More Work Stuff(Sorry if tales of my life as a tiny cog in the corporate wheel are boring, but I just need to get this stuff out sometimes.)I had a shocking experience at work today. The mail clerk came by delivering packages as he does, and he had one for me. It's not unusual for me to get a package, but they usually contain boring things like insurance applications and company financial statements. But today it was a box from a "gift company." I opened it and looked at the little invoice in it, and it was from... The Evil Branch Manager!!! No kidding. The note said, "Thank you for all your hard work and best of luck in your new position." I said, "Knock me over with a feather!" It was a little paperweight kind of thing with a four leafed clover in glass, you know, a dust collecting tchotchke, but I was really pleased that the Evil Branch Manager actually did something nice for once. Wow.Regarding my new job: I move to a new cubicle tomorrow. And I don't really know anything else. There has been a tremendous lack of communication about the whole thing, and it's gotten me really angry so today I went and had it out with the HR manager. Fortunately, I didn't go off or anything, but I did make my feelings known, and she apologized and said that the reason for this was that our branch manager is involved and she has been out of the office. Of course, I also discussed that there should be someone else I could speak with when the manager's not around. I mean, the whole thing has been handled very irregularly. So anyway, the branch manager is going to be back tomorrow and I have a meeting with her. I hope it goes well. I just want a little money. At least I have a new paperweight.In other career news, I sent a cover letter and resume for a corporate library assistant job I saw on a website. The listing said it required an MLS or equivalent experience, but I applied anyway. They were hiring for a non-MLS position a few months ago so I figure it won't hurt for them to keep my resume on file if something like that comes up again. I know I'll probably just get a kiss-off letter and never hear from them or get no letter and never hear from them, but it's good to keep trying, right?Labels: library science, work posted by Miss Rachel 2/07/2007 05:58:00 PM . . .
