So I have new boss. This is the fourth boss change in the little over a year and half I've been with this company.
I really haven't found anything else that fits me, and is willing to hire me at this point in time, so this job pays the bills for now.
But on to the point...
I was brought into the Human Resources woman's office today with the new boss, and was told I complain too much. If I don't shape up in a couple of months, they're going to ask me to leave (nice way of saying "We're gonna fire you."). No complaints about anything but my attitude.
You know what bothers more than anything?
THEY'RE RIGHT
When I see something I don't agree with, I try and change it. I'm constantly trying to fix everything around me to make myself and my peers happier (they bitch and whine just as much, if not more, than me, but they don't have the balls to say anything about it). But the fact is, it's not my company, and I just have to go with the flow, and stop trying to change everything. If they want to change the direction of the plant, then that's their choice, and I have to deal with it or move on. Move on I shall, but for now, I just have to deal with the situation at hand.
It's a good learning experience for me in life. I can't fix everything, right? I just have to pick my battles and not waste my, and everyone elses, time bitching and whining. It's not fair to everyone else, 'cause they probably don't give a shit about my opinion.
I don't like my new boss, but I do have to respect the way he dealt with the situation. It was a very professional, matter of fact "shape up or ship out" conversation.
So, for now I'll keep my mouth shut and do my job. I'll find something that fits me better and move on, and everyone will be happier, right?
Stupid life lessons, never stopping.

P.S. The storm in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area, for my non Canadian friends, which I think is 2 people) was NUTS today! I was outside at 1 PM, and it was just flurries, but by 3 PM (when I get off work), there was, like, 4 inches of snow everywhere! Crazy Canadian weather!
P.P.S. Is anyone else here taken aback by Bowie's incredible beauty?
I love this set, and every Bowie set, for that matter. Brilliant.
And her owl tattoo is fucking BADASS!
P.P.P.S. I was thinking of using caps and bold to get the "badass" across there (ie. BADass, or badASS), but nothing really got the point across. The emphasis shoud be on the bad, but for some reason, it doesn't translate well to the computer. I don't know why.
P.P.P.P.S. For my new friends who are not accustomed to reading my journal...
1) I occasionally write unnecessarily long journals.
2) I use a lot "P.S.s" for some unknown reason.
3) I analyze EVERYTHING to death. Including grammar and how I couldn't express "badass" properly in my blog thingy.
This is because I'm weird. I don't think I can change that. Or would, if I could.

I think that it's great to have an opinion, and if that gets you into trouble, well so be it. I have just found Bowie and she is divine, i totally agree.
And yes I understand what you mean about BAD - ass.....LOL
Thanks for the supportive words, and the interesting command to feel better hahaha I'm starting to feel better. Sometimes there are just those shitty days where everything goes wrong and I feel like garbage...usually by the next morning I feel better. Like today for example! I felt like complete and utter garbage yesterday. I was so stressed out and confused with so many things...today I no longer care!
Thanks so much for liking my set. It's definatelyl my favorite, so I'm glad you enjoyed it as well! xo
