Boredom, Roses and the RCMP

Work this week has gotten really mind-numbingly boring. I have had NOTHING to do all week. Then yesterday Dawn got mad at me because I wasn't doing anything. I have NO job description therefore on a daily basis I have no jobs to complete.

I attempted to help put out the new frames that just came in but then today Dawn switched it all around again. I guess whatever I did wasn't good enough. If the boss were here he'd probably side with her anyway.

I have done everything I was assigned to do before my boss left for his first trip last week. He phoned and asked to speak to Dawn. I was helping a customer and when I finished Dawn told me my boss wanted to talk to me on the phone. So when he asked me if it had been busy at the front today I figured Dawn must have said something about me not doing much.

The thing is no one lets me do anything. Dawn has all her studio stuff to keep her busy and Glenn has all his ordering stuff. I guess she thinks that all I should do is stand at the front and help customers and when there are no customers I should just stand there. I apparently don't deserve to have any real work given to me.

I was just SO frustrated because I was bored so I sat in front of my computer all day. And I guess if I was her I'd get mad too but she doesn't allow me to do anything else so what does she really expect? For me to just sit around and do nothing without complaint. GRRRRR

so on the phone my boss gave me a few things to do which of course I finished really quickly and easily. So once again I'm back to being bored.

On the up side Eyrin came in today and she had an interview with the RCMP! YAY! She apparently passed the interview and is moving on to the next stage of this whole application process! I sure hope she makes it! She'd be a tremendous asset to the RCMP. It sounds like the RCMP job application process is moving along better than the OPP process. I think the RCMP would be better for her anyway. I've got my fingers and toes crossed for her.

Yesterday Karen and J had their 4 month anniversary. J gave Karen four roses, one for each month. It reminded me that I have never gotten flowers from any of the men in my life. So I changed my msn name to "You Don't Bring me Flowers" and Mandy told me to suck it up because she's married and doesn't get flowers from Ryan. She told me that if she based her relationship on things that were given to her she'd be materialistic.

I don't necessarily think people need to give you things to show they love you and that you are important to them. But J giving Karen flowers shows that he was thinking of her and that their anniversary is important. I just think it shows he'd go the extra mile for her. We all know that Ryan has an aversion to giving flowers as gifts...something about them dying too quickly or something like that.

It is such a grey gloomy day outside today. It's just plain depressing.
