In My Mind’s Blog

3/23/07 marks my last workday at the stupid hell hole office.  I only gave my boss a 3-day notice hahaha (that was on 3/20).  Sounds cruel but in those 3 days I’ve been so exhausted trying to clear out stuff from my work area and closing up shop.  I’ve heard of people who only give a 2-minute notice before they start another job so I’m not that bad.  All I have to say is good riddens to FAS and CB!  I celebrated with friends by going out for drinks, sushi and ice cream at the end of the day.  It felt like paradise!

In retrospect, old hags like FAS and CB just want a workplace where they can retire from, so that’s why they’re sticking around and see which fools they can lure into their web so that they have someone else doing their jobs for them.  That’s usually the way offices run, there’s always a bitch who wants to be Queen Bee.

Anyway, I’m free at last!  Well, just for a week, but I’m sure going to savor the feeling until I start my new job in April. 

Also, I’d like to say that I feel so grateful that I felt so much support and encouragement from a lot of people today.  God made me feel so loved by bringing forth people that truly care about me and for that I feel very blessed.  I hear Happy Days are here again!  Yey!!!

Ok…I am so f’in excited!  I got a phone call from the place where I had the 2nd round of interviews and the guy said that my reference checks went well and that he is forwarding the paperwork to HR today.  I might get the formal job offer next Monday.  Wow!  I know it’s not finalized yet and I still need to do some negotiating.  But anyway, just wanted to share the news.  I might actually get out of this hell hole!   Spoke with CB today and she is just so negative…ofcourse, I’m scared of starting out in a new place but she has to tell me that it might not be a good thing to move because I won’t have the same flexibility and that’s just a scary thing to do.  Aaargh!  I’ve had enough of the negativity in this office.  I just found out the other day that FAS is making about $800/month more than me.  What the F?  If I leave, and I hope I do, I just wish that the whole College will see what a huge mistake they made by making FAS the fuckin analyst in our department because she is one useless, tub of lard. 

For the past 2 weeks I have been on interviews.  I just finished my second round interview today and when I left the meeting room I kinda felt sad walking back to my office.  Most of it is because of the realization that if I get the job, I have to start all over again.

FAS told me today that she bumped into Emma (the temp that took over my job when I was on maternity leave).  Apparently, Emma is looking for a permanent job because the temp pool benefits will be abolished, so she needs to find a permanent position soon.  Get this, FAS is so paranoid of me leaving that she told Emma to apply for my position as soon as it opens up.  FAS is already recruiting while I’m still working there (what a bitch).  Anyway, Emma asked FAS what does my job entail and ofcourse FAS had to explain that they had to add Faculty Searches on my job description.  Emma told her a resounding "NO WAY!" and that she hates Faculty Searches.  hahahahahaha  I don’t know why FAS thinks that it’s such an easy job.  If she thinks it’s so easy then she should just take it back and shove it up her tubby butthole.

Half Assed got an offer from another department but she’s also thinking that she might not want to take it because it’s too much work.  She’s convincing me that if the departments that I interviewed with offers me the position that I should take it right away.  She told me today, as a friend, she thinks I’m being overworked and under appreciated.  Sounds caring right?  But I could kinda sense some sneakiness hidden in her sentiments.  She wants me to go so that she can take over my position.  I mean if I go, it just seems logical for her to replace me.  Actually, I really don’t care what happens when I leave the hellhole office.  They can create new titles for themselves if they want to.  I don’t give a rat’s ass!
