@Lina: How have you been? I feel like we haven't chatted in a little bit.

@Totalanimefan: Thanks, it's law office downtown so I'm not sure what expect. I'm actually surprised they called me back lol
@Lilykin: Oh law offices can be good jobs to work in! I feel like the pay isn't bad there either.
@Totalanimefan: I told them my last job payed $12/hr and was looking for similar and they still scheduled the interview so I'm hopeful
@Lilykin: Sounds good. Where you happy with $12 an hour.
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, where I live in the boonies that's the best you can expect without a degree or being in management. It was enough to cover my bills so that was nice
@Totalanimefan: I’ve been good. What about you?
I think we keep missing each other. >.<

-Any odds are good odds for the damned-
@Lilykin: I hope you get the job then! ^^
@Lina: lol we do. I’ve been busy with work. I’m being let go at the end of the month :( so there is lots to do at my job before that. Including training my replacement. :/
@pachi: me too. Did you eat anything yet?
Luv to listen to my mother rant about my unprofessional hairstyle for 30 mins. What a wonderful confidence boost thanks so much /sarcasm
I wear it in a pony/bun/clip btw so idk what's unprofessional about it??? It's not even dyed and has a really conservative cut so?????? :|

@Totalanimefan: I’m sorry to hear you’re being let go. That’s terrible!
-Any odds are good odds for the damned-
@Totalanimefan: Oh beans, I'm sorry about your job. Them making you train your replacement is shitty as hell
@Lina: thank you. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something again soon.
@Lilykin: yeah I fucking know. It’s so disrespectful.
@Totalanimefan: I've had to do that before. I was petty tho and only taught them what I was first taught and trashed all my additional notes lol. That included spreadsheets/mailing lists/process/etc. that I made for myself to streamline workflow. When they called me later wanting to know how I was able to do things so quickly I told them they could figure it out like I did lmao.
I never intended to work there again so I didn't mind burning that bridge. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Lilykin: OMG I should have done that. I already gave the other person my notes. XD
I should have made it harder for the next person so they would be wondering how I did it all too.
Idk if I'm going to ever work here again. My boss really likes me, but my boss's boss I guess thinks I do nothing so wants me gone? Doesn't like me? I don't know.
@Totalanimefan: That's so bizarre when they pull out "you don't do anything" but also we need you to train your replacement. Maybe your boss's boss doesn't want to pay you what you're worth?
In my case we got a new CFO who thought we had too many people (we didn't, we were actually down 2) and that my position could be eliminated. But like, I wasn't just the receptionist, I also assisted all the other departments (like, basically all their data entry and filing among other things lol) when my work was done. I didn't just sit on my ass all day and answer the phone/door.
No surprise when they were so backed up that within six months 4 of the 6 people left quit 🤣

@Lilykin: Yeah probably that. Probably that she doesn't want to pay me, because they are making my train the executive Admin to do my job. Poor girl. She is getting the hang of it, but it's not her job and she should be paid more.
Wow that's pretty BS.
When this lady came last Oct like 3 people quit, and I'm the only one left from 'that era' so probably that's why she wants to get rid of me. I was trained in the 'old way' but I'm also the only one that knows this way. But whatever, I guess.
