I would rant, but that takes time, which I don't have, because of this stupid job and all the slow inefficient people associated with it. I hate not to be in control of my own fate (read here: leaving work on time instead of 45 minutes to an hour LATE). I am looking at different teller positions online, and if I could get James to agree I would quit TOMORROW!
Sometimes Laurie leaves a lot later than quitting time. They have to wait for an email from the main branch that tells them everything balanced or cleared or something. The last day of the month is the worse--sometimes she waits an hour or more. She does get paid for waiting around though...
I'm sorry your job isn't going well. I hear ya about not being able to leave on time. Clayton works at a bank too and NEVER gets off when he's supposed to! Drives me NUTS.
Ashley, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Being in a job you hate is miserable. I have wanted to quit so many times but our financial situation will not allow it. I'll be praying for you to either find enjoyment in your job or another job. Ask God to help---He Will.
I worked retail for 3 years. There might have been 30 days out of those three years that I actually left at my scheduled time. 90% of the time, it was 15 minutes later, at the earliest, and during the holidays or other super busy days, it could be up to 1-2 hours before I left after I was supposed to.
I feel weird leaving my current job at 5:00 on the dot. It's just not right. There's always something that could be finished up before I go home, but I'm supposed to just leave it for tomorrow. It irks me sometimes, but I don't get paid overtime.
I've not had time to do anything excpet work the past three days. The first two days were awful and I wanted to quit on the spot, but today is better. I get to spend the holidays with people I love, so right now, that is all that matters to me. Work is just a teeny part of my life, even though it feels like it takes up 90% of my time. I guess the importance lies where I place it.
I remember how hard it is to start somewhere new. I appreciate your attitude! Hang in there and it will get better (or, you can quit if it stays horrid) I love you! You are a big encouragement to me!!
I'm glad you agree! I don't even like for mint candies to be stored in the same jar as the other candies, because then the other candies taste minty! my family is nice about respecting my dislike for mint, so they make sure i have deserts that I like. I can handle toothpaste, and mint flavored gum (mostly), but when it comes to food, nope. No can do.
Washington Mutual has not contacted me again about the position. The woman in HR I spoke with indicated that it would take 5 days to complete my background check. By my reckoing, today is the fifth day, so I expect and hope to get an offer by Friday. I'll let you know if/when I do.
My roots were growing out and making the blonde job look bad, so I'm a brunette now. I've always considered myself having brown hair, but this is darker than my normal colour. Maybe I'll post some pictures when I'm having a good hair day. Oh, and in the process of colouring my hair, I discovered a secret talent in James. He applied the colour, and a more thorough, painstakingly perfect job has never been done, at least to my head. Now I have my own personal colourist. Sweet!
I almost have the teller job at Washington Mutual that I interviewed for the Friday before Thanksgiving. I've just got to do a drug screen and background check and then they will make me an offer. Unfortunately, it looks like the closest lab of the company WaMu uses is in Carollton. Urg. But maybe I will be happily surprised.
I was unhappily surprised yesterday when the Christmas present I am making started to be ugly. So now I've got to do some retroactive fixing to make it presentable. Such high hopes, dashed to smithereens. Why do I ever try to do something crafty? I need to stick to baking pies or something.
Much to do today. Must not dither, dather, or dally. Hello wednesday!
I am sure you will get the job...sounds like me when I try to do crafty things. Hope yours can be fixed to turn out beautiful. Good luck! Sorry your sister-in-law was sick. I am much better today.
Oh, silly me. I thought that you were referring to the branch as the lab for some silly reason so I thought you would be having to drive to Carollton every day for a commute- Silly, silly me!
