A Week Of Hell's Fire...

This week has been the work week from hell for me. I have no idea what type of Karma is going on in my professional life. Let’s not even delve into my personal life… We would be here all month discussing that!

Monday ~ It wasn’t so bad. Coming from the weekend is never a good feeling but coming to my place of employment is particularly excruciating.

Tuesday ~ Very Bad Morning! I lay in my bed at 6:30am. Which in and of itself isn’t a bad thing. I looked at the news for a few moments and decided to move my disgruntled body and use the facilities. I found my mind wondering as to which tasks/errands on my ever growing “To Do” list I would attempt to tackle on this day. Still not a bad thing. But here’s the kicker… I was planning my day as if it was SATURDAY! When the haze of my nocturnal bliss wore off I realized that it was in fact only the second day of my work week! Boy was I in a bad mood this day.

Wednesday ~ If I didn’t get 100 calls on this day my name ain’t what it is! Clients are calling(mainly the ones that have turned in paperwork late and/or incomplete) because they of course, want their benefits to be reinstated before the Easter holiday. This was an insane day (makes me wish that my department would out-source the phone calls that come at my desk… but not at the expense of me losing my job or pay of course… LOL)

Thursday ~ THIS IS THE DAY THAT WILL GO DOWN AS MY OFFICIAL BREAKING POINT! Between the non-stop traffic of clients (that I did not schedule) just dropping by… Still trying to get their Easter money BTW, the telephone still ringing off the hook, AND the added bonus of not one, not two, but THREE Supervisors coming to me at various point of the day to complete tasks that were priority with deadlines that had times of this very day... instead of future dates. I was livid! I had to reorganize the work I was planning to do in order to meet their deadlines and then try to get back on my goals I had set for myself. Just when I would get my rhythm back... BAM! Another unscheduled, unwanted, and unrealistically deadlined task. I of course, got them completed. But at the expense of the work I planned on doing

Friday ~ There is something particularly painful about having to leave my home on a day that most employed folk that I know are curled up in their beds. (If you didn't know today is Good Friday) The ONLY saving grace of this day was the fact that most of the clients believed that we were closed for the day. I made some headway with the paperwork on my desk but didn’t
complete everything that I wanted to. Why at 3:54pm I get a call at my desk from a client who decides to wait until the end of the day to come out and apply for a benefit. This wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that a)It’s Friday, b)I get off at 4pm, and c)I have had all I can stand of this place this week and have no more left to give. Why you gotta wait until the end of the day (when you don’t have a job) and take care of business pertaining to your livelihood? I referred the client to my Supervisor and was out!

I have been driven to searching the net for other means of legit employment that doesn’t involve selling anything, looking people in the face, and preferably I something I can do from my home. You think I’m kidding. I have given serious thought as to how I can pay my rent and utilities up and leave the place I have grown to dread going to. So if by chance you are one of my close friends that I regularly exchange messages with. Listen up… If you get a text message/email from me and it says CODE PINK…. You know I’ve found what I needed and have begun to shut down at the current gig… If you get a voicemail/phone call from me you know that It’s CODE BLUE and you best be callin the paramedics or the po po!
