Anyone else want to rant about work?

Well, Here I am sitting all alone- DH's mom got really sick and took a turn for the worst. She lives out of the country. DH went to see her- and took DD because they have never been able to meet. So, I'm alone for the time being. Well, work sucks! I've worked for the same retail company for nearly 10 years. I have never really loved it, but there have always been good reasons to stay. I get paid A LOT after many years and promotions. Plus, they are working with my current grad school schedule really nicely. But, we get new bosses that cycle through- Retail has high turnover that way, and they are complete idiots this time! I am having such a hard time remembering that I only have to last until May before I take maternity leave. I've done the same job for 18 months in the exact same way, and now everything is challenged- my numbers are still top in the area, and my team makes very important contributions. Still, everything we do is displeasing someone! I am so tired of people *****fuse to learn what my job entails and instead have to be told over and over. Plus, I have a new boss who won't even say "Hi" to me if I don't initiate the conversation first! She'll walk right by me! I am so irritated. I really am to a point where enough is enough. Then I start to worry, because I do get paid a lot there, more than I could get anywhere elese and still have a year and a half of my three year psychology master's degree program left, so I really can't go anywhere else and earn the same and have them work with my school schedule and family schedule- So I am stuck, like I have been for 10 years!! Sorry to rant- hopefully I didn't bore anyone. I guess I just need some words of encouragement! Tell me I'll make it to maternity leave (Which I can stretch out to 5 months paid- the only benefit of this crappy situation) and that things will look up- They just seem to get worse with each month that has gone by this year- I've really been holding out for things to improve, but they aren't!

What about the rest of you? Anyone else want to rant about work? I'm all sympathy!

Just think soon a new boss will cycle through and maybe next time it will be better. You will be on maternity leave soon, time will go quickly and then you can enjoy some time away.

Hang in there,
Emily
