Adrenaline junkie
Sep. 27th, 2010 01:15 pmYesterday I went to work, worked hard all morning and I was on my way home when I heard my boss arguing on the phone with somebody. My name was mentioned. From what Icould understand he was telling some home truths to my former boss asking questions on how it happens that we are the agency that produces most with the least number of staff and on their bad organisation of resources.
I waited until the phone call ended and it turns out that my former boss had come out with this harebrained scheme: to share my time between the two agencies. I told him I don't want to go and he told me hedoesn't want me to go either and he was ready to tell so to his boss (the owner of all the agencies).
I really hope he wins this one, because I already know what the sharing will mean: overtime for me on both sides (and I like the money, but I need some weeks like this where I just work my hours), both sides arguing with me in the middle and me going back to a bad work environment and loss of sense of belonging on my part. All my doctors have commented on how improved I am since changing jobs and I agree with them. I feel happier, I feel safe, I see the agency as a place in which I can work till retirement.
We'll see how it goes. I have confidence in Giuliano, my boss. Mauro (the owner) tends to listen to him in these matters.
On the work front I have another little problem. I like working hard a bit too much. I get home tired but on an high and it takes me a while to calm down and be able to sleep. Yesterday for example it took an afternoon with my father exploring the countryside, a great dinner and half a bottle of wine. It's probably another reason why I should get a life.
This morning I slept till past 11 betaed a few pieces over coffee and I was looking forward to see my therapist today to work on this getting a life thing, but she got sick, so i have now a free afternoon. I spent some time on the balcony settling my plants for winter (I now just need to put on the covers of the green houses, but I want to wait a bit more) and now I am catching up with White Collar. I'll probably do some washing and wash my hair, just to keep myself busy.
