Hey Guys,
Well I am writing my letter of resignation this morning for work... I want to stay there cause there are the drivers on my break that are really awesome (shoosh but I work for JD Hickman at the mo) and they make me laugh and feel like a normal person but I feel like I am treated like crap in the office... Money wise we are losing out - after childcare and petrol we lose about $15 a week which isnt much but there are going to be 6- 8 weeks where we won't be paid from Fonterra (GRRR jax!!!) so we need to be saving money not spending it... Anyway just letting you guys know that I will be on here more and more and my mini rant is over!! ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

Halls? Who on earth are Halls? Sorry Roksana ! 
When I try to explain what I do it can get quite complicated and / or boring, so in a nutshell I take phone calls from cow cockies ! I'm in the 'Milk Supply Service Centre' and we do a lot of different things, could write a novel (but won't !) ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Well in about an hour and a half I am going to be walking into my managers office and telling her that YES I am resigning and that my mind is made up...
I feel bad for the fact that the girl that I work with (we job share) will have to take on my load until they find / train someone and frankly (not being up my self) I have taken on the majority of her work and she has taken on a few other roles (banking, accounts etc) so I can see her getting stressed and she is a friend of mine so feel bad in that sense but she understands why I am resigning... Now to go face the "Gremlin" ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

Good luck Lena. Be firm but polite as you do not want to part on bad terms (I learnt this the hard way when I had a very difficult boss). ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Well it's done... the boss tried to give me a guilt trip and said that they wouldnt be able to find someone in 2 weeks (my period of notice) and if I could work longer... I said 3 weeks max to start off with and have now realised that I have told daycare when Arna's last day is... thankfully it was verbal so I can retract. (my notice not daycare!!)
So... two weeks today is my last day YIPEE ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

Disgraced !? That's a really awful thing to say !! 
dis·grace ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ds-grs) n. 1. Loss of honor, respect, or reputation; shame. 2. The condition of being strongly and generally disapproved. tr.v. dis·graced, dis·grac·ing, dis·grac·es 1. To bring shame or dishonor on: disgraced the entire community. (Courtesy of http://www.dictionary.com - dictionary.com ) To be honest, your boss sounds like a b*tch and I'm glad you left !! Deep down I can guarantee you she's jealous, and knows you'll end up moving on to something heaps better  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

EDIT: She actually said disapointed!!! LOL... I was sitting here at the computer trying to remember and I had told SO many people about and still got it confused!! Haha... but she is giving me the silent treatment and all the cr*p jobs and my supervisor (the chic I help out) had a "word" to my boss and sh*t hit the fan!! ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">
