Ok.. so I took my kitty posts off my personal blog so I could not overwhelm that with kitty stories, and then I found I was running out of personal stuff to blog about. Now I do it so rarely that it seems pointless to keep it up. But now Im in a quandry about life, that I felt I needed to 'vent' if you will, some place that has visitors and can tell me if Im being silly.
Ok. So as you gentle readers know I was let go from working at the vet this past Jan. In April I got a job with a furniture company. The company is insane. (no really.. it is) but my new boss is really nice and very sweet, and she has been very good to me considering the rotating schedual and the hours she needs staffing. HOWEVER.. I recently asked if I could use a floating holiday (I get four) so I could get the day after Thanksgiving off. She said that if I didn't work the day before and after I wouldn't get paid. I didn't push it. The schedual just came out for November (can you believe it?!?!) and she gave one of the other girls in the office the day before AND the day after off. She gave the other girl the day before it off. Now I had asked for it, and I have to work the day before AND the day after!! We had also been getting friendly, so I invited her out for a day of shopping, suggesting if she gave us both the same day off we could go. She said it was a good idea, but looking at the schedual, I don't see that happening. Now maybe she forgot, but I don't know. Im just feeling cut out from everything at work, under appreciated, and stuck working some pretty lousy hours.
Now I was so frustrated with the company (did I mention they are insane) that I sent out a resume to another vet in town. I have an interview on Tuesday. Its way less hours, .. yes way less, and way less money - like four dollars an hour less - and there is no promise that this boss isn't going to be insane either (from what Ive heard a lot of vets are) and I would have to work EVERY saturday. I don't like the idea of the hours, or the pay cut, but the subsidised health care for the fur kids (if she does that) is important, and getting away from the current insane company, and working with animals again are all on the plus side. Then again, if I can just hold out till May, I SHOULD be able to go and work for Dr. Brion, but that isn't set in stone either. I could hold out and he might realize he doesn't have the resources for a while longer. I could switch jobs now and then quit in may - like that would look good on a resume, but then again with any luck I'll be with brion till forever ends..
arrrrgh.
I haven't even been offered a job and I don't know what to do.
