punching the clock How can I best describe the current mood of my fellow associates where I work? Aggravated? Irritated? Accusatory? Hostile? Sadly I think that all of those adjectives would be appropriate in describing them. Everyday that I am there, I have to sit and listen to one person or another complain about someone else. The diatribe starts the minute that I walk into the room and continues until that person leaves. Since I am only human it is wearing me down and I want it to stop. The job is by no means the perfect job, but having to listen to someone whine about it on a continual basis is enough to make me scream. So in an effort to escape from said environment, I requested some vacation time this month in addition to the days that I already had scheduled in December. For me, I have no real complaints about the job and my boss must think that I am doing a good job, because I got my annual cost of living raise without incident. Yes, more than that amount would have been nice, but I am not going to refuse an increase in my salary. Receiving more money to do the same job that I did last year is acceptable with me. |
