New Job?

Well, last night was a bit of a bummer, my workmate's car battery was flat and she asked me if I can use my spanking new baby to charge it. In the process, she broke the cover for my battery. Not an issue but I think they put it there for a reason!

So I told her and got the usual, "it looks OK, can we get the part from the cheapest place!" If I wanted a second hand part, I would have bought a second hand car!

Well what do you know, a colleague of mine left the office for a couple of hours of their private business, but they didn't have to sign in the book! I wonder why I have to sign it then? Are they monitoring me, or am I just being paranoid?

I've decided that the only way to progress is to leave and find myself something else! It was a really hard decision with everyone advising me not to go down that road, but I feel that I will never grow here. A couple of weeks ago, a colleague was made part of our team to "help" when I needed it. Well, the problem is everyone knew that he was going to become part of the team except me, who was to work with him. And to top it off, The Team Leader, takes him for a drink! I suppose that I am the wrong gender for that. No one took me for a drink when I joined!

So, there is really no point in hanging around here. I am a number and I will never get the respect and acknowledgement for the amount of work that I do! I don’t go drinking with the boys to the pub, I don’t think my other half will appreciate that!

And another thing, he mustn’t think that I’m going to train him. The only reason he got the gig is that he apparently knows how to do my job, because he has done it at his previous job. Well, this job is the same right across the industry! You don’t have to be taught it if you have done it before. The most you will need to learn how to do is invoice, which he knows!

I know that it sounds like I am sour grapes, but after all I've gone through, they could be a little more discrete if they didn't want me to know what they were up to!

FYI, greeted the receptionist, she ignored me again. She can’t keep ignoring me everytime I greet her. Well, she has been. The other one who made a complaint against me greets me. I politely greet back but I am still wary of her motives.

I’m still staying out of her way, not prepared to get bitten again. I’ve noticed that she doesn’t say anything to the Manager when I am around, but as soon as I leave my desk, she chats away with him like they are old buddies. Well maybe they are?
