Preface: In a recent post, I wrote that when I was at college and needed to really talk but had no one to talk to, I would go talk to the university's chapel. Now, I think I'll just use this blog to write out all the frustrations in my life. Well not all of them, but at least some.
Parents just don't understand. Recently, I took a voluntary demotion at work. Since the demotion, all I have heard was crap from Mom. She doesn't understand why I stepped down.
The official reason I stepped down doesn't exactly match some of the reasons that I chose to step down. Instead of making a Declaration of Independence type of laundry list of wrong doings by "King George", I chose to take the higher route and said I was working on concentrating on another aspect of my life, which isn't necessarily untrue.
Some people, know the laundry list of wrong doings that encouraged me to step down, my mother being one of them.
What she can't seem to grasp is that the boss doesn't like me, it is not my fault. Sure, I don't like him, at risk of sounding childish though, he started it.
Now, some of the things I literally begged for are being implemented. The training I asked for is now mandatory, the increase of hours I pleaded over and over for was given to my replacement as soon as she asked for them.
I tell Mom the news, expecting her to hear me out, and she starts lecturing me that I should ask for my old position back and that I shouldn't let my feelings about the boss get in the way.
I grumbled, left the room, and wonder what is she missing. I was basically put through an unnecessary hell for the past few months because of office politics.
I'm done venting for now.
