Pretty much.

I had a meeting at the end of June with the two people I emailed over this, and I was assured that under no circumstances would my room be entered without my permission.  Furthermore, I mentioned at that meeting that having an east-facing window, next to a main road, while working night shifts, was having a clearly obvious impact on my quality of sleep.  They promised to look into alternatives...then nothing.  I have all this in writing as well.

Throw on top of that the complete absence of management for the past two weeks and for at least the next two weeks, the refusal of the Head of Welfare and Boarding to attend meetings with staff, the ongoing clusterfuck that is "downsizing by attrition", no staff meetings since February and all the additional issues and...yeah.

I have my problems with my working environment, but this shit is criminal negligence and outright B&E.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I'm filling in a self appraisal form for work.

First three questions: Is your job description accurate? (No), Do you fully understand the requirements of your role? (No, because my role is not the job I signed up for) and Do you understand the objectives of your department? (No, because I don't understand my job role because my job description isn't accurate).

Off to a strong start.

The real way to handle those is to write yourself up as the next Jesus H Christ.  Those things are written to make people "be honest" (ie, slap themselves), so they don't have to give them a raise.

That shouldn't be too hard....Cara and myself basically do more work than the other three shifts put together.

That said, I'm strongly fighting the temptation to slap management in the comments I'm writing.

So.  My dad has skin cancer.

His prognosis is excellent, but still.

Oh, that sucks. Cancer is scary even when it's one of the easily-treated ones.

Yeah, and he's already had his quota of health scares this year.

I sorry to hear about your dad, Rog. I've lost a few relatives to cancer myself, and its a real shitshow. So here's hoping everything turns out okay for your dad.

Got a call at 6:30 this morning from my bosses's boss, demanding I come up with a solution for people walking into my flat.

Yes, this was after a full night shift, after disturbed sleep.

I was then simultaneously told that this is simply the cost of communal living (despite me living at three boarding houses before this without this sort of issue, and it not happening to anyone else, ever) and that if I don't like it I should just move out.

I may have hung up on him.
