[roxgirl_germany]

[little-miss-sorrow]

Wow Sarah, that sounds so great!! Congratulations!

[sarah]

thanks girls!
signed my contract yesterday, so now it's really for real

[roxgirl_germany]

There is something going in some people's lives. I still watch "Watercolours in the rain"...

[emmi26]

me too, roxgirl  guess i go on studying till i'm 45 or something...   but i like it!!

[Kerstin]

45? Heaven forbid

I hope, I'll finish next year

[roxgirl_germany]

I'd much rather study for the rest of my life than sitting in an office and having NOTHING to do. Told my boss AGAIN before he left for his holidays that he needs to change this. I want to talk to the staff representation while he is gone and then go to the head of HR - I have really, really, really reached my limits (physically and mentally).

[Kerstin]

I understand you, roxgirl, I also wouldn't want such a job. But believe me, studying your whole life is no real alternative

[emmi26]

kerstin: i'm pretty sure you will!! but you got a view more chances to work in your profession comparing to students like me because yours is the type of knownledge our working society will cope with.

roxgirl: thats what i think. and thats what i really want to avoid.

[Kerstin]

emmi, don't try to be so pessimistic, I'm sure you will also find a wonderful job where you can use your profession

[emmi26]

thanks dear, but i think i prefer studying for the rest of my life and marry someone who is going to let the money work for both of us!

I understand you, roxgirl, I also wouldn't want such a job. But believe me, studying your whole life is no real alternative

I actually wish there was the job of an "eternal student". Going to school is the only thing I ever was good at and I enjoyed it. (Okay, how many of you want to ship me to a mental facility for this statement?) I like to acquire knowledge and I would like to learn some more languages. Work pretty much prevents me from doing all this. (This is not a studying environment.)

Just sent an email to the staff representative for an appointment. Curious to hear what they have to say about the situation and my options.

[sarah]

sounds like a shitty situation roxgirl, hopefully the staff representative takes it seriously and can finally help you with it.
you do like the company you're working at? i mean would it make you happy working there with more tasks and responsibility?

oh & there's definitely stuff going on in my life, but not only good stuff anymore
