Just Surviving

I call it just surviving because that's how I feel at the moment.

My ex-boss is very short with me. She wants to leave and the company won't let her. It's a bit unfair and she's getting frustrated. But she's taking it out on me. Well. She's probably taking it out on lots of others as well, but she expects me to support her and I'm trying to support myself. I mean, she wanted to pass out my login details to other people. When I objected, she went mental with me about trying to keep things too close to my chest. Hey! If they make a mistake, it gets my name against it, without even thinking of malicious dealings. So, as I said. Just surviving.

In fact, it seems, lately, that there has been a shift in attitudes towards me. It seems as if she's hiding something, like I'm no longer wanted and they haven't got the decency to tell me.

It all started when I refused to go to a farewell dinner. I was accused of not being a team player, just because I wanted to spend time with my family! OK, so it was my boss who was leaving. But, to be honest, I just didn't have the energy. Plus, of course, there was my family to think about.

I believe that we need to put first things first. Work is essential. But all the money in the world won't buy a happy homelife.
