Monday night: I asked for a raise today. I asked for more hours too. It didn't start out too great. I actually told my boss this morning that I was planning on leaving for a job more related to my field of study. He told me he didn't think that was the entire reason. It actually was the main reason. The smaller reasons were the pay, the hours (or lack of), the lack of no place to be promoted to, and the schedule. I am also bored. But I decided to make the change now because we have been short on money lately. I had already planned on leaving about a year after I had been working there and it has been over a year. Anyhow, he said he thought I was lying about the reason I wanted to leave so I told him about our money issues. He flipped out and attacked me saying how I'm a liar and disrespected him and I let him down by lying. "Uh... what the f*** are you talking about!" I was, am, still confused about his point.
Tuesday lunch time: So this morning I had an interview and I did not tell my boss about it. I actually did lie this time. The interview was awesome! I have no idea if I got the job, or if I will even take it but just seeing where I stand was enough to make my day. They wanted me in the accounting department and told me I was qualified and... I don't know it just made my day okay? I am half hoping they want me, half hoping they don't. Hoping they don't cause the drive is twice my current (45 minutes), earlier hours, and I'm dreading telling my boss I'm leaving (again). Hoping I did get it because it has more hours and better scheduling and will give me much more experience than I have now. I have no idea what it pays. There goes my bosses theory that I'm financially motivated. "Dude, my HAPPINESS is my motivation. Quit telling me otherwise!"
Love how I throw that California "dude" in there, doncha?
OK must do work. Oh no word on whether I am getting a raise. Kinda don't want it anymore. Just want new jobby.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Funny, I thought you were out of the military.
Me confused. Splain to me Lucy.
Your current boss's rantings sound a lot like the speeches supervisors or commanders give to their troops in order to pressure them into staying in the military. Apparently, it is also what the Separations Department of MPF says in their briefings. The logic seems to be that you can make people stay in a job if you are mean to them. I thought it was a military thing, but I guess was wrong.
Oh ok I see what you mean. His angle has made me want to leave even more now.
Has the military done that to you?
The military hasn't done that to me; it's mostly people within the community I currently work in who have helped me realize this isn't where I belong. And yes, that was me being nice, something which I'm not sure I can be much longer.
So did you quit? Are you working at a new place? He sounds like he has an inferiority complex...
