Airing of Grievances! (Or: what ticked you off today?)

I have been at my job for 3 months, 1st off I hate what I do (receptionist). It's not challenging, and I make barely enough to pay bills. There is this 1 lady who has been here for 16 years and I'm so done.

A week ago I didn't sign an attorney in, his office is right by my desk and he is loud (he typically is not in this building he works at one of our other office buildings) . I was working on something. She covered my desk for a break then FLIPPED out at me because I didn't sign him in and she had a call to direct and didn't know he was here. You can't send a call into his office here there is no transfer number.

She went to my boss, who sent a ridiculous email. So I emailed here back with my explanation. My boss comes to my desk leans over and says with my coworker standing behind her "there is NO drama in this office".

Well coworker just now 7/13 got mad because I left my desk for a few mins. She decided it was her place to inform me that is not tolerated and I will get in trouble for leaving my desk. Umm wrong!!

Again, I hate this job. I have been applying to jobs multiple a lot. I have no idea what to do because I get to a video or phone interview then I get an email saying Sorry!

I got detailed to another research group for next week because they can't keep their equipment running. Of course every one of them is The Smartest Person In The Room. They don't listen to little ol' me when I tell them what they need to do because OF COURSE they know better than me, even though my equipment runs and I have anywhere from 2 - 4 times the experience of any of them. On top of everything else, this group is the cattiest bunch ever. Seriously, their lab is like a chicken coop full of *kitten*.

I work downtown. Live in the northern suburbs. Have a dog currently on steroids, which makes her thirsty, so she drinks bucketfulls of water. Last night I came home to an ocean of pee on the wood floors and the rugs. To avoid that today I drove home at lunch, which took twice as long as it should due to a rolled semi blocking all northbound lanes of the freeway.

I had just driven back downtown and walked into my office when the phone rang. My son had gotten in a fight at the playground (back up near home) 2 hours prior to the call, and I needed to come pick him up immediately. SERIOUSLY??? I was just up there - why did it take 2 hours to get their act together to call. So I turned around and came back home and picked him up. Turns out one of my daughter's mean-girl frenemies had instigated the fight and then ran away and remained blame-free. So annoyed. (they are all 8 years old so it's full on 8-year-old drama)

Believe me there have been some grievances aired rather loudly.
