Oh my god. How much do I hate my boss right now?

One of my friends and co-workers, Shelly, and I were feeling ultra pissed at our other co-worker, Kristen. She refuses to speak to Shelly, will walk away from Shelly as she (Shelly) is speaking, and leaves to go home without even telling us. We work in a scary neighborhood. How am I to know if she didn’t get accosted by some crazy person while she was out with a dog? Do I have to go check her goddamn time card if I want to know? And why should she get to decide what is and isn’t worth doing? She walks a few dogs and leaves. What about checking all of their water? And crating the dogs that need crating? And washing the dishes? And checking on the puppies? She refuses to work on the play group project with us, so why isn’t she doing these types of things while Shelly and I are working on the project?

My boss said to let her know if we ever have a problem with a fellow employee, because she’s the only one with the power to do anything about it. So I did. I wrote her a note about why I was frustrated with Kristen.

She wrote back two letters. The first said she’d look into it. The second said that W is leaving promptly at the check out time and that Shelly and I are leaving far too late. Of course, if there’s a problem with the written schedule, I should talk to her or Nora about it.

Fuck that.

I’m not talking to her about anything like this ever again. I’m glad I spoke to her about my health and current work (in)abilities. And I’ll barge in there with an attitude if there’s ever any problem with one of the dogs. Other than that, I’m going to try to be amiable but speak to her as little as possible.

My boss is simply not helpful, and I'm not just referring to this situation. She is always like this! "Come to me, except that I won't even attempt to fix anything.." She doesn’t understand the problem, and it’s not worth it to try any further with her, because she doesn't want to deal with any of it.

I am getting so sick of this emotional rollercoaster. Sunday, I couldn’t have been happier to be where I am. And now I just want to scream at everyone. My job is so damn confusing sometimes…
