Part-time Annoyances...
As most of you know I have a part-time job that, up to now, I have enjoyed. I initially took on a part-time job a little less than 3 yrs ago b/c I purchased my 2009 Corolla in Oct 2008 and wanted some additional income. I never really needed to keep a part-time job, but I choose to have one so I could continue to do all the things I loved without having to divert any portion of my funds elsewhere. The part-time job basically took care of my $400 car payment and my $200 cable/internet/landline payments which was awesome! With that, I'm happy to say that my 36 months of car payments will be ending in 2 months!!! I can't believe how happy I am to not have a car payment anymore...hahaa Can't believe I've made over 18k in car payments over the last 36 months. Anyhow, I planned on working part-time for 1 year max, but somehow I couldn't make myself leave at the end of that first year. I met so many wonderful people and a few that rubbed me the wrong way, but I genuinely enjoyed what I was doing so it really didn't matter.
Now, the pettiness and lack of professionalism have started to annoy me. Even though I've been appalled at some of the antics, from minute 1, I went in there and did the job I was hired for and more. Yes my ears were filled with high school level drama taking place amongst adults, but I let it in one ear and out the other. As most of you know, I'm pretty chill so other people's flair for dramatics just makes me laugh and pity the people in their lives...hahaha The things they say and complain about don't effect me, but I think I'm at the point where I don't even want to bother with some of these people anymore. Too many great things going on in my life to have to walk into a part-time job and deal with workplace nonsense becasue people don't want to do their jobs. If some of these staff members spent as much time workig as they did complaining and gossiping, the place would be run like a well-oiled machine. Hahaaa I thank the good lord above that my primary job, the career I absolutely love, does not have foolishness like this going on...because our clients deserve better than that.
I do feel a bit better now since my sister weighed in on the issue and pointed out that not everybody had my work ethics (I put in a minimum of 200 hrs per month for my primary) and that I should just nip it in the bud. Something I already planned on doing...hahaa With that said, I will definitely be scheduling a talk with the boss lady to determine where this breakdown in communication is occurring, if we can get some consistency to my scheduling in all locations, and if I'm still a good fit for this position. Lots to think about over the next few months....
Enough of the high school level drama... I'm leaving for Gurgaon in 3 weeks and still have a whole list of items to take care of. Oh and my favorite little monkey will be here later this week and he's staying for 10 days!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaay.... I believe I'm the happiest Masi on the planet and cannot wait to spend ridiculous amounts of time with him. It still has not sunk in that he will be turning 1 on July 19th!!! He may whine to get his way, but he's still the most perfect little thing that God has ever created...I may be a bit bias. hahaa I will start a new post b/c I don't want the part-time 'drama' to taint all the 'wonderful' things I have planned for Ishaan's party.
Later!!!
