IRD/Picnic

[Guest guest]

I seem to say this every year. I want to go to IRD! I am going to go to IRD!

Then I seem to say this every year. I can't go to IRD because I want to find a

new job! LOL! Well....I don't think I'll be able to make IRD this year because

of that very fact. I know how hard it is, from experience, to get time off on a

NEW job so I am doing my best to hold out on the job hunting until after SRD in

April and my trip to New York in May but I don't think I can hold off past July

for IRD. I love my job, don't get me wrong, and I love the 7 on/7 off schedule.

I love EVERYTHING about my job other than the boredom. I would say 5 hours out

of my 10 hour day is doing NOTHING. So I check e-mail all day, as you know, and

that cuts down on the boredom. Well.....I can't do that any more since someone

caught me and tattled like a little baby so I am back stuck with boredom. About

the only thing I can do is read. Who wants to read for 5 hours? No I said the

fly. I bring my DVD player and watch movies but I am sure they wouldn't like

that if they found out. It's so frustrating to have such a boring job and it's

sad when an employee asks for more to do and he gets told to do OTHER people's

jobs to pass the time. I worked in QA for 4 years. I am tired of it. THAT'S why

I went to Bed Board. And then BED BORED becomes boring so what do they ask me to

do? QA! ! ! Ugh! Anyway.....after I got caught checking e-mail I asked my boss

for more to do. She is teaching me to verify insurance and do collections this

week so I won't be as bored. While I'm happy I won't be as bored I'm still

frustrated that, once again, I have to do others job to pass the time. Who am I

hurting by checking my e-mail on my downtime? I'm the fastest person in Bed

Board and everyone likes me! My boss even got a letter from the head of Labor

and Delivery about how good I am!! If it ain't broke don't fix it right? And, by

the way, don't think I won't check my TOPS e-mail on my work address now! LOL!

It's just not the same. Anyway....thanks for letting me vent. I just wanted to

say IRD isn't going to happen this year because I want out of Houston Northwest.

I want to find something in the medical center that's closer to my home anyways.

What are the dates for the picnic? While I'm scared to fly I might just take the

train! LOL! You never know. Rhode Island sounds like something I would like to

try. Does the train go there? LOL!

Thanks for listening. Have a great week. Back to the laundry! BLAH!

KOPS LOVE,

Have a safe, happy, and healthy new year!
