Saturday in January

January 12th, 2008 at 11:14 pm

Pretty boring week for me! Lots at work I can’t talk about but the situation is getting interesting.

I decided to take 750 out of savings and put toward a credit card. I wish I was brave enough to take more out but with a possible freeze on hiring at the state and maybe trying to leave my job for another one I think I want a little more in savings but if I could get rid of one more card by February I would be very happy.

Got a job interview for Friday with a new department! Not really interested in the job but of course I will do my best on the interview.

I love my current job and duties and have proven myself for three years that I really don’t want to start again. I have my eye on another department where some colleagues have gone (senior managers) who really know me, my skills, and my background and truly believe in the job I can do for them. Hopefully something will come up for this department in a couple weeks. It is really where I want to be and my professional goals lead me there.

Even if the man causing the problems leaves I think I will have to as well because the senior management of the office is upset about the situation and are not happy with me for bringing it up. Ok, let’s review the facts: the man is a two faced employee, shows one face to management and one face to those under him, he uses in appropriate language, has called the office chief a b***H in a meeting with our team, has touched me (and others but I am not sure how many) inappropriately, has lied to managers who are his equals and colleagues about courting their employees to come and work for him leaving the other managers with staffing whole, asked me to mentor a former employee who he later called a “hot, young, hottie who rides a motorcycle.” And I am the problem you have a problem with? If only they knew what he calls them behind their backs when talking those he supervises.

I'm very proud of myself for a personal goal I have managed to keep for 12 days. Might seem crazy to some but I made a goal that I reset with myself each day not to eat any fast food. I had fallen into a habit to get fast food 4-5 times a week. How unhealthy can I be? (at least my cholesterol and triglycerides are still below 150!) I am amazed at the amount of money have saved by not eating fast food. I have still eaten out but not any chain fast foods. I also have told myself I can eat anything I want for dinner or other meals as long as I don’t eat fast food. (So I had fat free turkey dogs for three dinners this week, bad?)

I am trying to figure out why it is so much easier for me to grab fast food. Is it because the last year I a frustrated with work stuff? Tired? Not interested in taking care of myself and why am I not interested in taking care of myself? Lots to explore this year!

I did sign up for conversational mandarin, two swimming classes, and a voice class. Six units in school all things I want to study. How nice for a semester! I think the swimming classes will help with the stress thing and help me sleep. I hope to get back into the gym state of mind and getting to sleep earlier will help with that.

    I was in a similar situation with a supervisor were I worked for 20+ years. Finally, it all came to light after some cameras were installed. But then, I had married and moved. But, I did make it a point to tell the new director who I had complained to before about it all-he was just a manager at that time when I next saw him that I thought they owed several of us an apology for basically telling us some of it never happened. He just looked at me. The supervisor in question is doing jail time for selling drugs (on company property.)
