I feel like I've just been kicked in the stomach. Without getting into a long story about all the reasons I hate, dread, despise my job and almost all of the people at it, the one person I really like here just told me she put in her notice today. She keeps me sane here. Everyone else, ugh, I just don't have the words. But I just don't know where I'm going to get the motivation (what little bit I had left) from now. And not only is she just a good, likeable person, she helps me in my actual job more than I could even describe. We are already so short staffed here and I already feel overwhelmed everyday. I just can't imagine how much worse it's going to get now. I'm just posting here because telling someone how I feel usually makes me feel better.  But she is escaping, so I am happier for her than anyone else could be I think!

I'm on here all day!!! LOL Thank goodness this site isn't blocked. Everything else is!!

The people around me are evil corporate robots. You can have 'em!!!! LOL

I do try remind myself of that, especially with so many people out of work right now. And I have had a job before that was even worse than this one, so I try to remind myself of what that was like too! aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

honeybun, have you been looking for other jobs? it'd be awesome if you too could find something else!

also, pssst, if you want to get onto other sites, try using www.vtunnel.com - it keeps me online while living in a country where half the internet doesn't exist. :)

Im so sorry!  Maybe this will give you the motivation to look for another job though.  I cried at my job yesterday in front of my friend, 2 of my bosses and my general manager because they told me because we arent meeting our numbers that I have to move locations to a place I dont like.  Its only across the street but its a completely different environment and job all together.  I work with social/corporate markets now and there I will be doing convention services mainly.  Heres hoping I like it better than I think I will.

I've actually been thinking about going to nursing school...which is so never ever ever something I wanted to do. I majored in journalism, used to work in tv news and am now in marketing. But through lots of experiences at the hospital i work at, I'm really thinking I would like to do that now. And actually help people and do something important. Instead of stress myself to death over stupid sh*t like an ad in the paper or a billboard. ugh. Just seems impossible though!!!! Today's events are a good kick in the butt to motivate me though!

I know how you feel! Last year, I was in your shoes, but fortunately for me, I was the one turning in the notice! I was not in a happy place, and it was stressing me out/making me unhappy. Once I realized that my situation wasn't healthy, it gave me the motivation to look for my next endeavor...perhaps you can get some inspiration as well! Good luck...and keep your chin up! :)
