              So, i went on my very much needed vacation…..it was a cruise….We hit a huge storm and had to stay in our stateroom for about two days. Everything was flying all over the place. Sea-sickness non-stop for about 80% of the guests. The cruise line did everything they could to keep us safe. I got a parcel refund but now i need a vacation from my vacation.

                      I need a glass of whine today too. 🙁 So I went to school in 2013-2015 to join the medical field (imaging) and finished in February. I thought I would be good at it because I think about things differently than most people, so I saw this as a good problem solving trait. I like chatting with strangers and hearing their story, and people have always told me I’m “sweet” and kind. Days like today make me question everything. So I get my current job in April 2015. I was hired to do what I went to school for but ultimately was sent to a location where they didn’t have imaging so I helped out. I learned a lot actually. The other girl who was hired as the same title as me went to a location where she could actually practice her skills, even though they weren’t busy. The other girl takes her state test and doesn’t pass. I take it and pass. So I get a raise. By the time we figure out she didn’t pass (it took months because it was a state test) my boss switches us. That meant me driving 30 miles one way into town, waking up at 3:30AM to carpool with my boyfriend, and later at 5:00AM just to miss some traffic to appear for my 8AM shift.

                      This past Friday we all get an email from the boss who says she’s switching us back, even though the other girl hasn’t passed or taken her test again. I texted my boss to ask why and she said it’s because “[the big head doctor] requested it”. I woke up to that text Sunday morning. I was crushed.

                      Monday I come into my old job, which is only 20% as busy as the down town location, and my “friend” my co-worker “R” is treating me like I’m a foolish, incompetent, child she just met. I finally confronted her and asked why she’s treating me differently (oh I should add that things have been awkward between us since she texted me, un-inviting me to her wedding) and she says “Do you know why you’re here?!” she then went on to accuse me of being a screw up from the beginning, saying how she was nice to me even though she didn’t have to go out of her way for me, and how she got blamed because I “wasn’t trained”. I spent just as long down town as I did at my “home” location. The job down town is MUCH more complex and I tried my darndest but somehow things I’d checked off on were turning up un-done, over and over and over again. I got blamed for everything and honestly I feel like this is Mexico: you’re guilty until proven innocent. I’ve put my heart, my life and everything into going to school, WHILE working 45 hours a week during the day and Saturday sometimes WHILE maintaining a relationship, WHILE cooking and cleaning at 10:30PM when I finally get home. I sacrificed to get here and now I’m ‘not good enough’. “R” and I used to chat about life, talk about personal issues, talk about our childhood, I felt like we were connecting on a human level, but as I told her today, “now I see how you feel”. Today has sucked and I can’t forsee it getting any better this week. I almost want to wait until April to make my year and find a job where I can use what I went to school for. It’s a shame because there was another co-worker in my department who I feel connected to, and lots of cool people at the company. On top of that, “R” called me from the other room to tell me I’d made mistakes on the two things I’d done today and the girl who failed her test texted me to tell me she’d fixed an issue I didn’t even know about that I’d messed up. Kick me while I’m down!

                        Sorry to hear that Wolfen. You don’t deserve that and anyone who puts you down probably just wants you to look bad so they can feel better about themselves. So you liked it better where you were before? Maybe it would be good to try and find something else in the next couple months where you can use your skills and where people will treat you better and respect you. That’s odd that would switch people when one hasn’t passed an exam? I have had bad experiences with past employers as well and if I didn’t like my experience I found something else. It’s not worth it to stay and let them get you down unless they realize their own faults and change which is unlikely.

                        Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

                          Wow Tinks! I am glad you are back safe and sound! I’s suggest a bubble bath and something to drink, but you might be tired of water. lol

                          Looking for:
                          "COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"

                            Sorry you are being treated like that WolfenMachine. It always suck to feel unappreciated for what you do. And to be blamed for things you weren’t even around for. I hope things get better for you soon!
                            Hugs

                              Well the problem is that if you do one thing wrong, you get a big blame. I was in the restroom one day and my boss came looking for me. She went to my co-worker (who has been there the longest 5 years) and asked where I was. She didn’t know, so after that I get accused of “disappearing”. My boss approached me about it and I told her I was in the restroom so after that, I told one of my two co-workers if I was going to get water/coffee, go to the restroom, do an xray exam (which is what I was hired to do) or anything that was not in their sight. Excuse me, I didn’t know I had to tell someone every time I needed to pee, like in Kindergarten. My “friend” “R” at my ‘home’ location scolded me, put me down and almost yelled at me again today because I ask the same questions every 10 days. I don’t feel like I do, I ask questions about things that were not clear the first time, or things I was not normally in charge of. I’m so done with this place. I’m looking for a new job. 2016 has NOT been a good year for me and I’ll be selling more sculptures this week.

                                *Sigh* I wish I knew more about computers. And jobs.

                                So, Monday, I come in for work. I work at Office Depot. I’m the employee that had been there the longest (an amazing year and five months). I did have a little trouble with management during my mother’s cancer treatment, but I’d redeemed myself thrice over. We were informed our particular location was closing down, so I started planning to look for another job. So my manager calls me in and tells me I’m fired – four days before I put in my two weeks. They didn’t want to pay me unemployment for when the store closed. It was really unfair and I’m still unhappy.

                                And I had to put in my computer for repairs when the charger jack snapped. Turns out my hard drive needed to be replaced also. I’m glad I backed up everything, so I didn’t mind. What I DIDN’T know is they also wiped my version of Microsoft Office. Word, Picture Manager, everything I used is now gone. I’m really upset because I write a lot, and was really looking forward to getting back to it. Now I have to go on a long search for the version of Office I need at a price that won’t break me. I think I shelled out WAY too much money for this thing. But oh well. That’s my whine. Its been a rough couple of days.

                                Finding happiness again.

                                  I’m so, so sorry WolfenMachine. I went through something similar recently, though nowhere near as grueling as your experience. Chin high! You’re a wonderful person, and I’m sure you’ll make it through.
