A mini update on me if anyones interested

HatTrick, 10 December, 2009 at 23:53 Posted on Planning 0 19

I walked out of my job on Monday!! As soon as I woke up Monday morning I knew it was going to be an eventful day. Boss had been bullying me in front of everyone all day on Thursday and I'd worked myself up over it all weekend. So I basically packed my stuff away, told her to stick the job and politely asked her to move her car as she was blocking me in ? It was the best feeling I've had in a LONG time. I should have done it months ago. I've left them with soooooooo much work to, I did nothing all through November apart from browse hitched.

My nan has improved a lot. She is now taking trips to the shops and walking around, when she was first diagnosed she was struggling to get up from the sofa. Obviously there is no cure, but the operation she had in Sept to unblock the duct in her liver has made her feel a lot better. I hope with all my heart that she continues to feel better.

I had a hair trial today, and love it, so thats one drama out the way. BM dresses are ordered (lightinthebox) and I brought some artificial flowers to do a mock up of the table centres (I brought huge martini vases a few months ago) and they look fab so that's another weight off my mind. Also have suits sorted.

So things are looking much better for me, I haven't been on here much as I have been so busy. It's hard work now that I am a lady of leisure ?

    Sorry to hear your Nan has been ill but pleased she's feeling a little better. Well done for taking a stance with your boss - no one deserves to be bullied at work. Agreed, that the new year should be a fresh start - onwards & upwards! ?x

    Wow thats great!!! I bet you felt so good leaving your nasty boss in the lurch! My boss was bullying me a few years ago and I wish I had had the courage to tell him to get lost (ended up in the looney bin for a spell instead..oops!)

    what are you going to do now? apart from some hardcore hitching ?

    Well I have another part time job, so I'm sure they'll find me some extra shifts. Old job are paying me in full till end of Dec, and will also tell insurance I was made redundant so that I can get the deposit back from the venue that we had booked for Sept. (I probably would have been made redundant at the end of Dec anyway so not really a fib)

    Moya: heres the BM dress, only it will be midnight blue with an ivory sash. I hope they turn out ok as I won't have time to get any other dresses!!


    Thanks for your kind words everyone xx

    Hi Moonpig, sorry I'm a bit late to this one (as usual...) first of all well done you! it takes a lot of guts to stand up to someone and make that step, I wish I could do it but I'm too scared I won't find another job and I bring in the main income in the house so we will be in deep s**t if I lost my job - must be a bit weight off your shoulders, no wonder you've found extra energy for WP.

    Glad to hear your nan is feeling a bit better now as well - looks like things are starting to look a bit more positive towards the new year - best of luck x

    No I didnt get a pic of my hair. It was some up and some down but I decided I didnt like it, so she just scraped back the hair that was down so that I could roughly see what it would look like all back, and it's much much better. So will have a proper trial maybe next week. My cousins doing it (she's a hairdresser), so I find it much more relaxed than going into a salon. It's also much more easier to say ARRRR I hate it!!!

    Tango: I earn the most too so it was very scary, and it has been going on for almost 7 months now. But I got to the point where I was coming home upset almost every night and thought I'd rather live in poverty than be depressed because of work! It's worked out ok though, I am waiting to hear back from a job which will be working from home, less hours and more money so fingers crossed! When I went to the director and told him about my manager bullying me, he called 3 people into the office and asked them if it was true, one person backed me up 100% and he said that's not good enough?? The other 2 were too scared as she also bullies her. So I just left, what hope is there if the directors wont even act when you are being bullied??

    Anyway... rant over ?
