Humble request for lounge vibes...
My job has been HELL lately (and by lately, I mean for the last couple of years). Love what I do, love everyone I work with, EXCEPT my 30-something-going-on-13-year-old, arrogant, micromanaging supervisor.
I've been seeking other opportunities ever since the bitch walked in the door; had her number within ten minutes - she started out by telling me that 'the Lord must have wanted me to be in this position...' kinda reminds me of Chimpy the Unelected Imbecile...so turned me off RIGHT away. Anyway, long story short, I've been trying to develop some relationships with those in sister companies (I work for a large corporation, some 80 companies) in the hope of finding the 'right seat on the bus.'
We have a new corporate HR head, and she's seen some of my comments on our intranet blog, and has responded to me personally, saying she likes my ideas and that she wanted to talk to me 'in the near future.' I've heard that before, from others, and it's never panned out, despite polite followups and whatever, so I didn't put too much stock in it.
BUT...she came through, scheduled an hour-long phone call with me for tomorrow, and I'm just hoping that there might be an opportunity there for me to start moving in the direction I need and want to go, to be able to really utilize my education and experience, both for me and for the company -
I really do feel that I have a lot to offer; I am good at what I do; I work hard; I want to continue to work hard....but I'd kinda like to GET somewhere as a result...somewhere other than shot down by The Little Princess on a daily basis...

So anyway, for anyone who has vibes to spare, please send a few my way! I've been one big knot of nerves and pissed-off-ed-ness for WAY too long now, and I need to sell myself, my abilities, and get the FUCK OUTTA THERE.

Thanks so much, fellow loungers...

3. My dear grannylib!
Absolutely, you've got them, for as long as you need them!

I'm amazed that you've been as productive as you have, seeing how toxic your environment is!

May tomorrow be the start of something wonderful for you...

18. Thanks so much...I'll have to hang on to all the vibes...call got cancelled
But I did get a profound apology from the woman who was to call; she got tied up unexpectedly, so we have to reschedule.
Kind of a letdown after getting all hopped up *sigh* But I can be patient!
:hug:
