30 Something

I've always known that my coworkers were backstabbers and my boss was as fickle as they come, but it's bad when they always cry "teamwork" and smile in your face. Not only did my secretary stab me in the back and try to get me into trouble, but also the lazy, insecure, Penny. Immediately after my quicky with Mister I went to work to type up my two weeks notice and turn it in. I was going to be rude and turn it into human resources and not tell my boss, but I wanted to go out without any bad feelings so I left her a quick e-mail. My boss called a meeting for Thursday. Of course Mere was thinking that the meeting was going to be about my resignation, but my boss didn't mention a thing to them. She just went on about the meeting and not only did she take her my job of talking about the fall welcome without me (she put me in charge of it, so why was she having a meeting about it without me being there. Not only that, but she told me that I had to do everything, I couldn't delegate task to no one) I digress. But she had this meeting about the fall welcome without me and she was making plans for me for the fall. The whole time Mere was laughing becuase she knew that I had turned in my resignation and that my boss knew that I turned it in, so she was just faking the meeting. During the meeting they talked about the activities for the day and Penny blurts out a snide comment about me telling her that I told her that I didn't care what workshop she did, but just to plan one. Ugh, that was not necessary. I shouldn't have to tell you want type of workshop to plan. Any fall welcome that we've plannned required everyone to come up with their own workshop. She was trying to make me look bad, but I'm sure that's going to come back on her because later on Mere told me that one of her students came into the office complaining about Penny and they way that she handles students. So she's trying to make me look bad, but none of my students want to be assigned to her. They hate her.

Later on in the day, Mere told me that my boss walks into her office and closes the door and says, "there has been a resignation, it's not me or Penny" Mere said that she was tripping because she was beaing around the bush. That only leaves me so why not just say that I turned in my resignation? What's all the faking about. She then goes on to tell Mere that she knew that I was resigning because she had been getting phone calls. I was shocked. My boss in not one of my references. Why is she being called when I especially put on every application that ask, do not contact my current employer. However, she went on to encourage Mere taht they would have to pull together since they are going to be so shorthanded--the secretary is retiring also. After my boss left Mere said the Penny came into her office trying to get info on why I was leaving and where I was going. Mere wouldn't say a word. She said the Penny kept saying that I was unhappy and that there have been problems. She was fishing for details.

All in all, I'm so happy to be leaving. Of course my new job will require me to actually work, but I love what I do and I"m sure I will love it there. I do however, know that there are backstabbers everywhere I will go, so I'm going to have to deal with it and I will.
