Good grief shut UP already

Elaine, girl, I'm stoked that you're now showing cancer free and you're able to come back to work. However I do NOT feel sorry for you when it comes to several things:

• You got to list a job for help - for someone with my title and pay and you're pissing and moaning about not having "help" while you're not pushing to get the job filled that's been posted for months. You also were pissing and moaning that it's not exactly what you wanted to list. Bitch, at least you're getting SOMETHING while I've had no help and been underpaid for nearly a decade no matter how much I try to push, twist and prod to get my job improved. I swear you're not getting it filled because then you can't do the fainting couch routine


• You're complaining that the business people in other departments are now claiming that they don't "do" grant budgets and you're only an office of one. Yeah? So don't do their job and let their Chair know that you don't have the staff for it. "But what will haaaaaaappen if I don't do it for them?" Well I guess they won't get their money, now will they? Not your problem and don't MAKE it your problem or if you decide to make it your problem, don't whine at me about it. You chose it.


• You're complaining that you have to review my stuff now that they changed how things are processed. Ok? I offered to help pre-screen all of it for you and all you had to do is download and send me the three spreadsheets from the system since I don't have access. Oh but you can't DO that, can you? Because then you'd have nothing to whine about. Well fine. Shut the fuck up about it, then. After offering more than 10, yes TEN times, I said, "this is the last time I'm offering" and I meant it. Figure it out yourself and if it's wrong, well, guess what? Not my problem


• She whined this morning that I have my disability accommodation to work from home in the afternoon because she gets "bored" when I'm not there. Here's a thought, why don't you answer some damned emails or do some WORK in the afternoon, then? I get people complaining to me that you don't read their emails. Sorry, not her boss, not my issue. They complain to me because I screen emails efficiently and if I can't get an answer right away, I at least quickly respond that I've received your query and am looking into it. Working from home in the afternoon is about the only way I can be as productive as I am since I don't have you constantly yapping in my ear when I'm trying to get shit done.

Ok, that rant is out of the system. *cleansing breaths* Yeah, I'm still keeping an eye out for a better position but the listings are either several pay grades below or above what I do. So for now, I'm just staying under the radar-ish and doing my thing. I will be eligible for full retirement benefits around October 2027 so I want to stick around the University until then. At that point, I can start looking in the private sector since benefits will be secured.
