My mistake screwed up university’s finances

Posted by Stymee in Work on Jul 7th, 2010 | 9 comments

I made a stupid mistake in my code and it caused duplication of charges to the amount of 30k. After the duplicated charges were discovered another person where I work got blamed and I said nothing. The worst part is this person really thinks he screwed up and might be fired for it. But I really need this job and since I’ve fixed the code problem and since no one else ever looked at the code I will never tell and will never be caught.

I must be a Drama Queen…

My work colleague pisses me off. He likes to moan about his wife/work/money/wife/work all the time & I let him, regardless of my private eye rolling. Sometimes I encourage it as I feel he has no-one else to talk to.

We used to have so much fun about 18 months ago, but redundancies we’re made and our ‘group’ was seriously reduced. His moaning became a constant annoyance, and mishaps happened at work and we became angry with the company and one another. Unfortunately I was typing an email to a friend(to be honest, it was a full on bitch session about him – and it wasn’t pretty). This was never sent and I got rid of the email but stupidly I never checked it was removed from my deleted items…it wasn’t and my colleague subsequently found it.

I understand my own stupidity. I also understand how lucky I am that we have discussed this and come to an understanding and will eventually be able to ‘move forward’. Things have improved dramatically already and several issues between us have been resolved.

What I don’t understand is, this could have all been avoided if I hadn’t been so stupid. I wonder whether I subconsciously ‘crave’ drama in my life as this isn’t the first time I’ve done something so unimaginably ridiculous & not just at work. I’m fed up of hurting people.

who to choose??

I have been in an on / off again relationship with by boyfriend of 10 years. as of now we are on…for the last 4 years we have been together – bought a house about 3 years ago. We are both 29 years old. About 5 years ago we were not together and he had a child with a girl he was with for about a year. 9 months of it was the pregnancy. I have also been at my job for almost 8 years. there is a co worker of mine who is 35 and got laid off about 2 years ago and recently came back to my office. when we met – it was like an instant chemistry. FRIEND WISE! We clicked. He knew i had a man and what my situation was cause we always talked about everything. He has a 12 year old daughter too. but – when he got let go – we used to email each other to see what what was going on with each other to keep in touch. then he emailed me saying that he never had a connection with anyone like he did with me and he had a crush but since i had a man he backed off…well i kind of felt the same and i told him in the email as well. he is completely different than my bf and actually cares about my needs. Nothing has ever happened and i am kind of scared that if something did – i would leave the guy i have put so much work into. it is hard not to think about the co worker because he always appears in my dreams! and in my dreams nothing really happens – cuddling and laying together is about it. we have become closer since he has returned to my office and things have left off where they did before. i feel like i am in limbo with this. just getting this off of my chest – maybe it will help me not think of him so much.

I can not sleep

Posted by Katja in Work on Apr 16th, 2010 | 1 comment

I am angry that my colleague is also my neighbor. I can not escape from her. And the thing that pisses me off that she always says that our boss is sh_t, that all of us in the department are sh_t, because he thinks like that….and that all of us are in the sh_ty situation.
And i hate the fact that she has an influence on my confidence, i hate it. I hate the fact, that she can say only a little thing and it can disturb me. I HATE IT! And now I can not fall a sleep.
Anyway, my boss has a bad manner but which boss has not?
I just want to do a good job and improve myself. So what if I gave a crappy presentation. I have a nice boyfriend which I love and next time I will improve myself and I ll be wonderful…anyhow…I do not know how to escape from her. She is not a bad person, she helps a lot…but has somehow negative attitude….

I do not know….
I guess I have to gain more self confidence, that not just she but nobody can disturb me. But… I do not know how? Starring each morning at the mirror and saying….oh, how beautiful I am.,… does not help…..

Anyhow……I hope that I will gain my confidence, so that no one can disturb me….

because I am wonderful, I like my job, I like my boss even though he can be a jerk and the most important
i like my boyfriend and I would like to have a children with him.

My Boss is Unethical

Posted by Anonymous in Work on Jan 28th, 2010 | 3 comments

My boss cheats the company – stupid stuff, “borrowing” 100$ from petty cash, lying about his expense account, manipulating time cards, etc. He lies on reports to make our division look better than we are. I am very uncomfortable working for him, but I need my job, and (used to) love my work. I am afraid to tell his boss because it’s a small corporation and he will know that I am the one who told, since I am the only one who knows. I wish he would get caught and get fired.

