Jul. 15th, 2025 09:32 pmLast week when the boss was in she mentioned that she loved training and that we should send her an email saying what we would like. Yeah. On Friday I sent the email saying that acknoledged that she did not have time to read my documentation (I dont understand why she can't read 3 pages of f'ng screen shots and strait forward directions) so I would like to continue writing and then talk about it with her. That way I could control the training so I can process.
Yesterday she comes in and pulls up a chair. Rudi is in so he can hear...and is my witness. She asks me why I want to rewrite documentation when the old bookkeeper left notes. I said I have 2 reasons. One because they are shit (yes I said that) without concepts and two because I want you to know what I understand for concepts... and when you do we can either elaborate or correct and I will be a bookkeeper instead of a business operations person trying to complete tasks. I am very comfortable with procedures as I have been writing them for almost 30 years. How much clearer could I be? She said no.
I know I do not have a poker face. I know she saw my eyes go dead. I said okay.
She then pulled me into her office to watch her do a quarterly report for the government. This is training to her. Show once then you're an expert. While she trains she has loud dance music playing and she drums with her hands. If this was back in my insurance days I would have taken a pair of scissors to the speaker cord.
While I has doing the dance musing training session a friend texted me to say hi. I responded after with a sorry the boss is getting up my nose today. He asked for more info so I told him. The advice is just the coast, do the best I can... and it's the bosses loss. I get it. I do, but now I am in a situation where I can't get the training I need and I get grief if I ask for questions.
Right now my plan is to get rid of debt. Get my finances in order (I have been trying, but its harder with the lower pay) If this doesn't get better by the time I am 62 just look for retail where I can get benefits (Trader Joes comes to mind). Quit at 65 when I can get medicare (if it exists) and do something I like. Should something happen to Dad I would just quit.
Funny thing at work today. The new girl started today. She is bored already. They had her taking some video classes because she has never worked in a bank before. She was zoning out. I caught her staring at me 3 times. I waved at her ;-P. After lunch she had another class. She stopped it and came over and said that she wanted to watch me work. I told her that my functions were not anything she would need to know and that I was busy (I was) She wouldn't let it go. Hmmmm... She said it would be good for the future. I said true, but it's a little fast considering your've only been here for 5 hours. I have to wonder if the boss said anything to her about maybe doing bookkeeper work. I gave her a brief description and said that she could talk to the boss about it but I really recommend that you get back to what your trainer has assigned you.
