Burning Clock

No phone call today either. Very depressing. In the last week I've sent out resumes to Columbia, Random House, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the New York Kennel Club, a couple literary firms, a literary agent, a couple law firms, New School, Manhattan College, and a synogogue to name just a few. Someone out there has GOT to want me. Someone has to look at my resume and think "Hmm, this girl has got the right stuff. I want to meet her."

Elisabete went psycho on Sebastien today, doing the same thing to him that she did to me on Monday. Last week she told him we'd be closed this Saturday, so he planned his weekend accordingly. Then today she told him we would be open on Saturday. When he called her on the fuck up she yelled and chastised him for not checking the schedule, swearing to high heaven that she never told him we'd be closed. Now his weekend is screwed because she is an idiot. I have to get out of here.

Maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow and go have my physical. The sooner I get all the medical stuff out of the way, the sooner I can give notice.

The one thing I'll miss about the library, besides the NICE people, is having regular internet access. Without it I can't send out resumes, and since I still don't have a connection at my apartment, I'm gonna have to go over to Michael's and use his if I want to job hunt.

I'm in the midst of a major allergy attack.

I'll be honest, I'm scared of quitting. I'm terrified of not having any income. But with each passing day I'm presented with another example of Elisabete's grave mismanagement and I know I can't continue to take this shit.

I just wish I could find someone who wanted to hire me.

What you need to do is report this woman already because this sounds like bullshit. If she treats everyone like this then get everyone to sign a petition about her behavior and take it to someone higher. She can't get away with this and if your sick of it then take it in your hands and do something about it. THis woman sounds like shes on a permanent rag cycle and I think yoou should do this. Otherwise you just let her win and get away with it. She needs to be put in place. If she is so bad then your coworkers wouldn't be against reporting her.

Yes she treats everyone like that, and no, no one will every report her. Why? Same reasons i gave thatnickguy because this job is totally secure. Being a shitty superviser isn't enough to get one fired around here. Even if we all reported her nothing woulf happen and we'd all have to continue to work under her. You must take into consideration that the school DID hire her, she DID come under review this year when her contract expired, the review committee WAS aware of her job performance, and they STILL renewed her contract for another 7 years! If any of us were to file a complaint against her we'd have to endure the continuing wrath of a boss who now has written proof that her employees are out to get her. Talk about making a situation worse! It's not like the option hasn't been discussed around here, just that none of us are willing to subject ourselves to MORE abuse by bringing a complaint.

Here's a good project:

Unionize. I'm totally serious. Get everyone together, figure out what paperwork you need to get done, and tell her bosses that it's her or all of you.

Did I mention that two of our full time employees need to keep their jobs in order to remain in the country?
