work...

I haven't posted much over the last few weeks because I'm having a hellish time at work. I have spent the entire weekend thinking about whether I can bear to go back to that place on Tuesday. It difficult to explain what's going on, but basically I have been given far too much work to do and then my managers refuse to allow me the time to do the work. They continually ask me to do other things and have the nerve to almost suggest that my difficulties have something to do with poor time management. I have spent the last month on the verge of tears every time they ask me to do something else. This is not healthy. Nothing I say seems to make any difference. I have even spoken with my manager's manager's manager and still nothing changes. The final straw is really something very small. I found out as I was leaving work on Thursday that this authority uses a different report format from the one that 99% of other authorities use for child care reviews. I have prepared the wrong form and I cannot bear the thought of going to the meeting on Tuesday to be told that I have done it wrong. I feel a bit pathetic. Working here makes me feel like crap and I have to keep reminding myself that I am a very competent, experienced, worker. This is easily the very worse job that I have ever had. I have decided as I am writing this that I am going to give them a week's notice tomorrow. It's not as if I have a mortage, debts and a cat to feed. Oh no, wait, I do!
