The Manager

Seven Year Itch…

February 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s getting old…I’ve been thinking about just taking the plunge and getting a resume together for another managers job. I seriously have the itch to hop into something new…a fresh start. I guess I’m going through that “seven year itch” so to speak.

There are too many people that I’m just completely sick of and just don’t want to deal with anymore. I think I’ve learned them too well and they’ve learned me. They realize I just hate them and don’t give a crap about their gripes and I’m sure the feeling is mutual. It’s time to at least  start looking, I seriously don’t think I can do this anymore. I’m done…kaput!

I’m sure a new job would be traumatic in itself, but I can’t focus on this job at all anymore.

Now; the other option would be to just start over from scratch, which could be the more practical method. A clean fresh piece of paper and start from numero uno…hmmmm….could be a plan.

Methodically go through each apartment/resident and eliminating or dealing with each problem like it’s a completely new job. Shut my mind off to anything that’s happened in the past and start a brand new list with a whole new schedule for myself, including actual hourly breakdown of my salary and how much I should be working. Maybe even set office hours.

Probably a new working arrangement with my other half…like splitting up the duties and hours. Maybe even re-arrange the office and our apartment to give the illusion of a fresh start.

The way I look at it is something drastic has to be done, cause I’m heading for a real meltdown and I can’t deal with it right now. I have too much on the line.

Well then…I guess this is the plan.

The new manager has arrived…err…Monday…
