Just Pass Me By

Don’t honk, don’t cut me off, just pass me by!

 

Give me a break

I am so frustrated with my job. I am not really frustrated with the hours at work although last week I got 20 hours and this week I got 30 hours, but that because I was just being slow today. I am the type of person who believes that certain things in life should be keep private! I don’t believe in forcing my religion on people but I don’t have a problem with people sharing or me sharing with them. I get a long with just about everyone there. Not a problem. I have decided while working there I would just take Fridays off while in College, but once I can find a better job I will probably work my 40 hours. I don’t know, I sure haven’t work many hours and most my free time is spent on homework.
I was at my work station today, doing my job. I can’t walk, stand, or carry more then 5 pounds. So I am lucky my supervisor is keeping me there right now, since a good portion of the work requires standing and a even better portion requires being able to carry at least 35 pounds from one place to the next. I don’t have a problem with this neither when I am healthy, and everyone has been helping get me the things I need.
So what am I frustrated with, I feel there is sexual harassment there. I don’t feel anyone but me see anything wrong with it, because everyone jokes about it but me, and well I feel uncomfortable. Telling them to not do it, I get responses of turn up your music. Why do I need to hear about people sex life married or single, why must I know how many times in someone marriage they been with their wife or have to hear that question being asked of that person. I just think stuff in the bedroom between a man and woman aught to stay there! Within the last couple of months I said something like, it smells like permanent marker. The guy who works near us said it was his stuff, and I said thanks for sharing. Then he told me I should see his underwear. I wasn’t sure how to respond other then no thank you but I felt annoyed by it and turned up my radio as loud as I could with out hurting my ears because they just kept carrying on.
I don’t know if I am right in feeling annoyed by some of their discussion, and honestly I would talk to my company who placed me, but I don’t want to cause trouble or end up being with out a job. I don’t have a problem with the people I work with other then some of the topics of discussion but when some of the managers speak or act the same way it doesn’t do any good to say anything because then I just look like the squicky wheel.
I don’t mind hearing about going out with people, having fun, but there are just some subjects that aren’t meant to be asked about. It’s not like asking if they haveauto insurance.

Oh my!

I started back to school last week. Oh my, I am almost overwhelmed with homework. I am taking the flex net class from the UOP here in Minneapolis. I do have to say I am proud of myself, I passed my first quiz with flying colors. I am taking accounting 300 right now. I like my professor on both a academic and personal level. We have a lot in common by her personal sharing at our first night of class.
I have a very mild form of dyslexia, so normally I let professors know about it. I don’t need any special attention since I have learned how to deal with it. My first year back to college at the UOP my husband tutored me in English, and taught me alot, and what he taught me has actually stuck for the most. I can find my errors most of the time by myself unless we are talking about the sound a like words. I get those confused or mixed up. I wish Microsoft Word would have a feature for those of us with this problem, that it would pick up on wrong words even though it is spelled correctly.
No one better tell me my program isn’t valid or real or they might get to see all the homework I do in the week, along with the online participation. I get home from work at around 3ish, and then go straight to homework, most of the time I am not out of the office until about 6 to 7pm. Hubby doesn’t care if dinner later but I do.
I know one thing I will never be an accountant, because i can never remember to balance transfer from one thing to the next. Try getting a balance sheet to flow correctly when you keep forgetting to subtract what been spent for supplies. I still don’t get how buying a property that is owed on is still a asset, or even how it gives value to the assets, because it clearly not really the company since the lender gets to take it if payments get defaulted. Well I know what expected so I will continue doing what I know.
I am proud of myself for how well I did on the quiz, now hopefully I can improve more on my responses to Questions and homework assignments. I think this is the first class I have spent so much time on discussion questions.
