I am extremely close to just calling it quits at the hospital. I was answering the phones, because they were ringing and I was helping an coworker out, because I was sitting doing nothing. There was no other work for me POSSIBLY to do, so I opened my phone to help incoming calls.
One of my coworkers(the one who is giving me the greatest amount of stress at work today(and who, though I have two years seniority over her at the hospital views me as a ‘rude little boy’(though I’ve also got a good 70 pounds on her at least)) got mad and walked over to where I was and put my phone on the position to where it wouldn’t take incoming calls. She said that there was already someone doing that and she should do it without help.
needless to say, this and other examples like this are going to be brought up before my boss on monday. I can quit as soon as that financial aid comes through from Pacifica. and with the amount of stuff I’ve got to do for both schools by may, it isn’t going to take much doing to convince me to quit.
having to work with someone who doesn’t pull her fair share(boy do I have stories) nor does she allow others to pull theirs(see above) is pushing me over the brink. The money is nice, but the aggravation is more than any sane person should have to deal with.
of course, I’m told by others who work there(lifers we call ‘em) that I shouldn’t get so upset over such little things(which, I may add, combine over time to become big things). Of course, these people are in a position where they CAN’T get upset because it’s their only job, so they won’t rock the boat.
funk dat. Before I leave I’m capsizing the vessel.
