11:30 AM - Kicked in the small of the back AGAIN… I still don’t belong.

Yesterday started off as a fantastic new beginning like day. The sun was up early and very bright. Assembling and taking out the garbage in the crisp bright morning felt invigorating. I walked to the bus stop with a kick to my step enjoying the sunny crisp morning while listening to the Canadian geese coming home for the summer.
Kids are out of school for Spring Break and seats were plentiful on the train. Wow this morning is the best I’ve had in a lllooonnnngggg time. I actually felt well medicated but was on nothing but life.
Got to work knowing it wasn’t going to be a hectic stressful day only to be told in no uncertain terms by my immediate supervisor that I will not be getting the permanent posting for my job as she will be taking it. Well slap the happy off my face!!!!
I don’t understand the political red tape that the City uses when filling job postings. In the last 2 years I’ve heard so many different reasons for not getting a position I begin to wonder how I even got in to begin with. There’s the lateral transfer of a Clerk II to a Clerk II reasoning, one should strive for a higher road instead of an even one; well when you’re a temp Clerk II doesn’t striving for a permanent Clerk II rank as a higher road? There was already someone in mind for the position and you don’t have enough seniority.
Well I was in mind for this position until my greedy supervisor found out she wouldn’t be keeping her job as too many Clerk III’s with senority applied for it and she won’t even be interviewed. So the big boss offered to slip her resume into my position’s pile. THANKS!!!! Now she has a full time job waiting for her downstairs but she doesn’t want to go back there as she hates who will be her supervisor.
So I have 2 maybe 3 weeks left here with nowhere to go. I don’t want to go on E.I. as the last time I almost killed myself because of it.
I turned a year older on the 17th and things seemed to be falling into place career-wise, I honestly thought I had one stable brick in my house of life but alas NO!!!
Today I woke up to yet another beautiful sunny morning but unlike yesterday I now have my cloud of doom and dread of the future shading me from the happiness and fulfillment once again.
I really just want to shelf it all but will finish my days here with my normal work ethic and keep my head up in the hopes that something will come along at the last minute.

Sorry to read about your job situation. That seems so unfair. Isn't there anyone you can appeal to etc? Or any chance of continuing in a temporary position at least? I hope things come out good for you at any rate.
Email me if you feel too down.
