I just need to vent for a moment and I feel guilty about it after reading about everyone else's lives lately but I don't have anyone else to let it out to right now.
I have had one of "those" days where it seems like nothing is going in your favor. Its actually been going on for a few months but man today just riled me up.
I woke up and was getting ready for work this morning and trying to be on time for once (I am normally fashionably late) because we had a semi-big meeting this afternoon with everyone from the partner down coming in. So I am about to walk out the door at 8:45am when I get a phone call from my gym. Before picking up I knew what it was about. Yet again this month I am past due on my bill. Why you may ask?? Because it has being going on since JULY!! I have given them 2 voided checks to start auto draft, spoke directly to people 7 times before today to resolve this issue, gone into the gym to get my exact billing date to monitor my account with my bank (I have only been sucessfully drafted 1 time since May and that was Aug 1st) and have brought in a blank check to pay for this month before my payment "bounced". Basically someone at the place cannot type my routing number and bank account number properly into the system and SAVE it so that this will not keep happening and as long as they are attempting to debit my account (which is not the right account number and thus bounces) I cannot write a check and pay them. So basically I get called this morning and the girl cops an attitude asking "If I plan to come in and pay my bill anytime soon since this has been going on since July" after I say yes I'm aware of the issue and give a nice explanation of what is going on and who's helping to resolve it. So needless to say I basically had it out with her after the attitude and was late to work :mad:
So get to work all is ok and I"m only 15 minutes late and no important people are there. I calm down and make it to the meeting. Basically my company is internally restructuring and we now have 3 HR types assigned to us who are parading around client sites having lunch and "talking" with us. Basically trying to show interest and pretend to care. So I am told to go meet with the main one and be open about my feelings, concerns, etc about the client, team, and company/firm as a whole. Well man was that a mistake. Talk about turning my words around on me. By the time she was done I was being called not only a frustrated/disgruntled worker (not at all uncommon for everyone in the firm because of the poor way they handled bonuses and raises this year) but also bitter with a bad working attitude and will probably quit any day now because I was slightly upset about the idea of being yanked from my team and being placed on another one due to other disgruntled people wanting to move teams but I am happy and don't want to screw up my development over someone else being unhappy (which was communicated and twisted around on me).
I was so ticked that I actually cried. I never ever cry at work and rarely cry at home but it just was so frustrating because now I can't even feel open to going to her if I did have an issue or concern. Luckily my senior manager heard about this meeting and did call me into his office and told me I do not have to worry as I have a secured place on the team per him and the partner and i will be leading the team next year (from a staff and below aspect). I just hate when people twist things around on me and make me look like the evil one.
Oh and right after this I got on my company's instant messanger program and a friend that has become a "user friend" starts messanging me. Normally the only time Mike or I hear from him is because he needs someone to vent to or needs something from us. Well since he caught me right after this meeting he made 2 mistakes 1) messanging me in the first place and 2) asking how I was doing. Well for once I made him actually listen to how I was doing and it felt nice to have it be about me and not him as I didn't let him get that far.
So that's been my day. I did get to go and get my highlights done tonight so that was one bright point of my day. Luckily nothing else bad has happened but since the day's not completely over and Mike is not home there is no telling what may come.
Thank you for letting me type all this out.
