Boss.

Being into this job for three months, i have begun to see different dimensions of not just plainly day-to-day work, but also layers of the job. Sometimes i just feel so crap that i would ask if this is the job i want, & if i m given a choice, would i go. This thought appears in my mind not at the time when i have just been scolded by a client over the phone or after listening to a nosy lady complaining about her demented husband. I actually do love my client load. I just don't mind speaking to anyone. This thought actually appears whenever some admin related stuffs get into my way. Strangely or not, i always have this feeling of unwelcome when there is an issue for my boss to handle.

Desk arrangement was a big issue when i first started work at Waverley but i never expected to have it again today. When i arrived at Waverley this morning as scheduled, i found my usual Wednesday seat was being taken. Well, i was initially sitting at someone's desk on Wednesday as my dietitian room is taken by the community nurse. Ok, so there goes my desk hunt. After some argument, i was lucky to find myself a space which is not the toilet. (I have expected the worst - sitting on the floor of the smelly, stinky toilet & pretend the toilet bowl as the computer....) Anyway, that space i found was because one of the staff was on leave. So since we were on the issue, i asked around to see if i could pre-locate myself a seat for future wednesdays - again fortunately a staff has just resigned so it fits perfectly well. At the back of my mind i stupidly/ignorantly assumed that the problem was settled, n even more stupidly, i emailed my boss who was not at this site to let her know the situation. Theoretically this is a problem she shld ve noticed before today & done the necessary arrangement. While i was feeling a bit proud of what i had handled, i got this email from her telling me not to re-arrange my sitting position as the seat i intended to have in the future Wednesdays is filled, n the bottom line says i ve to solve the problem myself by finding another seat. GREAT! It becomes my problem... no idea how come she is the boss - never take care of my welfare. I think my imaginations of sitting at the toilet will materialise by next Wednesday!


Hai~ This kind of things happen often. I just don't like this working environment. If i can possibly avoid dealing issues with my boss, i ll be much a happier employee. Whenever i have an issue to talk to her, she looks stressed & then the problem just comes back to me unsettled. Things like IT inadequacy isn't something i can voice out yet her, being the so-call "team leader" is more than reluctant to "bother" the IT man. Hai~

Honestly, MonashLink is the best ever job that suits me best, n more importantly, i love what i do. But there are just too many unnecessary moments. Sometimes i do wonder if i have a choice, would i actually work elsewhere, for another boss perhaps.....
