Unconscious Mutterings and stupid Bosses

Well tomorrow I leave for Minneapolis for the week-end with my choir. I'm so excited to have 4 days off. Especially after my boss gives me a lecture the other day about how I'm unproductive. My problem is I'm too damn trusting. I expect people will notice the work I put in. Apparently he never will. I am the ONLY one there who has to justify what I do all day. And according to him if I'm sitting in front of the computer then I'm obviously wasting time. What an asshole! All I do all day is work for him and his business and he doesn't even have the tact to notice. Not only that he has the gall to accuse m of doing personal work there. What an insult!

I'm tired of working in a place where my skills are not appreciated. I went to school for 3 years to learn these skills and I damn well want to use them. But he won't let me use the computer anymore and wants me to be a counter monkey. The moment I find another job I am out of here! He doesn't appreciate anything I do or any of the skills I bring to the job so I am leaving!

He'll praise my co-workers to high heaven but he never notices anything I do for him. He forgets I created his website and made it so his newsletter could go online and that his customers who were on dial-up were able to receive it. He forgets that I am constantly doing price changes for the retail manager so that he can concentrate on the many other jobs he has to do. He forgets that I update the website on a regular basis so that all the information is current. Hell, he forgets that I write the damn newsletter and that in order for me to do all that I NEED to use a computer!!!!!!

I was so close to quitting when he told me all this. When he told me he expects me to stand behind the counter or merchandise and to never ever again do any graphics work I was BITING my tongue. (if I didn't need the money so bad I would have said adious) I was so tempted to say "Well I can see our goals are very different and that the person you need for this job is obviously not me. Consider this my two weeks notice."

I keep praying that I will be given an opportunity to walk away from this miserable man into something better that proves that I do have worth and that he is VERY wrong.
