Achievement Unlocked: Looking for a new job.

Hey Intrawebz,

So, I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my job. Management seems to be promising things, and not following through with them. Not only that, but the things that they had originally agreed to do they have changed without consulting those whom the changes affect. Yes, they had promised me 9-5 Monday to Friday, but now it seems like they've given those shifts to the other person in my position, leaving me with the ever increasingly frustrating position of having made plans that now I apparently need to change to appease the infuriating management. If they had said, "Hey Craig, unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be able to keep our promise of a 9-5 Monday to Friday schedule, do you mind if we change it to this instead?" I would have been a little more open to the idea. Unfortunately, it they didn't, so now they have to deal with the wrath of Kha...Craig. Even more infuritating is that my mum has decided to come visit me and I had told her that I was no longer working weekends. Apparently, not according to my managers! And, having her change her visit back to what it was before is going to be such a hassle that I haven't told her to, and work will just have to deal.
Which is why I'm looking for a new job. It seems like my management staff are starting to take me for granted, and I REALLY don't like that feeling. Yes, I'm happy to work around what they need, so long as THEY ASK. I'm not working out in a particular position? sure, I'll move to a different one, as long as I'm not taking a pay cut and it'll be less stressful. No, I don't mind covering for somebody, thanks for asking. Yes, I do mind when you promise me one schedule, and then go behind my back and give it to someone else and then tell me "tough".
So you know what? Sucks to be you, I won't be staying. City of Edmonton Emplyoment, here I come.
Easier commute. Much better pay. Better hours. How did I not think of this in the first place?
Ah well, sometimes it takes a little time for it to sink in.
If all works out well, I will be working for the City in a week or two. And not having to appease either my managers or pissy customers who don't have half a brain.
/Rant.

P.S On the plus side! a) my mum is coming to visit next weekend! and b) 3 weeks until I get to board again! Woo!!
