And with that, a new start! It's been a while since my last post. There's a bunch of reasons for that, though the main one involves my former company letting me go right before Christmas after over three years of service. Such compassion! I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the way the staff is consistently treated by management. Basically, working for my former boss was reminiscent of going to the dentist for a root canal; over and over and over. Kind of like a morbid version of Bill Murray's Ground Hog's Day movie.
It's awful when that begins to happen. You wake up every day dreading an encounter with your boss. If she's in a good mood, the day will be manic. If she has a sour disposition, which more often was the case, it is impossible to do anything right. She's insulting, demeaning, and treats the staff as if they are children. She'd overhear a bit of employee to employee banter, and then start sending Instant Messages telling everyone to "shut up and get to work". She really enjoyed fabricating disparaging, factually inaccurate stories about her staff too. What's kind of frightening is that she actually believed her own made up stories!
So...enough of that. The new job is fantastic. I get to work with some really cool, professional folks who understand how to interact with people. It's almost like I've just been liberated after spending the last 3 years in one of Kim Jong Il's labor camps!
So...look for new posts soon! That is, if you are still reading this blog after my 3 month absence.
