You don't have to listen to them about how bad it was when I went on my mega weekend or how he begged when I told him I was calling out as he offered to move me
I told him I wanted it in writing! But then I have also said never owe the people under you anything to them
I am just so tired of hearing them talk about bales and how they will chip in it one needs to be made [I never see it and I had to teach people it's easy} Or Top Stock issues or stocking issues
Inventory is less than a month away and I am beyond giddy know it's going to be bad and the chaos that follows
I have a feeling because I said I was calling out and did they will talk to me when I go back

I can feel a panic attack building for when I start my new job in August. I haven't worked Since October and I've spent almost all of the time wasting time and being depressed. I have a really hard time imagining going back to work, especially to a call center job. The training starts very early in the morning and I am not a morning person so I am dreading starting the training which is going to last for 9 weeks.
I'm not sure what to do. I don't really have a choice but I know the closer it gets to August the worse it will get.

It's really looking like I'm going to have to either find a different job or a different position within this company if I want to get away from my "I'm the only one who is good at this, and everybody now habitually uses me as a crutch" problem.
Unless the way too fucking chatty new person winds up training elsewhere sometime soon, I am going to lose my damn mind. Their first question of the day today was "this number on the machine has to be .25 for this run, how do I do that?" And right in front of them on the screen was The Current Value of .21, right next to a little box where they could input how much they want to add to that if they want to.
...the solution for that is obvious, right? I'm not getting frustrated with people not being able to problem solve for no reason, right?

The job hunt continues.
However, today I spotted that the Customer Information Specialist position with King County Metro that applied to, and got an interview for earlier this yeah has popped up again. I immediately applied again after reworking my cover letter a bit more. I am, of course, excited all over again even though the application period doesn't close for another 2 weeks (and then the inevitable testing and review period).
I am absolutely going to get my hopes up again, but I actually really want this one.

I didn't want to say anything last time so as not to be a downer, but as I understand it, it's very common for civil service jobs to make people go through the application process multiple times.
I don't know why, but I've seen it happen in enough different places to have learned it's A Thing.
Hopefully this place is smart enough to snap you up on the second application!

It's a thing because the civil service hiring process is generally very rigid. You have to reach a certain threshold to pass each step, and the agency can only advance a certain number of candidates through each step of the process. Once you get to final selections they send an offer to the first pick who has so long to decide with the civil agency generally very rigid in what it can offer. If the first pick doesn't take the offer it goes to the second, then the third who may have already taken a job elsewhere already. You run out of final candidates and the only thing the agency can do is restart from the beginning.
I probably should have said something a week ago, but there's enough people in the space here that if any of y'all are at the ISTE Live convention in Denver this week and want to say hi at the convention center or one of the related events feel free to hit me up in DMs.

So I took last week off from doing my ACT tutoring for a myriad of reasons.
I am still in the learning phase of my new job, I was going straight from finishing a previous bootcamp and going right into this new one, we were doing a total of three per week, and it was math week. And in case ya'll haven't noticed, math ain't my forte. I can do algebra fine but when you start explaining trig or geometry I start seeking a quick death.
I came back today and it was a good session. It was reading, one of my favorite sessions to do because I teach the kids about active reading, a skill they can use for the rest of their lives.
The kids were happy to see me, asked if I was gonna be there for next week, and shared stories about how uh....frankly awful their school is for preparing them for this shit. Apparently the school had paid for its own ACT bootcamp that featured influencers giving such great test hacks like "have some peppermint on hand so you don't fall asleep."
Any way, it continues to fill me with such joy every time they say they learned something, they appreciate my class, and they like my teaching. I cannot wait to hear how they do on the test.

Next semester is going to be tough.
My 0.4 position for student coordinator hasn’t been backfilled, we’ve had two English leave and someone from hass has left too. We’ve advertised the positions so far and have gotten crickets. So next semester seems like it’s going to have a lot of internal relief which doesn’t seem fun.
