I too am pissed off about work.
The teaching itself is very good. The bureaucracy is a major PITA. My boss is a complete #$%T.

It's a rebus! (Darn, if HLJ had posted that I could have said It's a rebus, Jebus!) Zen, thanks. I am not glad you have some of the same issues but I am glad I'm not the only one. Gee, Mrs Misery loves her some company, doesn't she? And by 'she' I mean 'me.' |

Thanks all. I spoke to her today at length about other things, yet she still hasn't let on that she is leaving.
I found out through other usually reliable sources. I'm hoping they are somehow wrong, but ... @griff - apparently she is staying in Spec Ed. I can see the reasons for burnout though. There have been several others who have already left. Spec Ed seems to be the forgotten aspect of teaching. They seem more overworked, overloaded and underpaid than the others.

I swear I think my bank is giving my debit card out to people. This is the second time since Nov that someone has emptied my checking account and now I have to wait 5-10 for a refund. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH This is not a card I use ANYWHERE> It just comes with my checking account. I usually pay cash. No one can tell me why this is happening since I don't use or carry the card.
I especially liked when I reported the fraud that the person helping me at the end of the conversation told me to have a nice day... REALLY??!!!

I know I keep complaining about my job. I know I should be grateful to have one.
But here we go again. I HAD to put on my calendar once a week to check a certain year's balance for a certain program that I closed out a LONG TIME AGO. Zero balance. Why do I have to keep checking? Well, today I came in and there is no longer a zero balance. Someone reported something. What? Why didn't I know? Why am I sitting here running reports to see if the new number matches our system? Why am I taking time to do this on a year that was actually completed? And why SHOULD I be spending my time reconciling another program because OUR system has serious failings in reporting to the feds...and I have to fix millions of dollars by hand. Student by student. I want to throw my hands in the air. I feel like I'm being set up. And yes, I refuse to spend my life here just because everything is so poorly managed. I'm sick of it. Sorry. |

I'm a woman of inaction. No, I'm a woman stuck.
No, I suck. No, it's not my fault. Yes, it's my fault. Failure. Complainer. Loser. Words. |

Thanks.
So the guy who threatened us by phone (who admittted to anger due to PTSD from a stint in the service [have to always be vague} came in and since I was the one who took charge of the issue on Friday (while my boss slipped back into her doored, lockable office) the person waiting on me informed me. Said student also asked for a cow orker by name. Cow orker was like "what's going on?" and I once again went through the whole story, noting "you were not here when it transpired." Seemingly all is OK at this point. conversations involving security and managerial support will occur. Meanwhile, awaiting a response as to the numbers discrepancy. |

J's car is still within a few months and a few thousand miles of factory warranty, but for some reason $2K in clutch repair is simply not covered.

Is that because it's considered a wear part, like brake pads?
