All coming out I woke up this morning to snow. Yes, that white stuff that us here in England rarely see! It is so cold here too, I'm going out of the house wrapped up in bundles and bundles of clothes, hats, scarves and gloves. I'm absolutely frozen. My hair is all nice and tidy now, like I said just a quick cut to neaten up the ends. Looks much better now. Recruitment agency meeting went okay I suppose. After filling in 6 forms (yes, 6!) all just name, address, date of birth, am I looking for work (tick/not tick) I finally got round to doing a data entry test that I wasn't told about. I had 5 minutes to fill in as much detail as I could, which would have been fine had it not been done in capitals with the caps lock on. I made a few mistakes because I'm so used to writing normal in lower case that I kept hitting shift for the capitals needed. Grr. I don't actually know my score for the test and wasn't told, I was just ushered out to reception again so they could look over my filled-in forms. I felt the meeting was a bit rushed and that I was practically pushed out the door. I tried explaing certain things about jobs which she'd asked about but before I'd finished she was on to the next question after making notes. The wrong notes. I corrected her so many times I felt quite pushy myself! Well if she didn't know the facts how could she find me a job I would actually like? Had a couple of text messages from the receptionist today asking what I thought about the girl "temping" there. Think she is missing someone to bitch too as the new girl gets on pretty well with the temp girl. She also said that the temp girl is now the golden girl of the office and has been bought her very own personal printer and telephone headset, oh and is being flown to the company head office in Ireland next week! How long has she been there, all of a few weeks? I replied saying I didn't really want to say what I thought about it all, that the girl is obviously doing well and staying on permanently. Everyone at the head office already seems to worship the ground she walks on anyway. I also added that I think this whole thing was planned and that I'm rather annoyed by the way I was treated. Later she replied that she felt she had been tactless and that it was all getting to her. This girl was wonderful and everyone was salivating over her. I just explained that it was fine, she didn't hurt my feelings and that I'm just angry the company got rid of me and another young boy from the office but turned around and got this girl in. this coming from a company who is supposed to be having money troubles. I feel (and Mark thinks so too) that it has all been planned. This girl supposedly left her job when she got back from Thailand at the beginning of the year. She just walked out... and straight in to this one? She wouldn't leave unless she had something to fall back on. And why would she get taken to meet the big players in the company if she wasn't hanging around for a while. I once felt fine towards the company. Thinking that what was obviously done had to be done for the good of the company. Wrong place wrong time. It is the way life is and I was just unlucky. This has now turned to hatred towards the people I used to like and worked with. I don't like the way I was treated. I feel like I was pushed out of the door just to get this piece of totty to walk right in and rule the office and mens hearts. I'm angry. I'm upset. I definitely won't be walking in to that office again anytime soon that's for sure. |
