Just a brief update ….

I was moved to another department at work and, frankly, I am loathing it.  While my previous position involved maybe 50% of my time each week doing cold-calling and the remainder on confirming and rescheduling appointments, my new position is 100% cold-calling.  Additionally it is more sales oriented which requires me to be more pushy – not something I am particularly good at despite my ability in telemarketing.  And then there’s the aspect of having a touch of moral ambiguity about what we are pushing to begin with.

There are positives, or more accurately the potential for them.  The main one being that if this works out that I can be looking at bonuses and comission on top of my current hourly wage.  My husband insists that as they will be looking for a supervisor for this department as time goes on that I’d be “perfect” in that capacity.  But, right now things are very disorganized and I feel as if I lack the tools to do the job.  If I worked for a “real company” I wouldn’t be so stressed about it.  Unfortunately, my company has a history of having unrealistic expectations, giving no support, and then punishing the worker for failing to excel.  One shining example of this is that most mornings you will see people hunting to find a phone … again we are a telemarketing company, doesn’t logic dictate that every desk should have a phone?

Right now, the stress involved in all of this is frankly robbing me of any kind of inspiration to do anything at all.  I’ve spent both evenings so far this week mindlessly surfing the internet while half-watching television, that is when I’m not researching said new project to try and give myself the tools my employer has failed to.  Needless to say, I feel another blogging slump coming on; but, I shall try very hard to keep your regularly schedule programming fresh and up to date.

Anyway, enough about me.

Lady Rose is continuing to do well.  The side effects from the complications she suffered are fading and she has finally gotten rid of the fluid she was initially retaining.  She was even feeling well enough to plan a trip out to her local health food store to pick up some items for the weeks ahead.  I encourage you to go over to her other blog and leave words of encouragement.

Blessings