Vegas Stripper

Posted by Roxane in Work on Nov 27th, 2009 | 16 comments

I have been a stripper for over 10 years now. I started when I was in graduate school. After graduate school I realized I was not going to find a job that paid me as much as I made dancing, nor find a job that I enjoyed as much as dancing. So I figured I might as well capitalize on being a stripper while I still had the body and looks. Within three months I saved up enough money to put down on a house. That was the best investment I ever made. I also helped out my father with his finances, paid off as much as I could on student loans, and traveled a bit. When I finally did decide to “settle down” and get my career started, I chose to enter the teaching profession. However, even once I began teaching, I still continued to dance….the money was so ridiculously unbelievable. I didn’t want to, nor saw the need to stop. I started going out to Las Vegas to dance though….more money, clubs were open 24/7, you could work when you wanted, and less chance of running into someone I knew. I often times used some of the money I made in Vegas to buy supplies for my classroom. I taught for five years and danced on and off during that time as well. I decided to go back to school full time to earn another degree, this time in nursing. I of course started going out to Vegas a lot more to finance nursing school and to pay for my mortgage and other fixed financial obligations I had. I am a RN now and am trying to ween myself from the dancing, but I will confess, it is so hard to do, not just because of the money, but because I honestly do enjoy to job, especially after being cooped up in the hospital all night. Anyways, as I’m sure your wondering “How old are you now?” Well I’m in my 30’s but I look really young and do take care of myself, so I still do well when it comes to my secret life as a Vegas stripper.

Confessions of a luxory hotel representative…

Posted by Your infamous hotel agent in Work on Jun 14th, 2009 | 3 comments

Please note- It is not wise to be cruel to the hotel agent who checks you in.

I have worked at different hotels over the last 5 years while trying to make it through school and after dealing with some of the most tasteless attitudes from all sorts of clientele I would never choose to make it a career in hospitality. I merely buck up to the insults and deal with it but I have a warning message to those who are the travelers of the world.

Be nice to your hotel agent at check-in… most agents will not kiss your ass once you have displayed how much of a bitch or an asshole you can be… so if your wondering why you didn’t get the comp upgrade you so desired, check your attitude at reception and see if that will answer your question. I is either that or the agent is really sold out of the suites, but you will definately win more with a better attitude.

Personally I have delt with the most witty assholes and condescending bitches… these people constantly insult my intelligence on a daily basis and I just have to put up with it to keep my job. But seriously it is not acceptable people.

For example-Dont be a dick about what room you get at first if you can good with make small talk and nice conversation with out comming off like a perv… I can guarantee most clerks will be more than happy to comp your upgrade without mention. This is how you win without paying out the arm and the leg for it.

If you are more of the whiney complainer type we clerks are less likely to help you no matter how much of the company policy is telling us to kiss your ass… We do have access to what room you get and your room rate… to which no one can prove we did it on purpose; and beware if you are a return customer- so dont expect to get away with murder.

This is not that serious I am not a vengeful person. I just simply wont bend over backwards for ungratefule guests who are never satisfied and feel it necessary to be a constant bitch or asshole during their stay at any hotel I work at.

So do yourself a FAVOR all yea guests and hotel travelers…. treat the front desk staff well and it will definately be worth your while.

of course this is anonymous lol

I should have gotten the job!

I’m trying to deal with my feelings of disappointment, anger, frustration, and hurt. I just found out my co-worker got a senior position I also applied for. I really do like my co-worker and I am happy for her, but I am much more qualified and experienced than she is, so don’t understand why she got the job over me. It’s going to be very difficult to go into work next week.

Going Red

Posted by Anon in Work on Aug 15th, 2008 | 1 comment

I keep going red at work and feel uncomfortable in my new job and its really affecting me. I am highly qualified experienced etc. but find it difficult trying to deal with lots of confrontation in an open plan office where there are so many “know it alls”. I try to keep positive but find myself dreading going in and feel unappreciated and its affecting my self esteem as don’t feel performing as well as I should.

Frstrated with the call

I know that I am called to be a pastor. But I hate feeling snubbed by my peers because I have decided to work part time and only be licensed and not ordained so that I can spend time with my family. I went to seminary too, and I even learned original languages which many of you never did. So does that make me any less than you? I am frustrated with the system that has to put me into the licensed category and not ordain me because I don’t fit the mold. I hate that so much of what I learned in seminary was a waste and what I learned when I was pursuing an MBA has actually been more helpful. I hate that change in the church is always resisted instead of evaluated. I hate that I always feel tired because I have a hard time with balancing everything. I hate that some days I don’t even have time for personal devotion. I have a lot to pray about and much to change that’s in my control.
