Oh wow. I am so sorry. Eclaires, I want to imaginarily invest in your imaginary company so everyone gets better jobs. :-)
My job is okay, but no one communicates and if you aren't self-motivated, you'll be sitting around twiddling your thumbs. So now I'm training a new dude that I had no say in hiring, and he's a total dud personality-wise, plus needs spoon-fed everything. Thanks for making him my problem because y'all don't want to deal with it, but that is not going to fly long-term, folks.
We're working with a 3rd party developer to come up with the design, so there is that. But the HTML and CSS are set to start being delivered in mid-July with the final ones coming in late August. The site needs to be launched by October 1st, giving me a month to take these templates and re-code them as .NET C# and integrate them with our CMS. Please note the singular - 'me'. As in, I am the only fucking developer on staff. And there is no chance of hiring another person - no money.
Oh hi..another female C# developer. Thought I was the only one! heh
Not surprisingly, I think you're the only other one I "know" as well!
Lots of my current job is good. I just got a raise and was moved to salary. My boss likes me. The COO really likes me. The President signed off on my raise/new responsibilities, so all good.
I work on legal documents, mostly for the sales and marketing departments. Sales is great. Communication is great. We get things done. They don't seem to have a problem with me. The Marketing director? Is up my ass all the damn time. *I* like to send things out to clients because then they can contact me directly if they have a question. I already had a "conversation" with her once about how I like to do it, rather than her sending out whatever contract she wants and then just handing it to me, half filled out, when and if they send it back, which means I don't know who has what. And I think she's still pissed about this, months later. Now? She'll send me something and say, "let's review this each separately and then discuss! I'll send it out to them and copy you on it OF COURSE when we change it together!" Um, no. There is no reason to do it "together," unless it is something highly unusual and have you have some kind of insight into the weird nature of it. It's 2 pages and doesn't need any changes? I've got this one. By my observation, you have enough to do. So why don't you just let me do my job and stay the fuck out of it?
Weird thing is that she used to like me/think we had a lot in common. Now I think she wants to throw me under the bus. Haha! Not working!

BUSY. SO VERY BUSY. Worked 60 hours last week. I like a lot about my job- most of the people I work with are awesome, I am always learning new stuff, and it is not repetitive, so I don't get bored. BUT GOOD LORD, I can only do so many things at one time. I usually have about 6 different things going on at once - I need a couple more computer screens (I currently work off two). I am supposed to be getting an assistant, so that I can finally unload my admin work, but who knows how long that will take. Position has been posted, so we shall see.
I can propose an idea that will be beneficial to my company until I'm blue in the face without anyone actually listening. Then, as soon as our sales manager suggests the same.damn.thing all of a sudden he's created a miracle and his idea is the best thing ever.
Also, I didn't get to have my whole maternity leave because no one else can do my job. I was here every week at least 15 hours to keep the finances caught up. And I'm pretty damn resentful about it.
