I really hate my job. I really do. I hate how I never feel relevant there. I work with my city's animal shelter as an intern working under the Volunteer Coordinator/Community Outreach supervior. She gives me jobs to do around the shelter, help her out, etc. It was all fine during the summer but my internship ended in August and I had to go back to school and get settled before I returned. Anyways I go back late Oct and ever since I came back, I just don't feel as relevant as I did back in the summer. I only worked twice a week now. Anyways, back to reasons why I hate my job:
1. My boss is NEVER there
My boss is never there, it's so annoying. And when she is at work, I always have to find her because she is NEVER in her office. She'll give me a job to do, I finish it and go to her office...gone. One time she told me to find these plastic things, I leave for TWO MINUTES...maybe even less and I go back to her office...gone!
2. Nothing to do
I feel like I'm getting paid to do nothing and while other people might like that, I kind of don't. It's not like I feel bad about it or anything, but it goes back to the relevancy of my job. There's is nothing to do for me to do on my own w/o having my supervisor providing me a job.
3. The people
I get really annoyed by some of the people at my job. There's some that are cool like the volunteers and some of the animal control officers and sometimes my supervisor. But other than that, I cannot stand those people. You got animal obsessed volunteers that baby talk to animals and it is SO annoying!
4. My boss
She can be really cool and nice at times. Some times she does things that annoy me! Like last week she was chit chatting up a storm with some volunteer and I had finished with what she had wanted me to do, so I go to hallway where she is talking and wait till she finished talking. She saw me right in the corner because she looked at me but kept talking. So I waited and then she was done....but she walked away! Totally disregarded me! I'm like "WTF? Is she serious? She did not just do that!" I was so mad that she did that. She saw me and still walked away.
5. Days I work
I work on Tuesdays after school and on Saturdays. Saturdays I could not stand. I didn't mind that much working on a Saturday(11-4) so I never did anything during those hours at home anyways. But then my boss just stopped coming in on Saturdays. But I still showed up-on time- and expected her to be there. Once I realized that she might not work on Saturdays anymore, I stopped coming in for 2 weeks. But surprisingly one Saturday 2 weeks ago she was there(when I wasn't!) and on Tuesday she asked me where I was . I didn't get in trouble but I thought that was weird. So then that following Saturday(last Sat) I wake up and go to work thinking she's gonna be there. EHH! WRONG AGAIN! Not there. This past Tues, after 4-5 weeks of not being there on Saturdays, she finally told me that she doesn't work Saturdays anymore. Really? After a month of not working there, thats when you finally tell me? OH AND THEN...she wants me to work Sundays. I'm like what? I rather waste my Saturday than my Sundays. I don't know about you but Sundays are ME DAYS, my time. My time to lie in and watch tv, go to the mall with my mom or run errands. I'm going in tomorrow but I'm just gonna let her know that Sundays are bad for me. I can't do.
Now you may ask "Why don't you quit your job?" As much as I hate my job, I'm not gonna quit because the city pays me to damn good. $12/hr. Why quit this quit and go work somewhere that pays me $8.50/hr? Uh I don't think so. Besides when my internship runs off(whenever that is) then I will have to do that, but now $12/hr is my kind of pay.
