Ok, I had a serious wtf? moment at work last week.
The Customer Service team here is made up of four young women all between the ages of 19 and 22. Their manager is a 26 year old woman. When they’re short staffed (often), they are helped out either by a junior member of the Settlements [...]

Every job leaves it’s mark on you in some way, shape or form. If you’re as big a workaholic as some people, it’s inevitable, but I do believe it’s inevitable in any case. My work history has definitely left it’s mark on me, in much the same way that past relationships do. There was the [...]
Memo to Random Strangers

Memo to random strangers*:
I am not your darling. I am also not your sweetheart, your sweety, your love, your friend, your ‘babe’ or any other so-called endearment you want to use. Don’t do it. I will call you on it. I’m not willing to sit here and have you call me that. And for the record, [...]

ETA: I just hit bingo with my six. It’s only 11am. I hate this station.
Wow. I swear to a deity I don’t even believe in, if I have to listen to this radio station every fucking day for much longer I will explode. The woman next to me at work has her radio on this [...]

Memo to office workers

This is for the attention of both men and women who work in offices.
Your midriff is not, under any circumstances, considered professional attire. Put it away. I do not want to see it whilst I am working.
If you work in a casual office, fine go for your life; let it all hang out. In one [...]
I’ve made a huge mistake

To quote one of my favourite TV shows, “I’ve made a huge mistake”
Shit.
I hope it’s the illness and the drugs speaking. Otherwise I’m screwed.
For anyone who didn’t catch the reference (and pt, I know you didn’t!), go here.
Major Disconnect Moment
Posted in feminism, male privilege, office on February 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It was a little thing, but still it seemed to make me realise how disconnected I am from (what seems like) the rest of the world.
On my last day at my last job a few of the women were discussing getting ready to go out that night. I happened to mention that it wouldn’t take [...]
Leaving

The happiness I felt on the morning of my last day didn’t actually last for the entire day. With the first meaningful goodbye, the tears started to well up. I met a lot of wonderful people at that company, and as much as I came to hate my time there, I had did enjoy myself [...]
Last Day
Posted in office on January 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today is my last day at this job. I feel fan-freaking-tastic. I’m sure there’s some deep and meaningful and reflective things I’m meant to say at this time, but really all I feel is relief. Working out a notice period is not fun.
So that’s all I have to say. Yay for me, it’s over (almost)
