Good News for Once. :)

My hubby just e-mailed me to tell me that the first boss I had at the job I’m currently at (I’ve had three) is really unhappy with what’s going on with my new boss. He’s stepping in to meet with him today about me. This could turn out to be really good. A big part of what he’s upset about is that I’ve taken on a lot of responsibility and have seen very little increase in pay. This has been a sore spot with me for awhile. I don’t care who knows what I make per year, it’s about $24,000. It’s pathetic, I take home $400.00 per week and that is only about 80 dollars more per week than I was making working at Ames (a department store) close to 5 years ago and I do a hell of a lot more work where I am now, and I put up with a hell of a lot more bullshit. Granted I don’t have a degree, but after nearly 5 years I should still be making a heck of a lot more than 24k a year.

My first boss is also showing my new boss how to do some of what I do because Marlene is getting bitchy and impatient. So now my new boss has to deal with Marlene and update the directory while I’m out. He can see the shit I put up with from that bitch.

I was so overwhelmed with emotion when I heard my first boss there was taking a stand for me without me even asking him to. It’s just that, so often I feel so alone and so unloved. I feel loved and cared about right now and that makes me happy. I guess it’s true that you really find out who your friends are when times are really rough. A true friend is someone who loves you when you’re unloveable, who helps you stand up when you can’t stand up on your own.

I can’t wait to go to therapy on Friday. I have so many things to talk to my therapist about this week, I don’t know if 45 minutes will be long enough!!
