Well here's a little surprise, on day 10 of my internship I got to change department, this is the 4th one now in this company in barely two weeks. I'm stuck with a bunch of girly-girls that love David Beckham and can't believe that he isn't the perfect man in my opinion. SIGH... They wanted to gossip all afternoon and I felt like bolting out of the room, which is slightly bigger than a closet (we are 4 working there). I have today to prove myself or else they are switching me to God knows where. WOW!
Of course I insulted the girls apparently when after they asked which dpt I preferred, I answered the surface. But don't you get dirty there? SO WHAT!?!? Oye! In this company everyone b*tches against those working in surface, they are considered the lowest chain. Thing is, if the surface doesn't exist then half the people there don't have a work, we need surface people to make lenses. Argh! What is so wrong with that?
So now I am never knowing what to expect from one second to the next. Tomorrow I have no clue where I am supposed to go or what time I should go in at. The coating supervisor (whom never ever talked to me) simply said, well since you hate it here follow this guy and you'll work with him from now on.... Hummm, ok. She never looked me in the eyes because I sure felt like asking her if she had a problem with me. I did the job each and every day, sure I did hate it but I still did my best to do the tasks I had. She never talked to me, ask for feedback or give me any. All I know is that I am most likely never going back there.
I have been in all but two departments in this company, what are the odds they hire me next week? I am not holding my breath! I now work with Carl's supervisor (which is really nice to Carl) sadly in my 15 minutes interview with him, he seemed more mad than happy to train me. Gives you an idea of the atmosphere maybe? Sure, I am going in today, give everyone a chance but this isn't me. All I wanted was a hands on job on making a pair of glasses. At this time, no position they made me work at has given me the opportunity to use what I learned in school, nor make me feel like I am smart. All these jobs, they usually hire anybody that sends in a resume. Do I feel better than anyone? NO! I do feel like I am smart and that people should treat me with respect, that is all I ask for, oh and maybe give me feedback on my work 'cause I'm thinking I have to be the worst worker ever if I see how they keep switching me.
Argh! Off I go...
