First, work update: Had a big conversation with them yesterday. It turns out they weren't letting me go (big miscommunication). I was willing to stay until they told me that my performance thus far has been "adequate." I've sought critical feedback and received none. To their credit, they acknowledged their mistake. But they seem to think I have a lot of room for improvement, and it sounds like they think one person is more than capable of handling this position. I believe they don't realize how much the responsibilities of the position have grown.
So, I talked to Joe last night. And I'm going to...quit. Not because of my migraines. I'm quitting because I honestly believe no one should have all those responsibilities, as evidenced by the turnover in this position. I'm surprised I lasted six months.
I haven't actually put in my notice yet because I want to figure out what happens next. So many ideas. So many things I could do. Just thinking on it right now. Took a floating holiday today.
So today I woke up super early (Joe came to bed at 3 am, and I dozed till 5) and cleaned for three hours straight. We have company tonight. But I set a timer and cleaned - wow. I'm amazed at how much time it actually takes to clean. I spent three hours and didn't even vacuum, and only did two of the three bathrooms!
I'm very proud of running around the house for three hours. And that's all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading!
wow that's an interesting turn of events. It'll be interesting to see what happens next for you. Way to be productive and get all that housework done! Want to come over and do mine? ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, so crazy, that's one huge misunderstanding. I hope this break from work gives you time to get some rest and figure out these migranes. It will be nice not trying to schedule dr appts around work and stuff, and not have to worry about Joe picking you up when you don't feel good.
ReplyDeleteNice work getting all the housework done, I hope your get together went well and everyone enjoyed some cake!
