| Crazier than I Thought! |
| 03.13.07 (5:03 pm) [edit] |
| We'll see how quickly I get through this post as I'm at the library shifting between reading emails and typing... Went back to work yesterday for a 1/2 day. I was dying - shoulder/neck spasming like crazy. Even crazier was that I WANTED to go back. I was going nuts at home. I go back to 876 emails. (No exaggeration.) I start deleting as many as I can that are irrelevant. Reading the crap that I was cc'd on. My boss comes in around 11am - I sent an email to him around 9am advising that I'd be doing a 1/2 day and my Physical Therapy schedule this week. He comes in and is rather...um, shall we say distant? My Diva sense told me something was up. There was a flurry of emails about an account I inherited that was f'd up before I got it. Before the car accident, I had sent the client an email advising her that we'd have to reschedule some events because they hadn't paid us for previous stuff. (My boss had screwed things up earlier.) Apparently the client didn't read that part of the email and problems ensued. He IM's me (with the door to his office shut) to come in to catch up. I go in, to be blindsided that it was a meeting with him and the president of the company. (I was right.) He tells me that he's glad I'm okay from the accident and we needed to clear up some "communication issues". (Fortunately I had taken some Flexaril shortly beforehand so I was mello as Jello.) I was blamed for not calling him while I was in the ER to tell him I was going to be out that day. (Seriously.) A text message was sent to him the morning after the car accident from the ER saying I was hurt and wouldn't be in (at 7am). I called when I got out of the ER (doped up on a Demerol shot) at 4:30 pm. I called him and got his vm. Left a message and talked to another coworker. She said he didn't get the text. Then I was blamed for not staying in communication with the office. (Um, I was doped up and throwing up and sleeping the majority of the time I was out. I left him detailed instructions about following up on things with him.) I called several times during the two weeks I was out and left numerous vm's updating him and asking him to follow up on things as well as times that were best to reach me b/w dr appts, etc. Did he call me once? Nope. I changed my cell phone number in early November. I gave it to him. Dumbass that he is, he didn't recall that. He said he tried to call me many times and got a number of 'strange people'. He was calling my old number. Now, the office has a major big-brother phone system that can pull up any conversation you've had in six months and listen to it. Including phone numbers. Did he bother to be intelligent enough to look? Nope. Then they show me my resume on Monster.com. Yes, it's been updated. They said I was apparently well enough to be doing my resuming and posting it online. (I had supplied the HR chick with the dr's note already.) They said I should tell them if I was planning on looking for another job. (I was laughing hysterically on the inside. This state is a "right to work state" meaning they can fire my ass whenever they want without any notice or severance. Like I would give them that courtesy? Maybe if they weren't such asses...) The president asked me why I was looking for another job. I told her that I had updated my resume because I had no idea what was going on at the company - I'm in a sales position and it's mid-March and we've yet to receive our compensation plan - or a commission check. Keep getting a song and dance about how it will completed "tomorrow" - and this has been going on since DECEMBER! I told her that I'm in sales. I'm motivated by money. I couldn't continue to lollygag around waiting to find out how my finances were going to evolve. She said that was 'irrelevant'. I replied to her that my mortgage company would disagree. Then they gave me a two page written notice detailing ridiculous stuff and told me I had to sign it. I am being warned... I provided the president with a printout from my cell phone provider detailing the 8 minute conversation where my boss called me on my new cell phone number in November. (Proving I gave it to him.) I also provided proof about the account that they said I never emailed showing I sent it. And I called in sick this morning. I wholly expect to be fired this week. Do I care? Uh, no. They were paying me about equal to what I'd make on unemployment. *Although I'm already getting job nibbles. Have a nice day. |

I'm working on it. ;) In the interim, I'm surfing the web and trying to look busy. (Granted, I'm too doped up most of the time to actually focus anyway.)
