Work bullshit, foot issues, and fic

[severity_softly]

So some of you remember I’d been talking about a possible manager position coming open, and you and Dr. M all encouraged me to tell the bosses I was interested. So I did. Opening date of the new hotel has been pushed back and back, so I wasn’t sure when to expect to hear. Yesterday I did. C told me what she knew, I guess to give me a heads up/warning. They hired a new guy a couple months ago, and they are making him the manager here, and moving C to the new hotel. I’ve been here FOUR YEARS, and they give it to the guy they just hired?! He has a little experience, but he’s been working at a fucking Krystal for a while before coming here, NOT as a manager. And how am I supposed to GET experience if no one gives me a chance?

Seriously, one of the things I liked about this place when I started was that they promoted from within. WTF. FOUR YEARS. I don’t want to be a damn desk clerk next year, or the year after that, or the year after that. And clearly if they were going to promote me, they would have. I’m pissed and depressed, and I can’t fucking STAND the guy they’re promoting. Guests like him a lot, but he’s a HUGE PHONEY. Ugh.

I finally saw the foot doctor yesterday. He says I have turf toe, and gave me steroids to help with it. I’m a little nervous about it, since it can cause mood changes. I didn't exactly want to tell the damn foot doctor that I'm bipolar. I wonder if the Prozac and Lamictal will hold up to the steroid. We’ll see. He told me if I couldn’t take the side effects, I could stop taking them. He also gave me this pad to wear in my shoe, but I’m not sure if that’s helping or hurting, really. It IS annoying, though.

So I posted fic the other day, and I’m not happy with it. I was unsure to begin with, then I posted. And then I regretted it later. I feel like there should have been more build up than there was. Maybe I can expand it into a larger fic. I want to write longer fic anyway. I need to get inspired, though. Maybe I’ll write loooooong fic for cm_exchange this year.

Speaking of which, I CANNOT BELIEVE it’s time for me and innerslytherin to think about cm_exchange again! We need to kick it off this month. Like SOON. And the lovely, sane resolucidity is helping us out this year. :D You all better play again this year (or start playing), or we’ll hunt you down!

*hugs* I'm sorry hon :( I say kick the new manager in the teeth but, probably not the best approach.

On the bright side? Maybe they will learn the error of their ways when he's finally pput in action? :(

*hugs*

Foot doctors are hit or miss...mine was really cute, until he gave me a shot of cortisone w/o telling me the side effects (most painful experience in my adult life so far lol).
But give the shoe insert a chance- if its what I think it is, I think they soften up a bit?

*hugs*

As for fic, you can dooo iiiiit! *cheers* :)

I might not kick in teeth, but punching his stupid face would be pretty satisfying. lol

I was reading those signs in the room while I was waiting, and saw something about cortisone and wondered if they'd have to do that. Was the actual injection part painful, or the medicine itself. That IS pretty shady not to warn you, though.

Mine was really cute. And YOUNG. He's only 35!

Lol, its amazing how violence always makes everyone feel better. :)

Lol in his defense, I didn't ask any questions and it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have a paid photoshoot that evening and it wasn't my driving foot lol.

The actual injection wasn't bad but I was also highly distracted by the moving-x-ray of my foot which as a bone nerd? Was epic awesome.

Soo I was pretty distracted. It took like 20 mins for it to start hurting lol. It was like burning meets intense foot cramp meets razor blades in your veins. Lol.

I could barely walk and literally was sobbing the entire way home (which was far) and was literally crawling down the last 2 blocks to my house w/ no foot on the gas literally just crawling and sobbing lol.

Yeah, pretty much the only reason I didn't kick my podiatrist in the face on the follow up was b/c he was young and hot lol.

The FNG's experience is that he worked at a Krystal for a few years...and now he's going to be a manager at your hotel? WTF indeed! I've been in fast-food management since 1997 and don't I would be qualified to manage a hotel...the food part, maybe, but not the whole shebang! Is he one of those kinds who suck up to the people who can advance their career and kiss ass alot and generally convince TPTB that they are the qualified for a job they've never even done before? If he's even remotely like that, just stay calm and wait for him to fall on his ass once he's gotten the job where you are. People like this talk a good game but they can't play it for shit. I had a boss like that when we opened a new restaurant and she was gone within 9 months (and not because she got pregnant!)...she just couldn't do the job. But it does suck and it's not fair, but sadly life is like that-way too much these days!

Hang in there! *hugs*

No, he managed a hotel briefly. Grr. But yes, he is a TOTAL suck up, kiss ass. He even admits he's like that with guests! And he's a loudmouth who thinks he's so funny. I hate his freaking guts. *cough*

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, I'm sorry about the job, hon. That sucks :(

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does. *hugs*
