Shalai CLUB FAR Sisters 4 LifeFamily Me...'s blog: "Venting"

I'm angry that only half my house is functional. I'm angry that I have to spend $20-$50 a week at the laundromat to have clean clothes. I'm angry that nothing seems to be being done about the things that are broken. I'm angry that I feel like I am dealing with the kids, a non functional home and other day to day things alone. I'm angry that the kids have to come with me all the time. I'm angry that you never want to have them with you. I'm angry that I have done lots of work to improve the way I interact with the kids. I'm angry that you use some of those methods but don't give me the credit I deserve for showing them to you. I'm angry that when I ask for you help on getting the kids to their activities you flake. I'm angry that one night I had to leave our son with his coach so I could take our daughter to her game because you didn't come meet me at the Y even though I practically begged you too for three days prior. I'm angry that you rarely show patience to our children. I'm angry that the only kind words they get from you is at bedtime. I'm angry that you seem to resent when you have to stay with the kids because I have to work. I'm angry that I love my job and you don't. I'm angry that you take out your frustrations on us. I'm angry that you accuse me of taking my frustration on my family when I'm the one that shows the patience and took the extra time. I'm angry. I've been enraged recently. Now, I'm done with you.

Hello all! Just a little update on this previous blog entry. The problem no longer exists. I no longer work for that company and that supervisor. I posted this blog 11/8. 11/9 the supervisor let me go. Now ain't that irony. Oh well Goddes/God know what she/he are doing. I had been struggling with that particular business for about 3 weeks or so. I had made the decision that if something drastic didn't happen and a huge turnaround was made by the end of the month it was going to be me walking out the door. I guess it was time to walk out the door sooner. So I'm out in the job market again! I wouldn't even be looking if we didn't need the money. I'm perfectly happy being an at home mom. Unfortunately hubby's income is not big enough to keep all debts paid and do all the remodeling we need to do or buy a new house. So that's the way of it. I hope you all are having a great week!

Hello! I just need a little help here. I need to figure out if it is just me stuff because of my past history with my abusive father or if there are just a lot of men that are assholes. I started a new job back in September. September 24 to be exact. Now shortly after I started the job Mercury went Retrograde and that always messes with me. Down to why I am writing here. I called a potential client, I am selling health and life insurance, for follow up. The client happens to be a man but I am not mad at him. I am mad at my boss. The client said that he had been trying to call me for several days and made multiple attempts but my phone never went to voicemail. In the meantime his phone number never showed up on my phone as a missed call. I don't know what the deal was with that. I don't know if he was just dialing the wrong number or what. All my other calls came through as missed calls if I didn't answer them. Even the debt collectors LOL. Sorry, I got on a rant and totally went off base of why I am here. What pissed me off was that when I called the client to do the follow up he told me he stopped by the office and met with my Unit Manager, who is a man. The last couple of weeks my UM and I have been a bit crosswise. What I didn't get is why the UM didn't call me to let me know what the client had said happened or even let me know that he was working with the client. Why didn't he call me, text me whatever to let me know that my client had come in to the office and he had been dealing with him. Now I've never been in a supervisory position so I am not sure how all that goes with protocol and stuff like that. I know it is important when a issue comes up that as a supervisor the supervisors first objective is to solve the problem and make the customer/client happy. That is all well and good, but why not contact me and let me know that there was a problem? That's what I don't get. Do I not have the right to know if something has happened? This is where I am coming up the the Men Issues as I stated in the title of this blog. I know I have a problem with men in authority over me. While I was at T-Mobile I thought I had seemed to start getting past that but now with this situation and this company I'm back to "I hate men in authority over me." Feedback from men and women would be appreciated if you have any. I got to try and get a grip and figure out if it is all just me overreacting or if I have a valid point and the right to be irritated with the man in authority in this situation. Thanks, Shalai
