I just don't like the Googlification of the internet... their pervasive, invasive overbearing presence gets on my nerves.. I closed out my Youtube account because they required me to have a Gmail account in order to keep it.... I couldn't use the email I'd been using all along up until that point anymore.... They bought out Blogspot... they're sucking up the whole world wide web like that giant robot vacuum cleaner from Spaceballs....

I am angry today because my car is broke AGAIN!!!!! :grr: I just can't believe this. This time the bumper is cracked.
I am not sure if I broke it or if someone have driven into my car. It must be repaired again. :grumpy: I feel sorry for Juho, his must live with a lady
who's car is broke every month. He didn't talk much to me after he saw the damages on my car, but he wasn't angry either, and I was quite embarrassed.

Well that ain't right :( Are your new responsibilities lots more difficult? Or lots more boring?

Just different.... what isn't right about it (in my opinion) is that I was EXCELLENT at what I did. I understand why they did what they did, but, I'm a believer in keeping people in places where they shine and excel. But, I am not the boss, so... very depressing, I miss what I used to do like I would miss a person... (and I am working more with different people, so actually DO miss people as well....)

Sounds like your bosses or administrators don't really know how things work :(

I think that's referred to as The Peter Principle, which states that a person will rise to his/her highest level of incompetence. That is if you were promoted. If you weren't then your boss sucks.

It would be tolerable if it WERE a promotion. It's not because I didn't ask... I can be lazy but I do stand up for myself, and did, but... ? C'est la vie... not to be a whiner but, for me par for the course! :apthy:

well like anything else, there is more to the story. Just at 51 still haven't found my niche! Sad!

Niches are hard to find! I worked for the same place for 20 years and like you, I thought I'd found my niche (I was doing a job I somewhat liked and I was good at it), then got po'd by working hour changes and quit. Is there something keeping you at the place where you work - like built up vacation time?

No, I stay her out of habit. I work from home too. But I know I'm meant for something more. You know how people seem to just fall into what they are meant for, or, are offered promotions without even asking for or earning it? Well, that is NOT me! anyway boo hoo! enough whining for now. I know what I'm good at, just not sure it's marketable and, if so, just not sure I have the "go getter" spirit to do it..... blah!

I've been around long enough to have worked many jobs. A few I've loved, a few I've despised, most of them have fallen somewhere in between having qualities which I liked and didn't. In home care alone there've been cases I've loved and those I haven't. It seems a "good" job comes in waves.
