Oh where oh where do I begin...needless to say, I'm going to be venting like no other. All said and done, it might not appear to be a great deal, but I needed to vent it off (or it'll turn into a novel, one of the two).
*School is starting up again tomorrow which, oddly enough, I'm rather excited for. I took the summer off as a means of taking a break and I'll agree with Brian that it was needed. However, I might need to double up on some classes and just plug and chug through it to get done somewhat soon. Brian decided that he wanted to go back to school, but doesn't understand why he's required to take the required general ed classes that most places require instead of just taking the classes he needs to get his degree. Although I do see his point, I do have him convinced that I'll help him with the gen-ed classes that he needs to take (and of course, by "helping" probably means that I'll be doing it for him...ah well). I'm just glad that he's decided to go back to school again.
* I would say hands down that my biggest source of frustration right now isn't my inability to get pregnant...it would be work. Yes, the place I love to go to 5 days/at least 40hrs/week is finally getting to me after 3 years. It honestly appears as if no one wants to be there anymore, and with due cause. We had a department meeting on Monday and it honestly felt like we were being chewed out for this, that and everything else for 90mins. I honestly wanted to simply get up and walk out, but I figured I'd probably get one heck of a butt chewing for that one. I'll admit that I've worked in crappy places before, but this is actually starting to get ridiculous. The policies change on a daily basis, we're constantly being told that we're not doing stuff correctly when we are (or at least some of us are anyways). Instead of talking to those that aren't doing their job correctly on an individual basis, everyone gets the butt-chewing so those who don't know they're not things correctly don't feel isolated. Make them feel isolated! Maybe then it would sink in that they're not doing something correctly. I've honestly tossed around the idea of looking for another job. It used to be that I really enjoyed going to work and now I don't want to go because I'm afraid that if I look at someone the wrong way that I'm going to get written up for it or talked to about it. I am flat out tired of it. I know the economy sucks and jobs aren't that plentiful, but I'm willing to take my chances. That actually brings up another point--we're being told that we're under a tight budget and if items A, B and C don't get fixed soon, we're going to start laying people off...if you're threatening to do lay-offs..why did we just hire new people??? Management seriously needs to get off their arses and start being managers and supervisors instead of trying to cover their butt with PR crap. If they were doing their job to begin with and making sure their staff was doing their job, you wouldn't need to do PR crap to make up for it.
