Lately, I have been having a hard time dealing with my job all because well, I hate almost everything about it. I hate the fact that it is probably one of the most unreliable jobs ever. Example this morning I wasted 40 mins of my day to drive to a client's house only to be told that she isn't able to work with me today and the parents of almost all of my clients lack the common decency to call and tell me that there is a change in plans! It would be one thing if this happened once or twice in the almost 2 months that I have been doing PSR but of course that isn't the case. It happens almost weekly and sometimes more than once in a week!! People wonder why they have kids with problems, ever consider it could be because you are a crappy parent? Another thing is I am so sick of putting almost 200 miles on my car EVERY single week! But that is nothing compared to my biggest annoyance and that is not being trained and taught what I am suppose to do for certain aspects of the job and then having people in charge of me that can't grasp the fact of how hard it is to communicate with Spanish only speaking parents when I don't speak Spanish! This last Friday I found out that some paper work that I thought I had all month to do (the reason I thought this was because when I got a phone call telling me I had reviews to do it was said "You have some reveiws that need to be completedin the month of Februray") and the guy in charge that I was talking to was like oh well just call the family after telling him about 7 times that they don't have a working phone. To show how uch he wasn't paying attention to anything I was saying (because I know that he cannot be that dumb) he replied of well how do you usually get in contact with the family, can't you just call them up? Idiot. Why on earth would I every call them what when I say, Hola? and then start speaking English. Wow, what a great plan. SO end of story is I am out 5 hours a week and have to try to figure out how to get this paper work done. Sounds easy enough minus the fact I don't speak Spanish, they don't have a working phone, the parents aren't home consistantly at the same time, if the parents are home I have no one to translate, I DON'T get paid trying to do this paperworkand they live 20 mins away which means 40 mins of driving wasting my OWN gas!
Sorry this is such a boring post complaing about a job that I should just be grateful to have since so many people in this economy can't even find work. It just really frustrated me that I finish my 4 year degree to just get a job that I thoroughly hate! Hopefully when Adam graduates in April I can give the much over dued "peace out" to "work" ( I don't want to state the angency that I work for). Hopefully reminding myself and doing a mental count down of only 2 more months will get me through.
