The job search begins (again)...
Warning, major ranting and venting below:
At this point, I can't take my job anymore. I felt like I was coming down with something last week and by Friday it had pretty much kicked in. So, Friday morning I told my boss that I would most likely leave early since I was feeling like shit, but it was not to be. Our rep from Lexmark showed up and what should have been a 3 hour meeting, lasted all day. Needless to say, I was pretty ripshit. He goes on to show me all this software that I need to learn, which was a wasted effort, because when you're sick, you can't concetrate on anything.
Monday, I'm feeling even worse, so I decide not to go in to work. Plus, I needed a kind of day off to de-stress. This morning, I get bitched at for not calling in, which I didn't do because I couldnt find my boss's number anywhere. I'm only a temp, so should I really give two shits about this?
My rep from the temp agency called me this morning because I hadn't had a chance to submit my timecard. He wanted to know how things were going....and I let him know. He seemed kind of worried about this, which in a weird way, made me feel a little better. I asked for more money and he was going to try and get me that too. As much as I'm against temp agencies, this one has not played games or tried to screw me over. I'm still going to look for something that makes me happy in the meantime. I wish it were easier to find jobs at startups...sigh.
I have an idea for a podcast/videocast. I'm working on building a site for it, and then take it from there. Hopefully it will take off and I can just work from home or something for a while.
On to happier things... 3 things that make me happy:
That moment when Michelle comes through the door after work (makes me smile!)
Dark Chocolate Raisinettes (the best food ever!)
Cupids Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes (Fun and catchy!)
