So, the guy I'm working with just gave me the option to have next Friday be my last day (as opposed to today, I suppose). He said he senses my 'frustration' at not having enough to do. It's so interesting to me that, although it's very true, every single time I make a suggestion on how I can approach something or take initiative to get something done, he shoots me down...like I don't know anything...and then he explains how much experience he has doing his job. Yes, this project is out of my area of expertise, but there are certain things I AM very skilled at, but god forbid he admit that I have 2 brain cells in my head. Like right now, for instance - I'm re-formatting the corporate accounts payable policies & procedures and noticing that not only are many procedures missing, but they could use some serious improvement. Inconsistencies, poorly written, missing info, etc. But who am I to suggest improvement...because I don't have an accounting degree, right? Ugh...sorry peeps...had to vent. I'm so relieved that I won't have to deal with this crap anymore. Corporate America is such bullshit and the only f'n thing that matters is making money and stupid f'n office politics. They can keep it because life is so much more than the lifeless & stagnant world they live in. I'm not angry (although I'm sure you're thinking I am!)...I'm just finally starting to see things with a clearer head and heart. And climbing the corporate ladder is SO not for me.
Ok, on a more positive note...it's FRIDAY! And Spring is just around the corner...I'm so hopeful for the next phase in my life...and part 2 of Adventures in Unemployment!!!
