That damn stupid bitch ass hooker has officially slept her way to the top! She is screwing our immediate supervisor and at a conference last month she slept with our Manaaging Partner! Our immediate supervisor handed in his resignation today and that bitch ass hooker was deemed the new supervisor. She has only been here about 7 or 8 months and the rest of us have been here years. Man it pays to be a ho! I am hoping for a hit on my resume soon! I cannot stand to work there anymore. I have been the rudest most belligerent bitch all day long.

I cannot stand working here another day! Here's the prob, my supervisor has his head so far up his ass he keeps running off all the good workers. Normally I would not give a fuck, but I am being left with all the work while he goes on vacation or goes to having meetings with the all the big decision makers or goes to just fuck around. ON top of all that there is this one annoying ass bitch of a co-worker that I have who is driving me crazy. This girl kisses so much ass I cannot believe her lips have no rubbed off yet. Of course my boss likes this and does everything he can to protect her. This bitch comes to work anywhere from 9:30 to 12:00 leaves and then comes back sometime after five.

Okay I am an attorney and I know that attorneys all have a bad reputation for being assholes, but in my case it's not always true. I tend to give people several chances before I just completely start becoming a jerk.
Well there is this secretary/paralegal in my office, my secretary/paralegal that does absolutely nothing all day long everyday. Oh wait! She does manage to do something during the day and that would be talk on the phone all day to her best friend, who calls constantly. The main problem for her is that she never follows up with things. She makes serious mistakes on every single document that she drafts for me and although she is supposed to wait for my approval before she sends it out she never does. I'm her "boss" although I have no power whatsoeer to fire her. I don't really want to fire her I just want her to do her work. For heaven sakes get off the phone and pay attention to what you are doing!!!! Everyone in the office knows that she does absolutely nothing and everyone knows that if she does manage to get something done it's going to be wrong. She used to the paralegal for my boss. I just want to scream and pull out my hair. Seriously I have to micromanage this girl if I want her to get any work done, meaning if I want her to send out subpoenas then I need to tell her to send them out and then a few days later ask her if she has done them and then a few days later ask her if she actually sent them out and then a few days later ask her if she followed up with the process server to see if anyone got served. Hell if I have to put that much effort into it I might as well do it myself! Quite honestly though I don't have enough time to micromanage her that way. I can barely keep up with my own stuff (trials, motion hearings, docket days...etc)and I've already taken on some of her work already since she can't seem to keep up and I need the work done to move my cases along or I end up looking stupid in court! She screwed up one of my boss's cases so bad that that day he came back to the office and told her she was no longer going to be his assistant. That's when I got her which amazes me because if she was just as bad then he should've fired her then. All this tells me is that no one is going to fire her and I am stuck with her.

My boss just came out once again with our performance evaluation. of course normally over the past year he would give me a low rating and come to my office and talk about how poorly I was doing. Well since the last evals two things have changed 1.) I have a new immediate supervisor who is absolutely freakin' wonderful! I've never seen anyone who thinks so much of me and the job i do and ideas I come up with to keep my cases moving. 2.) I went to have drinks with my co-workers about 2 weeks ago and my former supervisor was present and I was a little tipsy.

Now unfortunately my former supervisor who is still my boss overall does the evaluations. However my new supervisor gave the former supervisor input into the evaluations and I had the best evaluation I've ever recieved from former boss. I'm getting a 15% raise and things at work are pretty great right now.

I really do. Last week my boss was on call, but then decides (on Thursday) that he wants to take a week long vacation, starting Friday. So thursday afternoon (while he sits in his office) his paralegal walks into my office and says "you're on call." I was like yeah I know starting this weekend. She's like no "starting now" and she hands me the on-call phone. I'm like What????? She's like the boss decided he wants to go on vacation tomorrow so you get to be on call a day early. You didn't know....he told everyone? How about that shit! Not only am I the last person to know that he is going on vacation, but that bastard doesn't even have the courtesy to tell me personally that I'm filling in for his lazy ass or even ask me if I'm okay with it. Then that stupid bastard told everyone else in the office, but never mentions it to me. Hell I'm the only one in the office that really needed to know that information. I was soo pissed off. Stupid fucker has all the time in the world to come talk to me about irrelevant shit and come on to me and ask me to come to his house and call him when his wife's out of town, but can't tell me anything about work!

