Let it goooooo, let it goooo!
So I work at a graphic design place.
No I’m not a graphic designer and no I don’t design shit. I’m in the production side of it all, and it’s actually super cool what we do here, but the people and the environment are poison.
I really like my job and I like what I do, but who I do it for and who I do it with literally make me question my entire existence.
In November, I will have been working here for four years, and I honestly don’t know how or why I’ve lasted so long. It started off as a convenient job because after I left the barn/horse world, I needed something temporary before Brian and I traveled to New Zealand for three months. My boss is a friend of my mom’s and she said she needed some extra hands for a few months until they found someone permanent, so it was perfect; I came in and helped out until Brian and I left. I knew I needed a job for when I came home, but I figured I would deal with that when the time came, but they liked me so much, they waited for me to come home and “re-hire” me. Fine. At the time, that was great because I needed the money and I hate job hunting/job interviews/resumes etc...and for the first year, it was actually a lot of fun. Fun environment, fun people...where were obviously some faults because nowhere is perfect, but it was doable, aka: I didn’t feel the need to quit.
We moved locations and increased in size and work flow and that was kind of the switch of it all. My boss got power hungery and an overall bitch (she’s also extremely ADHD and an air-head, but doesn’t realize any of these things so when you call her out on any of it, she freaks out), but she calls the shots, so it’s made the whole place almost chaotic.
Whatever. I could go into details about it for forever, but basically what it all comes down to is I’m miserable hahaa
My supervisor (let’s call her.......Jennifer) I’ve become extremely close with. Almost like...best friend level, but she’s more than half the problem. I’m incredibly intimidated by her and even though she can be the funnest person in the world and the funniest, she’s, in reality, the most awful. She definitely has anger issues that she doesn’t care to control and will go off on anybody about anything, very very short tempered and hot headed (she knows it), and just an overall disrespectful bitch. She hates being told what she doesn’t want to hear, and she’ll let you know, and she hates being told no. She will not take no as an answer----------------------How long can I make this thing, honestly? Like, when do I stop venting? This is going to be the longest post in history....what am I doing. Stop it.
