I haven't writen for, like a week, I think. It feels a lot longer. Feel a little guilty too, but then I think, why? Weird..
My job is going okay. Got my first pay check and was like WOW!! Great money. But it comes at a price I have found out. Shift work is crap!! My sleep patterns are all screwed up now. Early shifts I get up at 5 or 5.30 (stupid o'clock) and I'm so tired at work coz I got up too early. Then late shift I sleep in, veg out around the house til I go to work, and then I'm tired coz I've been doing nothing all morning and that takes it out of me too. (Does that make any sense? you know, when you do nothing and then you're tired coz you've done nothing..) Then when I get home, I have to eat, shower, and wind down after work and then its like 2 in the morning before I go to bed. BAD!!!!!
Anyway. I now know what it is like to work in an all female environment. And the stories are true!! I've noticed all the little groups and each one bitches about the others and theres snobbiness, crankiness, bitchiness... the list goes on! I haven't been 'inducted' into a group yet, and I kinda like it that way. Everyone is still nice to me coz I'm 'the new girl'. And they can't start with the bitchiness yet coz I might leave. And they are so short staffed, its not funny!!
I miss my boys from my old work!! (Not including the boss - still hate him) They were all so cool and treated me like one of the boys and also like a little sister... Still run into them every now and then. Well, they are couriers!! I know their runs like the back of my hand!!
I found out that they replaced me with a guy. If he is anything like the boss, he won't get anything done (no offense to you males out there). And I can see that in about a month or so, they will decide to put him on a run and then no more office chick... well in this case, dude.
I'm rambling aren't I? I keep telling myself that I don't care about my old work, but I was there for 4 & 1/2 years and it was my first full time job. They gave big send offs to everyone else when they left, except for the ones the boss didn't like. And I got nothing. Not even one farewell drink on my last day, which was a friday and fridays we always had drinkies, just to celebrate the end of the week. Nothing. Zip. For me. I feel like I wasted nearly five years of my life and got nothing out of it. I didn't get a reference or anything.
Anyway, stopping there. Don't care.....
On a different note, I have noticed I use exclamation marks way too much these days. Kinda annoys me. But I can't stop it! All you poor reader out there, does it annoy you to, or did you only notice when I mentioned it.... :-)