Okay once again my office is attempting to screw the shit out of all of the loyal employees who work there. There are currently several different positions open for attorneys in our county and surrounding counties because we cannot seem to keep people employed at our agency for more than 6 months. I'm at a complete loss as to why based on the incredible efforts made by the "bigwigs" to retain employees,by not giving us bonuses or raises,or bothering to give us more than 1 day off for Christmas or Thanksgiving vacation. Piling more and more work on us requiring us to update our cases on a daily basis...etc, etc.

Shit just never stops coming where I work. I thought things would kind of even out and that I would be able to kind of float in the background, not be the best attorney there, but not be the worst, just kind of doing my job and getting by. Whatever, foolish me. The only thing that has happened is that my boss has become more and more outright with "flirting" with me. A week and a few days ago, my boss come into my office in the afternoon. (he literally waited until the older secretary lady left and then immediately made a beeline for my office.) I figure I'm in trouble as he walks in and then immediately closes the door.

Another day at work today. I worked about 18 hours this weekend. Things never change. I hate my job. I have applied for two other jobs and the closing date should be coming around soon. I find it extremely humorous that everyone in our department seems to think that no one is interested in leaving this hellhole. Why do I have to work weekends to do other people's work and while I'm at work during the week why do I get crap from everyone in sight. I'm beginning to think my former paralegal was right on the ball when she would shout, "I don't know why everyone around thinks they can talk to me any kind of way that they want to!" I didn't quite understand what she meant back then, but now I fully do. These people I work with think they can just tell me whatever they want to, without regard for me or anything else. I am not these people's friends or family and I really don't appreciate being yelled at by ignorant fools.

I had to work today. I realized how much mroe fun it is to work when no one else is there at the office. I think I have found the key to my happiness I need a job where I don have to deal with anyone else!

Other than that I still hate my job. I have already applied for 2 new jobs. The only thing that makes me hestiant to leave is the fact that I have 2,000 in my retirement account and if I leave before a year is up I will lose it all.

I haven't actually told anyone that I have real serious plans to leave, i.e that I have actually applied for other jobs. I have mentioned several times that I would like to quit and I stated to a co-worker (one of the other attorneys in the office let's call him the bearded genius) that it wouldn't take much for me to leave and he had the audacity to be shocked and surprised. Now I cannot remember if I have put this is a previous blog or not but my boss (the creepy, fat, bald guy) has performed this amazing 180 and instead of attempting to sleep with me he has, I guess, decided that he hates me. So now instead of touching me when he comes in my office he's just sooo uncomfortable and can't sit still and won't look me in the eye and generally acts nervous and pissed off at the same time. Well at any rate it has come to my attention that my boss has been discussing me with my co-workers. He apparently told the bearded genius that I was pissed off about my evaluation and that I was being mean to him ever since I recieved the evaluation. The only reason I know that is because the bearded genius is not always very tactful. So out of nowhere about 2 days after evaluations come out the bearded genius states to me (out of the blue), "I've had about 7 or 8 evaluations in the four years I've worked here and none of them have been good, but nothing has ever come of them. There's no need to worry or get upset with them as they don't really matter." I had not said a word about my evaluation to anyone other than my boss. When my boss and I talked about my evaluation it was in my office with the door closed.

Today was just a very blah day. Nothing really bad happened nothing really good either. My boss, who I think I may begin to refer to as the, "short, fat, bald creep" was just as annoying as usual today. About two weeks ago he told me that I did not staff my cases with the other attorneys enough and that I keep to myself too much. So to rectify that situation he tells me that Fridays will be the days that I staff cases with him. So with one eyebrow raised and a skeptical look on my face I tell him, "ok whatever you say." So today as you know is Friday and around lunchtime he comes into my office and asks me if I want to go to lunch.

