Week #1

The first week at my new job has been great. Everyone there is incredibly nice and laid back. I’ve learned a lot & the Directors I work for have been wonderful too. This job is completely different than the last..NO SALES!! I couldn’t be happier. Now I’m doing research, event planning, grant writing (learning) and administrative work. I’ve also been told that I can add to my responsibilities as well – such as taking over membership.

The girl I’m replacing…well, that’s a different story. She’s a temp. She’s been there MAYBE 6 weeks..and she WONT LEAVE!!! She wants to work all through next week as well. She kinda half-ass trains me and then asks other people, “do you have something for her to do? I have phone calls to make.” No, you are missing the point…I’m taking YOUR place and YOU need to wrap the shit up and get out. I was talking to one coworker about membership, and well, we’ll call her Nellie. Nellie walks up wanting to know what we’re talking about..the coworker says, “well, you’re leaving, so I’m letting her know about membership.” What does Nellie say? “I’m not gone YET, so tell me too!” OMG…GO AWAY!!

All week long, Nellie has been telling me about everything she’s ever accomplished in life. How much money she’s made and how many businesses she’s started and sold. Ok, so that’s why you’re now an administrative temp making $9 a hour and driving a Taurus?? I don’t give 2 shits about her degree in Russian or how she wants to be a CIA agent…I just want her out. I don’t think I’ve met a more negative, closed-minded individual. She knows everything about everything..just ask her. We argue about stupid shit –like why the fridge in the kitchen doesn’t work. “It’s old” is her answer..I ask, “have the coils been cleaned?” “It’s just old, we need a new one.” WE?? NO…NOT YOU…so, yesterday we had a maintenance guy come out and look at it…does it work now? Yes..hmm..guess we didn’t need a new one after all.
