Feeling Worried
Day 78 - Black Tuesday
The Diva is back and she’s got her heels on.
Talk about being kicked when you’re down (‘Public Stoning’ – anyone want a shot, shouldn’t take much more before we take her out for good!!!). I walked out of my job today. Some may consider this dramatic, or childish, or a moment of madness. BUT I simply couldn’t take anymore kicks.
Not a few months ago I was being thanked for doing an alright job (a difficult job at times) – trundling along quite happily ‘considering’. BUT (going to be a lot of ‘buts’ in this episode!!) my ‘considering’s!!’ have deteriorated lately and shall we say I’ve had more on my plate, than even a school lunchtime service could handle. Then the ice cream was served to which the diva flipped – turned on her heels and left!!
I admit I made a ‘process error’, for which I hold my hands up to (I am merely a human and not an office robot! – nobody is perfect). In my job (or maybe just in my case) there is no room for any errors – but there are ways in which people should be pulled up for their failings. I got told (just before the fatal blow) ‘I’m about to ruin your day’ – NICE huh? – from someone in a reputable position. I do also see the reasoning behind punishment – but should punishment be awarded if you were not aware it could head your way?????? I mean, not once had I been told that if I had made such an error that I could face bigger issues!! Also……(this gripes me) errors such as the one I had made have occurred in my department many times before, but no one until now (to my knowledge) has received this! I mean had our controls team done their job I would not be in this position (so what's the difference?). Perhaps to you (Joe Public) I’m coming across as someone who has thrown their toys out of their pram because I’ve had my legs slapped, but I’m a believer in principle and also for others to look at the bigger picture!!
Would it not have been wiser to assess individual cases and taken into account additional circumstances as to why this may have happened, before deciding on action. I hate using my personal life as an excuse for failings at work, as I do try to leave them on the doorstep when I leave for work, but sometimes it’s difficult to segregate the two. They could have tried the softly, softly approach, rather than gun boots with the grim reaper not far behind. Did they really think that a clip round the ear was going to help??? Me thinks me is a number and not a person.
It has been left that I’ve been given the week to ‘calm down’ (their words not mine!!). Trouble is, if I go back, I return with a swinging axe hanging over my head, one more foot wrong and then it’s a free fall – who wants to work in conditions like that? Still at least I’ve given the gossip mongers something to chew on for a few days – always one to keep the troops happy!!
Serves me right for finishing the tablets – I feel it maybe time to re address this issue too!!! (Doctors appoint in the morning – back on the NHS hamster wheel!!)
If you hear of any vacancies for an ex bank employee – please feel free to email me!!!
To be honest I should have seen it coming as these were my stars for today which Iread in the Metro this morning - How apt!!!:-
Cancer June 22 - July 23 : A busy Tuesday. You’ll be easily distracted by one crisis after another. Concentration is out of the question. Avoid making any life-changing decisions unless you like leaving such things up to the fickle finger of fate.
With love from a very unhappy, unemployed, tired, exhausted, stressed and down trodden sad female – x (hugs welcome!!)
