I finally bailed, I had a conversation with upper management, who made me realize things were never going to improve, and that was the pivital moment that I decided I was LEAVING.
So, I put in for a lower level secretarial position, willing to take a dollar cut in pay if I had to, got the job, and they are paying me $.02 less an hour. Totally worth it, I love the job, the people I work with are nice. For the most part, truly genuine, kind people, with souls. What a change, and not a felon in the bunch.
They even got me a cake for my birthday! Del did that last year, but everyone seemed annoyed they had to participate!
I did have to leave a good man behind, which I feel terrible about, she’s got to get out of there as well though.
I could just about see myself growing old at this job. I could easily move into one of the JPO positions, or even do adult probation.
I am in such a good mood every day, I’m busy, but with interesting, changing things. Then I have days where I’m going to start reading during my down time. Tomorrow, Rene and I get to go clerk for the regular court tomorrow. Now that should be interesting! I can’t wait really…
I love this job!
