Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate!

I hate it when certain people are notorious for picking apart every single sentence of yours, and responding to it. If you do it every once in awhile, I don't mind, but if you make a habit out of it, I wont even bother reading your responses.

I hate that I've been sitting on hold with my college's financial aid office for 40 ****ing minutes.

I hate waiting in offices for ridiculous amounts of time as well.

The worst part is they never actually answer my question. It's the same BS about pending refunds and bank policies and blah blah blah.

I hate it when you can't save someone from themselves.

I hate that a job that I applied for wasn't actually what I just interviewed for.

The description said 'answering phones, customer questions and being responsible for updating billing'. But when I went to the interview, the job suddenly became: 'responsible for hiring, training new employees, and bolstering employee morale through group huddles.' WTF??

Alright, that's awesome.

Dude, take the job. It sounds like all you have to do is hire people, throw pizza parties, and tell people about casual Fridays. Sounds easy.

 

[wiegeabo]

Sounds like a better paying job too, since it seems to have more responsibilities

Man, if only it were that easy! I was also told I would have to create Power Point projects for the managers, schedule their meetings, post memos, answer the manager's email communications and contact HR on their behalf, which I was expecting from the description.

But I would also have to travel to a completely different part of the state for a week for training and learning corporate procedures. Then I will be tested on them. The job is for a well known grocery chain. I have the clerical experience, but don't know about all the rest...

That sounds really suckworthy. It's quite a different job in my ears.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, I understand. Having a job with responsibilities that you just weren't prepared for. It sucks and if you can't catch on right away you may find yourself out of a job again. Out of the frying pan, into the fire and all that.

Maybe you'll excel at it, maybe you'll fail........good luck with that?

I wanted to have some kinda encouragement or something at the end here, but.....I got nothin'.

They are union, so the pay would be good.

But I just don't know if I can do the 'people' management. I have the secretary experience, but am unsure about the rest.

Just make sure to wear suspenders and always have a coffee mug in your hand, and go around asking "what's happening". People love that kinda thing.

I hate that every job I apply for seems to go through an agency.

Basically, 4 times now, this happens - I apply for an admin/receptionist/customer service job online, I get a phone call from some lady at a recruitment agency that's dealing with the job, and she tries to convince me to take a sales position she has instead because that's where my experience is.

I don't want to be in telesales anymore! I just want to apply for the damn job I applied for. Why is that so hard?

 

[TinkTonks]

Yeah, it does to me too.

I've gone that route with a job once. That's how I am currently jobless in the first place!

LOL! Thanks for trying, anyway! t:

Ugh, that sucks! I had an interview for an inventory specialist back in April, but when I got there they told me that job had never been available. But they did have cashier available and it would be a good fit since I've worked retail for 7 years. It can be hard to break out of a mold when that's all the experience you have. I tried it once and bombed fantastically, lol! I hope you have better luck!

I hate goodbyes. Tomorrow is my last day at this crappy job and I'm not looking forward to going around saying goodbye to everyone. If I hated everyone here it wouldn't be a problem but the only good thing about this job are the people I work with.

I hate that I've been sitting on hold with my college's financial aid office for 40 ****ing minutes.

Ditto...and I hate the issue I'm currently facing...the financial aid wants me to pay and take some of the responsibility for a mistake they made.

I've been told by certain individuals (other financial aid people from the same office) and I've exclaimed to the individuals I'm working with...I didn't create this issue, its not my responsibility...

 

[redmarvel]

I hate it when people in cars honk at other people driving who did the right thing!!!

Case in point. Earlier this week I was waiting to cross the street (East - West), when the light turned yellow (South - North). A lady in a van stopped behind the line while it was still yellow and they guy behind her honked because she stopped on the yellow. News flash fella, she was obeying the law which states "You are REQUIRED to stop on a yellow if it is safe to do so".

Today an even worse one happened, I was crossing on a green and people were crossing toward me, a car wanting to turn into our path stopped, the guy in the big, black truck behind him honked. What did he want the car driver to do, run over pedestrians?

 

[wiegeabo]

oh geez, thanks for reminding me about the idiots on the road yesterday.

I was in the right lane on the freeway, and a guy cuts right in front of me to make his exit at the last second. And by cut, I mean drift right past me because we were AT the exit. Best part, there was no one ****ing behind me! At all! It was that damned important to save 1.5 seconds?!

 

[E-Man]

I hate that you used this old ass meme!

*continues to prove the meme accurate by hating*

It shouldn't be this hard, especially because my previous job wasn't JUST sales. I was also receptionist, did the banking and filing. There were only two of us in the office and so we just basically filled every office role.

But I guess sales jobs are the ones they wanna get rid of because no one wants them, so when they see a CV come in with 'Advertisement sales executive for 3 and a half years' come in, they immediately start thinking of all the sales jobs they could put me forward for.

I guess I just gotta be more forceful.
