I have not really had the opportunity to air my views, but today is really, I could not have not logged on to do so!
I have had my Senior Colleague checking everything I do! I mean everything. He comments when I have 2 spaces in between words and is actually checking the amount of work I do. He makes as if I have nothing to do. I don't know if he is just in a mood and something outside work is bothering him, or the big mistakes that he has made in the last few days have finally caught up with him and if he makes another mistake, his head will be on the block. Yesterday, I even said to him, "Would you like me to walk out and walk back in and maybe we can start the day afresh!". He was swearing, f'ing and blinding, I even had to remind him where he was. He did however apologise, but I know he didn't mean it!
He then asked me to do a quote yesterday which I did, and he asked someone else to convert the quote into a sale, without telling me why. The lady who asked for the quote knows me well so she always asks for me. But this time, she didn't ask for me, she asked for the guy who was converting the quote into a sale, so someone told her to contact him because she wouldn't know that is what he does. So I do all the hard work and someone else takes the glory for it, nice!
It's starting to get really difficult to ignore all the things that are going on in the office that seem to be about me. I have just found out that in my team, I am the only person that has not been invited into the lottery syndicate. I didn't know whether I had to ask to be invited into it, but I do know for a fact that 2 people were invited.
I also laughed when I realised that someone that has just finished their probation, has sided with the Receptionist and went to lunch with them today. Well, I can't complain, I cannot force anyone to hang around with anyone. This same person, and the Complaint girl have started to dress like me, sleeveless jersey over a plain coloured top. Well, at least I have become a fashion icon!
This afternoon, the person who sits next to me in the office left the office early after working in his lunch hour, and guess what? He didn't have to make a record of it in the office diary, but I do!
I had asked for the company to do my examinations which they have told me they will not pay for the extra course material that I require, so I have decided to do the course with my own money! At least they had the decency to email me and confirm this, although they only did after I requested they do!
And last but not least, they have removed my access to my Senior Colleague's email. They have not given me a reason why, but have taken it away. To me it seems that they are reducing my responsibilities slowly but surely. I think I should start making a record of the work I do everyday so they cannot try and get rid of me by saying there is no work.
Anyway, I am still looking for another job and I really have decided that no matter what, I will not be here come May!
If you have been reading my blog, you might be able to comment on this! As you know I complained about some abuse towards me. HR subsequently came in and tried to deal with the matter. They didn't and the abuse got worse as it now mutated into something else and someone else got involved. HR did not protect me. Don't they have a case to answer?
I was then accused of disrupting someone's working day which HR proved to be incorrect. My working day was disrupted by this meeting, which was officially called by the person who made the complaint, can I make a complaint?
Any comments will be most welcome!

Friday, Thank Goodness It's Friday!
Friday could not go fast enough. The usual happened, the guys went out to lunch for 1 1/2 hours and no one said anything about it, strange that I did it once and got pulled up. The week has really flew bye and I could not believe that it was Friday when I woke up!
The weather is really playing tricks on everyone, you don't know if it is going to be cold, hot, raining? Everyone is blaming the amount of Carbon Dioxide that we put into the atmosphere. I really do think that the leaders of the world have all stood at the sidelines and watched from a distance. No leader is going to be popular if there force legislation that will reduce the amount of pollution that any industry produces. So who do they tax to death, you and I! I suppose it's my fault that I drive a petrol engine car, that produces more Carbon Dioxide in one journey then a human does in a day! Not the manufacturer, never, they are the angels, and are providing choice! But it's easy to hammer the taxpayer, they don't have expensive lawyers like the petrol companies do! In a couple of years, the tax will be scrapped because a judge will deem it to be unfair, then they will call it the renewal of the environment tax. Nothing about how the government is fighting a war that most of the country don't agree with?
The people who print money have spent more money than they can print? I'm definitely in the wrong business! You just try going overdrawn by £1 and see what happens! You see, I think the government have a cunning idea to use God's model of believing! You don't have to see me to believe in me. So, I nee £10 billion, just write a cheque and we can sort it out later, once we collect the money from the green taxes! I can see why plastic has become so important to banks! They can lend you money that you can't see, and charge you interest on it. Credit Card, the best way to disable a person's freedom. We will give you more than you can handle, then tell you to pay it regardless of whether or not you can afford to!
Anyway, I do moan a lot don't I? well that's why you should listen! You will learn how not to be an upstanding member of society because it benefits no one!
I recently asked HR to pay for some examinations that I want to write. They have told me to look at the examinations and choose which ones I want to do. I gave them the name of the examinations, which is the next step from the exam I last took. They have now got back to me and told me that they will pay only for the bare minimum. I asked for some support material, which I found very useful when I did my last exam, and was probably 40% of the reason that I passed so easily. But they have insisted that they will not be paying for it, and if I want to get the other bits and pieces, I should request it in writing to the HR Manager, who is the same person who has been handling my HR meetings. FYI, the total cost of the exam with the extra material I would have liked, is around £100 more than without. For their £100 I have access to a dedicated tutor who will improve my weaknesses and help me prepare for the examination. I also get study guides that cover all the possible questions in the examination. Not only that, if I fail, I will automatically have the option to re-sit the examination without any extra cost.
I have decided that I will just pay for the examination myself, it is really not worth my while getting them to pay for something that reduces my chances of success.