In my office the paralegals or the staff assistant answer the phones. Well sometimes if I get to work early and no one else is there I have to answer the phones, no problem with that. I usually answer the phone excitedly, "Hello Legal Department this is Michelle..." However a few days ago I answered the phone early in the morning before we were officially open and the greeting let's just say was less than happy. Not rude just not bright and happy. Unfortunately it was my boss. He was like Michelle are you okay? I said yes. Are you sure? What's wrong? I told him I was fine. Anyways he just wanted me to give a message to his paralegal.

Was a great day for me today! My boss wanted me to come to a hearing with him today just to watch and get some "experience". Fabulous as when he got to court it was apparent that he was completely unprepared for the hearing! He got slammed the Judge was screaming at him and told him he had 5 days to file a written response or he would be sanctioned! Gotta love it! I would not normally be soo excited at this fact (even though I hate my boss) because as any attorney will tell you it sucks hard to get yelled at in front of a courtroom full of people. But because my boss just recently wrote an evaluation and stated in it that on at least 2 occassions I was not prepared for court (which was not true)and that was not acceptable it really made me EXTREMELY HAPPY to laugh in his face.

I want to quit my job sooo bad. I keep telling everyone I am one bad day away from walking out. My paralegal has quit and so now the amount of paperwork I have to do on my own is absolutely ridculous. Of course the two other paralegals that work there have no desire to pick up any extra work. I told everyone in the office that If I do not get a paralegal I am going to quit. Well they have hired a temp just to help answer the phones and do little paperwork. So today I said I'm glad that you have found a way to help yourselves out, but hiring a temp doesn't help me at all. So if I do not get some help shortly I will quit my immediately. Of course they all think I am joking. i am in no way independently wealthy, but I don't need my job that bad.

Okay so lately I have been ignoring and avoiding my boss because I figure if I'm not around him he can't do anything stupid to get on my nerves and I can't do anything to possible get into trouble. So when I walk past his office I don't look in and I don't say hello to him in the mornings when I come to work. I don't say goodbye when I leave in the evenings either. Well he seems to have caught on and in turn is basically doing the same thing he doesn't say hello to me in the mornings and he doesn't say goodbye to me in the evenings. This went on for a good week and I was thinking awesome! work is so much better when my boss doesn't talk to me! Well I guess this bothers him much more than he let on because now he seems to be finding reasons to try and make me talk to him. This week my boss was on call over the weekend and I was on call for the week. So when I come in this morning I expect to see the on-call cellular phone sitting on my desk. Well my boss has not arrived yet so I figure when he comes in he will hand it over. Well at some point he comes to work, but he nevers comes to my office to give me the phone. So eventually I wander out of my office and notice my boss is sitting in his office. I'm like okay the first thing I do when I'm no longer on call is immediately hand over the phone to whoever is on call. Well my boss sees me walk past his office and he doesn't say a word to me. This goes on all day so eventually about 3:00p.m. my boss comes up to me and says did you forget you're on-call this week? I just smile and say oh I hadn't thought about it. So he's like I will get the phone for you. I walk out of my office into my paralegal's office. I hear my boss rambling on about something in the hallway, but I figure he's talking to someone else. He's holding the phone in his hand and he comes looking for me and he's says where'd you go I was talking to you. I apologize and say i did not realize he was still speaking to me. So I reach for the phone and he's like no I'll put it on your desk. Now what prevented him from doing just that since 8:00 in the morning?

Why does my boss feel as though it is okay to basically feel me up in the middle of the office? I was standing talking to the secretary the other day and my boss comes up to me and invites me to go to lunch. I of course turn him down and tell him I have other plans. He comes up to me and starts rubbing my back as I am standing there talking to the secretary. So I kind of ignore him and he then starts massaging my shoulders. I reach over to grab something off the secretary's desk just so I can pull away from him a little and he puts his hand back on my back, then he starts running his hand from my mid-back to like the top of my ass and then stops and does it again.
