I started work (again) yesterday. Same job, just 2 1/2 months off. I'm having mixed feelings about being back. On one hand, I am beyond grateful to be able to have my old job back; I have loved working at Watts and have been incredibly fortunate and spoiled in that I've been able to pretty much pick my hours, have flexibility with time off, and never having to work past 5, weekends or any holidays.
But after how things went down and how I ended up leaving, the end of August, to now come back- it's a little weird. I'd be lying if I said feelings weren't hurt, and along with that comes a little bitterness, anger and pure frustration. I keep telling myself (I know that sounds weird being, I've only been to work 2 days, but yes, I keep telling myself) that atleast I'm working, I know what I'm doing and for the most part, love what I do. There's just something about knowing that I know how to do my job, and I think I'm pretty darn good at my job: I'm productive, punctual, I do whatever is asked of me, I can multi-task, etc. But when I'm told I need to be more like someone else- I take it personally.
And to clarify, if the person I needed to be more like was doing their job better than I do mine- that would be one thing, but I (and others have agreed with me) don't think this other person does anything better than me! (not to toot my own horn) Ugh! It's so irritating, but I'm ready to show them that I don't need to be "like" anyone else. I can do my job and go beyond to proove that I got my job back because I deserve it.
Sorry for the little rant. But I feel a little better now.
