moving on

September 24th, 2020 at 03:16 am

i have had the opportunity to change jobs as i usually take temp assignments that end and i can find a spot in a different industry or setting.
I was talking with a friend recently and we spoke of changing jobs she never has spending many years working at the same company sure at different levels but basically the same place.
I did that early on and I was so glad to leave and found far more fascinating work.

I am just curious as to what is the decision to leave for many people. I cannot seem to find a reason to Stay anywhere had plenty of offers but i think if i am not semi happy about the work or proud of the company etc i have a hard time trying to stay.

I asked my friend what would you do if you drove to your work and saw the whole thing in flames what would be the first thing that crosses your mind...

1. unemployment or working at alternate site until rebuilt?
2. finding something else?

3. cartwheels that it has finally ended .....


she laughed and said #1 and that is when I realized I am at a #3 at my current place.

I feel bad in a way that i took it upon myself to learn far more then they expected because their version of the job was not enough work and super boring..... but now i see i just cant see myself here much longer.

I was wondering what moments other had that just said time to go.....

need motivation again

well it took a month but i finally received my refund from item i ordered but they never delivered.

Still never found any help with IRS to tell me why we never received any stimulus check. I guess i will deal with it in spring when I do taxes. I really wonder if many of these checks (prepaid card) went missing.

I keep fighting my urge to give notice. I met the 1 year contract date and have been offered new positions that sound more interesting work situations but the money is about $5 an hour lower. I had to go in 3 times this week and the new hoops they want us to do are IMO ridiculous. I need to reserve MY own desk in an app as a way they track how many people are coming on site. we have been asked by security if we feel ok and if we had any contact with someone with any symptoms and have temp taken which is not fool proof since many with it never had a fever now they want us to fill out a 15 question survey every day we show up on computer then show guard we did it.
It is so over the top for the fact this area has very few cases and not a problem. Seems super late to implement this i could have seen it in may but now seems like only keeping score in the last quarter.

Again a meeting pushing us but trying to make it seem like it was our idea to load these various apps on our own personal phone......
NO thanks I do not use my phone or my printer etc for their business.
I am amazed at how many people seem willing to do that. The team knows if they said we had to they would need to reimburse us for use of our personal phone so they just nudge some to do it on their own.


I have beefed up my cash position and recently made some investment changes that have worked out very well. I just cannot stay motivated to just sock away savings or contributions. I think it is actually easier and more inspiring to watch debt fall then just adding to accounts.

i need to just bite the bullet and leave or find a reason to stay by creating better goals since i keep reaching the ones I set


phone call day

September 2nd, 2020 at 07:25 pm

so i have been putting off some items simply because i have no desire to get stuff done lately

an item i ordered 6 weeks ago that has 2-3 day shipping still a problem when i called them before a week after product was due it was a nightmare with customer service person just insisted NOTHING could be done UNLESS i give them my email.
so a month later no refund and no product ..... i called again In their time frame for customer service listed and just got a voicemail i asked for call back but nothing so far,

next call to IRS since the where is my payment site keeps telling me ... no match for both mine and husbands info .... the phone # given gets you to a call center that can take NO personal information they basically just read the answers from the FAQ page on the website....
i explained i needed to talk to a person to find out why they say no match even though our taxes for last few years were processed no problems.

they transferred me.... went through many press 1 press 2 etc prompts only to be hung up on.

i have a few more calls to make but this has been a very frustrating morning.
