| my new schedule |

Today I start my new schedule at work. I was whining around Thanksgiving about the people at work driving me insane. The boss is bipolar and is slowly but surely heading into a depression. I think it's going to be a bad one. The major sign is that he'll just walk out in the middle of appointments. He thinks that's ok because he always has a (lame) excuse and because I'm there to do the work for both of us. So I decided to quit but that just didn't feel right. See, I'm way too nice of a person and I felt bad. They just had another fill-in vet quit and they can't get anyone to replace her. So if I left they'd really be in a bind. I decided to reduce my hours. Either that or quit.
The boss's counter-offer? Change the days I work. But, I'm not stupid and I realized that if I changed to different days that would mean I was actually working one hour more. Plus that would mean two whole days with the receptionists that get on my nerves. No way. So, we decided to do half a day Monday and all day Wednesday. That still puts me with the mean receptionists but not for two whole days. That gets me off the day of working with the boss so he can't dump things on me.
The receptionists are mad. They know that days with the boss are going downhill fast. They see me bailing out and are not happy. At first of course they accused me of being a horrible lazy person. That's when I informed them that this was a compromise position to quitting. That shut them up for a few hours. Then they started back up again. One told me that I was "just being difficult like a child." See, why I hate working with them? They then declared that they were going to make my 1.5 days "a living hell." How sweet.
But I'm happy and at this point that's all I care about. If this doesn't work out I will quit with a clear mind because I tried to work things out. I have been terribly productive on my half day home. I've played on the computer and cleaned stalls. I tried to buy a sidesaddle on EBay. Now I'm going to do yoga. I have a feeling I'll need a nice Zen mindset to deal with people today.

Wow, I can't imagine anyone at my workplace talking to me like that! It must be a real living hell. :( At least you have half a day to do nothing. :D
