yup. i'll only have one free day to run around

the 14th i think

or now i might not have to go to hong kong

ugh this job is so frustrating

i'd honestly prefer not to go. i like to travel but it's such short notice.

Woohoo!

Wait, that's what I get for not reading the rest of the plurk first. I retract my woohoo.

Only one day to see the sights, and only a week's notice before you have to go? Ugh. I'm sorry.

ooh, it seems like the issue is that there were 100-some japanese students who were supposed to be doing the hong kong session, but apparently now they aren't

so i might just have to go to japan instead. although hopefully i'd get more warning!

i do want to go to hong kong, but for fun, not for work

Right? I'd love to go to Hong Kong for, like, a week of not-work. You should find a way to get your work to sponsor that.

haha i wish! i'd be happy if they'd sponsor a week of me just laying around my house drinking wine

yeah, lately the stress of this job is making me sick

my boss is insane, my coworkers are always calling me to cry... it's awful

she's been through at least 12 employees in the past year. i thought it was 5 but there were ones i didn't know about.

this is impressive for a company that really only has 15 employees

some days lately i have worked until 3am

>: yeah, lately i've barely been talking to people at all... too overwhelmed by bullshit

the weird thing is that i really, really like the job. i just can't stand my bipolar boss.

yeah, she's out of control

on several occasions now, she's had huge meltdowns because she was too overwhelmed to proofread something

she causes most of her own problems

yeah, i hope so.

x_x ironic that i've found an almost perfect job that pays three times more than i've ever made in my life and there's a crazy woman ruining it all

working from home is great for me because it solves a lot of my horrible anxieties about commuting and actually being around people all day

i can't handle that much human contact

haha i know!

;_; i don't want my coworkers to quit

haha i've never met my coworkers but i like them

one is planning to... the other is so depressed that she just cries all the time

she's so nice, too. i needed a file uploaded so she drove back to the office at 10pm (a good 45 min drive) and did it for me. i was so shocked that i cried, lol

:/ i'm not sure. she sounds incredibly down

haha the only reason i wanted to go to hong kong is that she has family there and she was going to show me around

the boss just screams and screams at her. it's awful. my other work buddy streams the screaming on her phone

that would be nice!

nope. she's the ceo

she's employing us all illegally too, so there's that

lol the law doesn't matter much to her

she's withholding pay from the other woman

to punish her

for imaginary transgressions

yuuuuup

it's getting to that point

the problem is that our boss is pretty well known in the field

so we're all worried about getting a bad reference or no reference

D: maybe email references from fellow alts?
