I didn't ask for this

The same person who was bout to get popped last week was bout to get popped yesterday...by me!

I did some work that ended up on her desk.
She told me I was wrong.
I explained to that person why I was right.
She went higher on the food chain with 1/2 the story.
She came back and told me the higher up said I was wrong.
I went to that same higher up with the whole story.
The higher changed views.
I let that person know that what I did was okay.
She went even higher on the food chain.
Came back to tell me I was wrong.

Now I don't like being wrong, but if I am I can accept it, change the mistake and keep it moving. But when I am right and I know I am right I will put some work into it. I could take it to the BIG dog, but it really not all that serious. I think the problem lies in that she wanted my position. The position that I didn't ask for, the position I did not have no interest in, the position that one of the BIG dogs called me personally and asked me to apply for. Yeah she wanted and applied for it so she could change all the rules around. I have changed some minor things, but our system works fine...if it ain't broke don't fix it right? Anyways it just really bothered me that she is trying to put me out there with the upper food chain as being wrong, especially if I am right. So after she came in my office to tell me I was wrong again. I just threw up my hands and said whatever. That "f it" mode kicked in and I am glad it did. I mean how you gonna come to me the first time and be like well so and so said your wrong, then I go to that same so and so with the whole deal, they change their say and bring it back to you and now that so and so's say isn't enough so you go higher....over some PETTY STUFF????? I mean in small matters like this I am the one who supposed to have the last say title wise (I don't try to push my title down no one's throat) so what's up?

Then after that we got a new person in. As one of the supervisors was giving the new person the tour and meeting the staff they got to me. His intro of me was.....

"And here's ladynay, our lead such and such retired a few months ago and she's who we got to take her place"

WTbleep? Why couldn't you just say "And here's ladynay, our lead such and such" and move on? I didn't ask for this, but now that I got it, can someone respect my gansta? Sheesh!

I was looking for other employment opportunities yesterday evening. I need to because of the events of today, my job burnout (I like my coworkers and my job is easy, but it's so monotonous) and because I need to start working in a medical environment to start up the experience side of my chosen career path. I was reviewing the application for the graduate school I want to attend and I have to have a letter of recommendation from an active physical therapist whose worked with me! Ugh! There is no way without lying that I can get that working where I do! I think most of the staff knows once I get my degree I am bouncing. Most of the staff don't know that about the other coworkers that are in school. They get to kept it on the low cuz they can get their degrees at night. Lucky punks! With my degree I have to take morning classes, which means taking time off work, which means I have to tell my higher ups what is going on. What they don't know is that I just may bounce before I get my degree! There is a job opening for an intake specialist at one of the local hospitals that works basically second shift. I was so tempted to apply for it but I don't have anyone to watch Pooka in the evenings. I don't want to be an intake specialist, but it would allow me to be in a setting where I could start networking and perhaps befriend a physical therapist that could I dunno...write up a letter of recommendation maybe?

That's the hard part about having kids...You have opportunites that arise but you have to think of them before you can make any decisons. I hope things work out for the best...

Luvin, yep we have to take more into consideration as parents. I am sure the perfect opportunity will present itself to me, hopefully soon *fingers crossed*.

That intake specialist opening is cool because it would allow me to be a full time student again, but the downside is I'd hardly spend anytime with my kid and that's a big NO NO!

Things always work out for the best even if it works out in a different way than I planned it to...

You should've let your pimp hand do the talking upside your co-workers head, then ripped off shirt, taken some pictures, and e-mailed them to me. We all would've been happy. Well except for the chick that got the smackdown but who really cares about her, LOL.

So is the main problem not having anyone to babysit or not being able to spend time with your daughter because of school? If there isn't a way around this problem then I'm sure something else will come up for you.

Ladynay said...

What would we do without freaky and his freakyness? LOL

They are both big issues to me, but the main one is having no one that I trust to watch her. I have girlfriends that would watch her and I trust trust them, but to ask them to do it on the daily is too much yah dig?

I have been toggling this back and forth and back and forth. I kinda want to stay on the job till I am vested (1 1/2 years left), but I need to start building experience in my career from entry level which takes time.

I am sure something will present itself in the future. Maybe something like her dad getting situated enough to where he could do his thing while I am in graduate school. That would be perfect!

Ms.Honey said...

Girl you got a lot going on in that brain of yours....I def feel ya on making things happen

I'm mad she was being petty like that though....I mean is it really all that serious and if it's just a matter of fixing something...how about you make it right and tell me about it later...freakin kids

I hope things work out..then again I know they will

Ladynay said...

Honey, it's not an easy thing trying to get your future together. I know where I wanna be and what I need to do to get there, it's just getting these steps off!

She is driving everyone nutz, but I am over wanting to pluck her in the eyeball now... :-P

Freaky Deaky said...

Pluck her eyeball out, that's hardcore and kind of hot too, lol.

Well, I hope it presents itself for you sooner then later. I'll keep my toes crossed (unless I'm wearing shoes).

Ladynay said...

Okay, I know my blog be all over the place and I may spel sumtin rong or even not type word two in my sentences cuz I type out of my head for the most part...

But I didn't say I wanted to pluck her eye out! I wanted to pluck her in the eye, which hurts and is annoying, but doesn't need emergency room attention! LOL

The fact you find someone getting their eye poked out "hot" makes me wonder about you babe! ROFL

I hate folks who tell half the story so that they'll look right. You always have to watch your backs around folks like that. I hope there's some way you can make the intake specialist gig work...but yeah Pooka does come first..:-)
