I love this thread.
Thanks:cool:.
Tonight I just wanted to scream:
"Hello... am I in the twilight zone here?!":mad:.
UGH!!!
Oh, btw... just stepped outside to see if there was a full moon... almost:rolleyes:.
I love one of my jobs, which is a circuit trainer for CURVES, but my other job causes some stress, but I still wouldn't want to be without it.
ARRRGGGHHHH! AIIIEEEEEEEE!! I am so there today! I'm afraid to take my blood pressure, 'cause I know it's way over the top. I'm a manager of a large team of Project Managers and I have one %^&#$* person on my staff that is driving me crazy!! This person argues with me on every single thing, even stupid things and wastes so much of my time with stupid complaining and whining that she doesn't get her work done.
That's IT!! Tomorrow, she gets put on "The Plan"... get it straight or get out! I am so done with you. :mad::mad::mad:
crazycanuck,
I feel your pain.
I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job
I need to learn deep stillness of the soul, universal patience, and equanimity in the face of the, "No, I haven't had time to do any of my exercises, I have a real life you know; and I'm telling you this physical therapy crap isn't doing a lick of good because I'm still just as miserable as I was last week!"
Deep cleansing breath...
I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job
Thought so. I can tell by my callers and managers. Both get a little crazy.Quote:

I AM on vacation. I spent two hours in my classroom today rearranging furniture. That's in addition to the many hours I've spent on curriculum.
Actually, I don't mind. Because now I can poke at the stuff I need to do on my time frame.
It's really hard fitting 32 desks into a classroom designed for 30 and finding space to be able to pull students up for group discussion.
Right now, I do love my job.
When little Edgar's dad is asking me why Edgar isn't doing his homework... I'll say something different. :rolleyes:

Replace "kids" with "attorneys" and that's where I am.... :rolleyes::pQuote:

I could say I hate it at the moment. I sat on my azz for 6 hours yesterday and I am only half way done. What is it with these people who say they can write a 10-15 page paper, APA style the night before it is due? I consider myself to be a good writer and fast reader, but, geez. It's interesting, though.
Who knows what this year's internship will bring? More interesting people to work with. The clients are fine, it's the co-workers who always get to me, as they did when I was teaching. I have learned to smile a lot and grit my teeth; I have found that therapists are ah, always so "nice" that it is hard to gauge what my co-workers are thinking. I tend to be more direct, in a business like way. It worked with 12 year olds...
Veronica, I always loved going to my classroom in the summer, arranging things and getting ready at my own pace. It reminded me why I was teaching in the first place.
Me three!!
One of my co-workers had 10 weeks to do something, admitted to me several times that she couldn't figure out how to do it, then it got re-assigned to me. I finished it in under two days. (Mostly it consisted of copying something that was already done and making a few edits. I told my co-worker that 10 weeks ago.)
I went on vacation for a week and no one did any of my work for me. I did get an email from my boss at 8 pm the last night of my vacation saying welcome back, now make sure you finish all the stuff assigned to you right away. (I was still in the car sitting in traffic on my way home from vacation when she sent it.)
Now the co-worker is on vacation this week and two things that are assigned to her have been re-assigned to me to do in her absence. I know she was working on them last week but she left me no notes on what she's done so I have to start from scratch. I have been told I have to give a status update in 45 minutes.
The status update I would like to give is unprintable.
I wonder what they'll say when I walk out the door for the last time on friday? :rolleyes: I've inherited messes, and I'm leaving one or two behind myself. Try as I might, some projects just aren't wrapped up neatly. My replacement has been hired but isn't on site yet either.
Next week, I'm on vacation time, on my new office's payroll. Yippee! So even though I'm in town, I can't be pulled in to work (at the office). :)
My boss is 70+ and still working because she "loves it." Though I've yet to experience any sign of love on her grumpy face. If I'm over 70 and still packing my lunch every day and schlepping to the office, kindly put me out of my misery.
