A mindless punching bag
This blog is just to rant about work. I've decided to rant instead of get mad cuz i'm ready to walk out of this place and never look back. But that won't solve anything and I need a job atm.
I'm so frustrated and pissed off its not funny. I'm trying to set up meetings to help with a consultant who is suposedly hired on (from the records department) to help manage/clean up the filing process in the department i'm working in. I've only got half of the responses back. Some of the people don't care what happens in the meeting but everyone cares about the paper in the office whether it's useful now or later. So i've gotten rid of tonnes and tonnes of paper within the last year and I'm pattin myself on the back for the amount of clean up I did do. Now there's all this other shit that i'm trying to fit into their respective files and that's taking a bit of time to track them down cuz they are either active and in our file room or they have been sent off to be archived for a certain amount of time and then destroyed. YAY for me. I have work to do. My problem is some of the people in the office don't want to co-operate with me to get things in a better fashion and not have so much junk just laying around forever. Then I get more work dumped (literally) on me that has to be done like right now. HELLO!?! do you not see that i'm buried in a mountain of shit that no one else wanted to clean up and just left to collect dust until I came along to clean? FOR FOCK SAKES! FOCK!
On a lighter note, i've got a job interview with Deloitte and Touche as a filing clerk. So hopefully I can land there and get a pay raise plus a full time job with benefits and I won't have to look back on this place that hasn't done shit for me in the past two years since i've been here. I mean hey, I have a job and a nice paycheque but that's pretty much it. The last contract I was on was set to expire at the end of last month and now they are doing something about it. They're actually creating a position for me to actually be in...a full time permanent position. I'm sorry but, government is stupid. They're the ones who control the democratic world we live in but it's like talking to an old person. Things happen at snails pace and it's very hard to get a position here. I was just glad to have gotten out of sev at the time. Now I want out of this place. Everyone says that government is the place to be and if you can get in then stay there. FOCK NO! I say run for the hills in this case. There's tonnes of old ppl that have been in their current positions from the dinosaur age and they're not about to give it up to some lil shit who just came out of college and who knows the in's and out's of the information age. And that's another thing. We're living in the information age and its supposed to be paperless or almost there. Well, that isn't the case here. Everyone keeps everything and they don't do shit with it. And all the old ppl have to print off everything just to see it in black and white rather than on the computer because they can't read it in black and white on a simple screen. I don't get it. They can watch TV until gosh knows when but they can't read something on the computer.
Anyways, I think i'm done for now.
