Pinterest: It’s in My Job Description (Apparently)

Who knew you could spend 7 hours on Pinterest and collect a paycheck? That’s not why I took this job years ago; however, judging from how I have spent the past few weeks, you'd think it was. Thanks to a relevantly slow period (is there such a thing in ResLife) and my monster of a boss, Irene, most of my duties have vanished.

Before Irene arrived, I was plenty busy; my supervisor delegated a portion of his workload to me. I didn’t mind it—I earned great experience and it helped pass the day faster. Not anymore! Irene has taken offense to my frank nature and efficient way of doing my job, so she feels I have “not earned the right” to work beyond my job description.

She actually had the nerve to say, at a staff meeting, that I had not grown enough as a hall director and needed to understand “what we do in this office”. She threatened me with “special projects” to help me be a better team player (aka bullshit that bosses say).

This resulted in an over the top tantrum behind my closed office door, complete with thrown pens, crumbled post-it notes, and suggestions for what Irene could do with a goat. Let’s just say I was none too pleased with the sudden decrease in responsibilities. Unfortunately, it has also meant I have less to do since I know what needs to happen over the next few months and have everything set until next August with paperwork.

So, while Irene attempts to assert her perceived power over the hall directors and give extra work to her new favorites, I’ll continue to surf HigherEdJobs.com and Pinterest to find a better job and another 50 uses for modge podge and cereal boxes.

  8. Hi there. Sorry to bother you but I ran across your site and noticed you are using the exact same theme as me.
    The only issue is on my blog, I'm battling to get the theme looking like yours. Would you mind contacting me at: winifredbusch@yahoo.com so I can get this figured out. By the way I have bookmarked your web-site: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1947716635081106735&postID=7411747661341658706 and will certainly be visiting often. Thank you!

  9. Hi! I've been reading through you blog and was wondering if you could give me some advice? I was just hired as a Student Hall Director who reports to a professional staff member. I'm fairly convinced that my RAs hate me. Seeing that the second and third years judge me and the first years listen to their disposition rather than forming their own. I'm trying my best to make everyone happy but no one communicates things with me. What's your advice? Have you been in this situation before?

  11. Hey! I know this is kind of off topic buut I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because
    I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for
    another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
