call me lazarus

sorry folks...its really been a while. can't say that there's any real reason, i've just been really overwhelmed with work.
technically i'm a supervisor now because for half the day i supervise two temps that come in and do the data entry for account production. i say technically because my supervisor status doesn't actually extend any further than the temps.
as far as the customer service part of my job, technically i'm only a customer service rep...i'm not even like, a senior rep or anything like that. in reality though, i am the supervisor. i take supervisor calls, people approach me with questions that would otherwise go to our manager, the manager who told me that she would have made me a supervisor if i wasn't leaving in july.
what does this all really amount to? all it really means is that the people here who technically have seniority over me spend a lot of time resenting me because i'm their superior, but still giving me shit because i don't have the actual title that makes me their superior.
i hate office politics. which brings me immediately to my next point...I'M LEAVING IN JULY!
that's right, the rob & suz trans-continental journey is set to begin sometime in the middle of july.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
do you know how many loose ends i need to tie up before then? answer: a couple, and at least two of them involve spending a lot of money, money that i don't want to spend.
i hate money, i hate working, i hate the grinding monotony of everyday life...but you're probably saying to yourself, "rob, you say that in every post."
yes, this may be true, but i'm saying it now with a glimmer of hope. its coming to an end...at least this seemingly endless string of struggles is coming to an end.
and you know what, i hope this one gives way to a whole mess-load of seemingly endless struggles, because the struggles that lay ahead of me are at least the kind that i want to deal with.
so whatever, i'm back, but don't get too excited yet. i'm up to my right testicle in bullshit at work, so that means i don't have time to do things like, check my e-mail, post on my blog, or do anything that involves anything besides work.
when we live in the city, i promise we will have an internet connection.
love you all,
lazarus
