April 27, 2008

I understand some of you think I should retire and I agree to some extent. I do like being at home but I do like my pocket change too. I don't have alot to do at home other than scrapbook and cooking and cleaning. The last 2 are just a bit overrated if you don't have kids around. I don't have the opportunity to play with grandkids every day as Wesley is in full time school and with his mom during the week. The other grandkids live 3 1/2 hours away. So, therefore I like to work to keep busy and it gives me spending money in case I want to go shopping or travel.
Having said all of that, I started a new job March 6, it is with a temp. company and at first I thought well I can do anything for 3 months and then I started liking the job and some of the people. They have been real good to me and are wanting me to stay. Unfortunately I have to work 10 inches from someone that is not very pleasant. I have had numerous problems with her and last Wednesday was a nightmare. I talked with my supervisor who gave me no suggestions whatsoever. He did say she is retiring at the end of the year and they would like me to stay but not sure I can put up with 8 months of this person. I asked to go part time and he said no. So, this tells me that this company is not flexible and does not want to work things out. Apparently, I am the 4th or 5th receptionist they have hired to work with her. So, I think I will quit in June. We have a family reunion in South Dakota at the end of June and I have told them I have already made reservations for this. I told them when they interviewed me that I had this planned. I think that is when I will make my exit.
Any feedback will be appreciated. Life is just too short to be miserable in a job.
