The End of the Month Is Over!!!

Can I just say I am so glad the end of the month is over. I have been so overworked that I am mentally and physically exhausted. I just don't think I can continue on. I think today was the day that I snapped. Not neccesarily in a psycho way but in a well... okay way.

I spoke w/ Terri the manager in the Jax office and she could tell in my voice how burned out I am. She was in agreeance that I need a warm body in the office to help me out. There is only so much she can do remotely and what I need is someone in the office. She offered to call Bill (our FL manager) and tell him that from her stand point I need someone. She's on the OP side of things and of course Bill (who I honestly cannot stand or deal with) just doesn't get our side of things. So he tells Terri he isn't going to hire someone and for me to utilize her blah blah freaking blah! He told her he was going to call me. Does the scardy cat call me? No. He calls Bob, my marketer in my office, and rants and raves to him. Can you even comprehend that Bill suggestion is for BOB to help me in the office? Ummm... okay the major ADD marketer who honestly doesn't have a freaking clue about what I do help me out w/ all of the detail stuff. Okay.

Then Bob starts making all of these brillant suggestions such as having one of the girls in Jax transfer and move to our office. What the hell is he thinking? Why not just hire someone? They wouldn't move anyway and on top of that I wouldn't want them in my office. I like them and all but to work daily together, not gonna happen. We at least all agree that our clients need to only have me as a point of contact so everything is consistant. So his great idea is for me to send all of the orders to Jax, they call the customers but give them my phone number to call back, Jax processes everything, then when our clients need something I have to call Jax find a status then call the client back then call Jax back to set it all up. Okay, that makes perfect sense. Terri agrees that doing that would be harder than me just killing myself doing it all myself.

Then I am so freaking mad b/c I emailed the owner of the company, and a guy I really respect and like, to remind him about my pay increase and new contract and to ensure it was on the 31st paycheck. I do this before payroll had to be in. He didn't get the message until after the deadline. He emailed me on Saturday telling me he'd take care of it. Okay I got my paystub on Monday in the mail and it was the old amount. I email Jerry on Monday to tell him this. I don't hear a thing. I do know that he is one of the rare ppl in the company that doesn't have a Blackberry, etc. and only checks emails at home but dang. I finally emailed him again and did a return receipt so I could know he got it. I knew he was back in the office b/c Terri had spoken with him.

To make a long story short Jerry told me I could hire someone no questions asked. They've fixed my salary so on the 15th I'll be getting so much money I won't know what to do with. I'm just old and tired now. I'm ready to just lie down.
