Really?....This is getting old!

I had a weeks vacation last week and it was ok. I did not get as much rest as I hoped I would. With both of the boys in bowling, I had to transport them and their bowling balls majority of the week to school, which meant getting up early and not sleeping in with the little one, and picking them up from school after they come from either a bowling game or practice. Then I technically didn't get a break from the baby until Sunday from 2 to about 5. ( I guess I should be thankful I had even that little break. It's just that it wasn't enough)

So yesterday was my first day back from vacation. The day was going smoothly. Then it happened.
Remember the female co-worker that seems to have a vengeance against me? ( Her and her wicked boss) Well, there was another situation yesterday. My boss sits next to me. So her boss comes over and starts complaining about something that was not put on a spreadsheet that was done. Wanting to know why the additional information was not added. Of course then he asks if (and he said my name as I was sitting there listening) I did the spreadsheet. My boss is looking over the paperwork as this man is in his ear. Then my boss states that he and I discussed last week changes we were going to be making to the spreadsheets. Then my boss realizes that the spreadsheet the other guy gave him, we do not do. So once this other boss leaves, I lean over and ask my boss.." ok, what did I do now?" So he starts talking to me about the spreadsheet and he shows it to me. WE both establish that we do not do this type of spreadsheet. So I walk away to go to the restroom. When I come back, my boss tells me that I didn't do the spreadsheet. He looked through our system and the way our system is, it can tell you who worked on what is there. GUESS WHO WORKED ON THE SPREADSHEET THE OTHER BOSS WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT? None other than the female co-worker who has vengeance against me. Can you believe it? I had previously told my new boss that there was something there and I would one day explain it to him. In the meantime, I continue to treat her, her boss, and everyone else professionally. No attitude, no bitterness, nothing. So now my new boss is starting to see there is something there. What I like is the fact that my new boss is sticking up for me. He is not assuming that whoever comes to him about me is automatically correct in what they are doing. He is being fair. And he is also coming to notice that it is only these 2 people (the female co-worker and her boss) that keep trying to stir up trouble against me. FOR WHATEVER REASON!

What will be the outcome of this? I am not sure. But I do know I am tired of her and her issue, whatever it is, against me. It's bad enough that I am 1 out of a total of 6 minorities in this company. Yes, this company of (we have a total of 200-500 employees in all locations combined) about 100 in this location has only 6 minorities. I haven't seen too many pictures of other minorities in any of the other locations. But I am sick of it. She really should leave me alone. I have not bothered her. She got the acceptance of everyone else she wanted in the office so why focus on me? It's annoying! But at least I now have a boss on my side. One who is fair and will stand up for his team!

Other than that, I am still on the path of trying to find out where I need and should be in my career. Because it definitely doesn't seem like it is with this company. I want to be somewhere where I wouldn't even care that much about the money. Somewhere I can say I love my job! I wonder if that truly exists? A good majority of these career tests I take place me as a psychologist or a mental health counselor. Really? Who knows, but I will keep searching.

Until next time.....

UUUggghhhh......

People can really get on my nerves! You know usually when I can't sleep, I start talking to God. Some nights, He will allow me to fall asleep in the middle of talking to Him. The other night I was not so fortunate. I tossed and turned a little and then, I guess it was towards morning, had 3 different scenarios. 1. There was this handsome guy. (Who wouldn't like that?). Seemed like I was being conflicted. I sensed he was nice but I was worried about the feelings of someone else....
2. I was shopping with this lady. She had alot of money. I guess she was a millionaire. Whenever she would purchase something, she had a ledger that the information would go into. Now the lady wouldn't put the information in the ledger. She always had the clerk do it. So she purchased something and indicated that the clerk was supposed to write it in the ledger. There was some confusion somewhere, because I was the one who ended up explaining to the clerk how to input the information into the ledger.
3. I was watching someone running through people's yards. (Sometimes I felt like I was supposed to run from that person...or at least I was hiding from them) Then it changed to some guys who hijacked a truck. The truck contained some animal and all I could hear/see was someone say 'Filet" and then proceed to cut a chunk of meat from the animal and throw it into a frying pan.  Oh my, oh my.....
I woke up late because of this and I woke up feeling sooooo off! All of it was weird and I couldn't understand any of it.

Anyway, back to people. I don't know why it is some people seem to make it their mission to bother other people without reason. I've spoke about a particular female before who tried numerous times to get me in trouble. She succeeded in turning others against me that don't even talk to me. But not all people are interested in hearing both sides of a story. Especially those who love to gossip! She calmed down for a minute. Then tried to get me in trouble with my new boss. Who didn't take sides and didn't automatically get on my case just because she said so. He was civil enough to see both sides and try to help come to an agreement. It just so happens the agreement was for what I had suggested to her from the beginning. OH she didn't like that. So she calmed down for a while. She started being all nice and fake. (I know her routine now). Then of course, here she comes again. She never does things on her own. She tries to round up troops before she swoops in for the kill. I try my hardest not to get made about it anymore. It's hard to, but I just pray I have a better boss this time around. I do nothing to this lady to invoke anything she tries to do to me. I don't talk to her so she doesn't know anything about my personal life. When she tries to talk, I am polite and listen and do not agree or put myself in any situation where she can go back and say...well she said.....What makes it worse, when no one is listening, she will tell me how good of a job I am doing and that I am keeping her on track with her own work! So why she's so against me, I do not know.

I haven't tried praying for her. Maybe I should do that. I just wish she let go of whatever it is she has against me and leave me ALONE!

I wish I had more time to write like I used to. I wish I had more time to do so many other things like I used to.....I wish...I wish....I wish......

Until next time......
