Sucky, sucky day

Finally received my rejection letter from UT law today. Twice in two years. Not even a spot on the wait list. It pissed me off more than anything. I wish I could figure out what law schools are looking for. You'd think after all this rejection I'd just be used to it. Anyway, as much as I'd have liked to go to law school I really didn't want to go there anyway and would have attempted to transfer.

It was the perfect end to kind of bitter day at work. I've never really enjoyed my job. It is, at times, downright boring. I listen to music or movies on YouTube or books on CD simply to get through the day. I feel like any skills I had going into the job have evaporated over the year and a half I've been there. The majority of people of are nice but it doesn't help when you've been told by the HR manager - repeatedly - how over qualified you are. Then give me something else to do, damn it. I know I'm too smart for this job. 

The problem sometimes is that I don't feel like I really work there. And by that I mean that I feel as though I'm kind of just there to do whatever menial task they give me and go on my merry way. No reward. No chance for advancement. No opportunity to prove that I could be an asset if they'd only give me a chance. I helped plan an end of the year shindig for the sales people this year with the HR assistant. Worked hard. Did what I was asked. Took on extra work. Know what I got? Pulled off the trip. I didn't even get to revel in my planning and organizing. Didn't get to go. I was more than a little pissed off. Then, today I noticed the department I work for got pizza for lunch - looked to be ordered by the manager for everyone. Was I even offered any? Nope. I swear it's like I'm unappreciated or just not there unless they need filing done. Don't even ask why it was the pizza that set this off. It's a culmination of things. Such as...

I'm supposed to have a pretty large project completed by the time I leave in September. Well, it's going to be pretty hard to complete unless they give me more hours. Currently, I work 5 hours a day and close to two hours is spent either relieving the receptionist for her breaks or taking the checks to the bank. I have roughly three hours everyday to do my work. If the project isn't completed then it isn't completed. Let them deal with it. It won't be my problem anymore.
