………………..so bringing in the Union a second time – would not break my heart! As well – if I had a co-worker who did other stuff other than sleep through her day (she has a mild case of narcolepsy) – like maybe – do some actual WORK! - then maybe the work would get done! THEN – the cow starts on the fact that I take time off on top of my 4 days a week – because of my “supposed migraines”! Yes – that is what she said! So I told her that from now on – no matter how intense the headache is – I will be in the office – barfing in my garbage can – and sleeping at my desk (too!) – cause the drugs I have to take knock me out. I figured that if it was okay for one to sleep during the day at work – why wouldn’t it be okay for me?!? She told me I was being “unfair” to this other staff member – and I told her she was being an absolute bitch to me! (I am sooooooooooooooo surprised she didn’t fire me yesterday!) She said that I was working at a pet shop on the Friday – so it wasn’t like I was taking a day off for me – which she would be more inclined to allow me to have my 4 days……………..whoa a minute – this place DOES NOT PAY ME for that Friday – nor do they OWN MY TIME! Because having my husband cater to my every needs isn’t my idea of a day “to myself” and working in a “pet shop” is my sanity break” doesn’t mean I am not taking the day off for myself. WHOA! I was ready to absolutely explode…I couldn’t breathe – the room was spinning – I was sweating – and my language no longer sounded like English! HOLY CRAP……………..Ya know – the “rational” thing to do would be to go back for 5 days a week – (which I will no doubt end up having to do anyways – especially after talking to Tim – we both looked at all angles - as well as ways that I could squash her plan – gotta say – she has the hammer hanging over my head!) But you know – coming back 5 days a week will be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo incredibly stressful – I will have to go on stress leave……cause………..well – I have a very severe form of revengefulness! Don’t piss off the Diz – you WILL NOT WIN! Actually – after I finish this verbal purge – I am going to call the doctor and make an appointment – “to chat”! He’s on my side…………..we’ll find a way to make that bovine turn it around! GAWD – life is way too short to be worrying about what other people are doing with THEIR lives……………..she is my supervisor – not God! I wish more “bosses” would realize at one time – they were pee-ons too! I will really miss working at the pet shop – but if I have to come here 5 days a week – I am not sure I would have the energy to work at the pet shop on the Saturday – so I will have to quit! Unless of course I work at night – after work – I’ll just have to wait to see what is happening after she petitions for my impending devastation which should take a bit of time – I was doing so well for quite a few months there – no need to vent on my blog site – nothing – well – this one is going up there cause at this very moment - I AM PISSED RIGHT OFF!!!!!
