When we went to Capri, we wound up trekking up the steps of the mountain to get to the top, where the center of town was. My sixty eight year old dad was striding no problem while Rob and I felt on the verge of death. So, yesterday I started working out. When it got to feel like I was too exhausted and wanted to stop, I kept the image of the mountain in my head. It's proven to be a motivating thing.
If I hated my job before, I really hate it now. After being gone for over a week, I didn't want to deal with it. The hysterical people who wouldn't even let you help them; the people with legitimate complaints that you wish you could help but the company is too shitty; and of course all the internal bullshit. I'm at the point where it's all I can do, when a customer says "I'm going to refinance and advise all my friends to never get a loan with you guys" to *not* reply "Yeah, well I tell everyone I know to stay the hell away from us."
To make matters worse, they're being difficult about my school schedule. When I first started, I thought that they'd be more flexible than they are. So I tried to find a way to fit all my hours in with the limitations, and now they aren't even approving them yet. They seem to expect that you'll just work your school schedule around them. They don't seem to understand that you can't always work it that way, you need certain classes and you have to take them when offered. They also don't seem to understand that you're going to school for a reason and aren't about to sacrifice that for a part time job that you only have to work your way through school anyhow.
They've also gotten a bit ludicrous about vacation time for part time people. Once again, you get screwed at this company for being part time. Their new policy is ludicrous, and while I don't take vacations a lot, I often go away for the weekend. Since I have to work until 9 PM every friday, if I want to go out of town, I generally need to get Friday off. Supposedly, we get screwed out of a lot of company perks due to being part time, but now they're making it so we have less flexibility, too.
Fuck this shit.
So I'm going to find a new job, and very soon. I'm not sure where-hopefully I can find something with greater flexibility than what I've got, but either way I don't care,I'm just sick of this...
