But then I read about her cancelling the aquariums, and right after Gregg did all that work to move them. The woman seems deceitful!

Fair enough, I guess. But after letting me down like she did about the secretary position I feel like she could have waited a few months to spring this on us--plus, he JUST moved one of the tanks this week. That's a lot of work to now find out he needs to take it down AGAIN.

And I struggle with anxiety anyway, so this is all starting to get to me a little. All these changes, and I'm not thrilled with how she's handling things. At this point I just want to start the year and disappear into my office, doing my work each day, clocking out, and coming home. At least with the aquariums being gone I won't have to worry about checking on the fish during work holidays! Also it's one less thing tying me there. Maybe by next year I can move to another school (at least) if I'm still not happy with her.

She apparently had a talk with the bookkeeper and thinks the school is spending too much money per year on their maintenance. She could have had the decency to tell him that BEFORE he went to all of the trouble to move the lobby tank! He said she was very curt with him and didn't sound like she gives a shit. And that's a little less money in our pocket each month, too. Gregg's been maintaining those aquariums for years now, far longer than I've worked there. What a disappointment.<br /><br /> None of this seems to bode well for what to expect from this woman. :(<br /><br />ReplyDeleteJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.com
