Trying to be more positive……..

I try to be more positive and I try to comment back to people who are down on themselves! Then Wham I get a dose of sh*t thrown at me!

I love my job! For those of you who don’t know, I am a bus monitor for a private company. I am a monitor for 5 wonderful 3 yr. old special needs children! I have a great driver and we work together wonderful as a TEAM! The problem is I am on the Grievence committee at work! Yup, speak up for yourself and the people who are afraid to speak up for themselves because they know that there will be some kind of reprecussion! Well on Friday the committee had a meeting and I typed up the minutes over the weekend and sent them in to work with my hubby (he works for the same company)! Whoooooo the shit hit the fan. I don’t go into work as I get picked up at home! I like it that way! The other two committe members got verbally attacked and told they were being petty! Why, because we told it like it was! That the filthy sexual explicit talk makes people uncomfortable and the comments that now we have to watch what we say, because so and so is here and she doesn’t like it! The safety issues of employees hanging out in undesignated areas! The issue of employee dress code that we represent our company and should all dress appropriateley! I guess what the committee really is is bullsh^t! I guess what we are really suppose to do is nothing except plan the holiday party! The other two members and I that were elected by these same co-workers to represent them, have been attacked! They were treated so badly yesterday that they called me at home wanting to quit the committee, and I had to talk them out of it! I don’t go in there so the verbal attack didn’t happen to me! Instead they got back at me another way, and there is not a thing I can do! I want to quit myself, but they aren’t going to get that satisfaction out of me! My driver and I keep some personally purchased items on our bus, and someone stole them! They were on the bus during my morning run! I had a little basket up by my seat in which I had my hand sanitizer and antibacteria wipes (you know when you have to wipe little ones noses you need to get rid of the germies)! We had a big box in the back in which I had window cleaner and anitbacterial cleaner and an extra hoody and a stepping stool for my little ones to be able to climb into there seats! I purchased these things with my own money, they did not belong to the company! Well I wanted to post something at work and hubby tells me I can’t because I can’t accuse anyone! Well I wasn’t accusing anyone! (not one person, just the idea I know it was stolen)! It didn’t fly off the bus on its own! Well go figure in that place they know there are theives why else would they screw down the can opener in the break room!!! They also had to take the coffee maker out of the break room and put it in the front office because people were stealing coffee and sugar! They keep the toilet paper and other supplies under lock and key! I have had a hoody stolen out of a vehicle before, and it was never found! Why am I not surprised! I am upset, but I know what goes around comes around!

On a postive note! I did not revert back to stress eating! It isn’t going to make me feel better! I did feel better knowing I can stick to my plan even under this stress!

I hope everyone is having a great week, and I am going to try to turn mine around now that I have vented to you all!
