I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
I have the worst headache this morning. I kind of want to go back to bed, but instead I'm sucking down caffeine and ibuprofen, and we'll see how it goes. I'd like to save my PTO, so that I can take a week off once I get a job, and still give some notice, if possible. I mean, if I can't, oh well, not going to cry about it.
I got a call about the HVAC job. They'd like me to come in for an in person interview on Friday. So that's exciting! I also got a hit on a dispatcher job I applied for in Howard County, but it turns out that it's a police dispatch job, so I'll probably pass on that. 911 is one thing, but solely police dispatch is another entirely. I'm not sure I want to be a part of that culture.
Aside from that, yesterday was very quiet. I had my one on one, which went well. To be honest, we didn't talk much about my performance. Apparently, my manager has been showing my teammates my "year in review" document. Several commented that they know whose it is. He's trying to get everyone to write them, because it's obvious that the call center isn't going to hit their metrics, so he's going to need to justify our raises for next year. I should probably be cranky that he's showing it, but I don't really give a fuck. I don't plan to be here for a raise in January, so someone might as well get something out of the document.
We mostly talked about how we're both job hunting. He's looking too--has an interview on Wednesday. Right now, within IKEA, but I think some exterior as well. And I've been up front about my search, since he's one of my references. Didn't want him to start getting calls from Maryland and wonder what the fuck was going on. He's a big believer in the "what should happen will" philosophy, which is not my style, but it's sweet to be told that it'll all work out for the best anyway. I'm more of a "make your own luck" type of person, but I respect being able to hold on to that when your current job is sucking your soul.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get my shit together for work. Everyone have a lovely Tuesday!
