I think that I am going to collect all of these posts and write a book about the trials and tribulations of the working woman. Dread I've been in a state of disbelief for the last couple of days, what with harsh words from the boss and moving stress, now I find out that the person who works with me and was supposed to take over my job has been offered a permanent position somewhere else. Dread I don't know how to feel. With her gone effective April 1st, everything, the work of three people falls back onto me. I haven't been able to calm down since. I feel really ill and my stomach has been doing air-rolls since I got the news yesterday. I was up for some leave in March about 2 weeks and now that she is leaving there will be no-one to work the desk which means no leave for me. I'm still going to apply for it though since I will go mad if I can't get some downtime.

I have been working none stop for an entire year and I'm ridiculously tired, of course no-one cares about that. Is this a common occurence, hard workers are penalised for the slightest infraction and slackers are praised? 'Cause I gotta tell you, it sure seems that way. I really am beginning to hate work. Honestly if the opportunity to retreat from the world with money , cable and wireless internet came my way, I would do so in a heartbeat. I'm so tired of having to deal with people face to face, I'm seriously developing an intense dislike for everyone in my workplace. Sometimes I feel that they are all deterrents to my life and I'm really tired of everything. Dread its becoming so hard to drag myself out every morning to get to work and frankly I'm giving some serious thought to just not doing it anymore........Doing anything for that matter, after all what's the point anyway, its not as though anyone cares.

I wish everything would just go away.
