Interns leaving in droves... (bitch fest warning)

Last Wednesday was Jenn's last day of work, while Lucie is leaving in less than two weeks, and Chris is hanging around for three more weeks. I am planning on turning in my letter of resignation tomorrow since they ask for a month's notice (which bites big time).

I have had about enough. If the job description said anything about data entry, I probably would have been more prepared for it, or I would have not even bothered applying to this crap job in the first place. Anyway, I've yet to think of what to say in the letter, and I should update my resume so that I can find another job. So they'd better get on their asses and place an ad for more suckers to do all the grunt work, us girls have had enough. Chris is getting tired of this as well, but then again, that's what happens when you leave dead files to sit in the cabinets for over three years. I knew something was up when Michelle told us she had a "special project" for us. Special my ass...

On Monday I overheard her saying Jules that there were a lot more of files to go through, to which Jules promptly told her not to worry and that I'd be here. I was sitting in my litle corner and overheard it all, which made me want to laugh out loud at the whole situation. Bastards.

Over this period of time, other interns never had to do this, it's just this year that they decided to bring this skilless and mundane task for us interns. Why us of all people? Why now? It's not like there wasn't anything to do... they make us do other crap in addition to making us record the thousands of clients who have decided to take their money elsewhere (for good reason too) in Excel. I'm close to one thousand entries, so proud of myself but not really.

Jenn said I was basically screwing them over, which made me smirk with glee. It's not like they can't find any new people, but if they don't get their act together then it's their fault. I'm giving them a month! Sheesh, they probably would hate me too if they haven't already. You see how misleading one-on-one meetings when you get neutral/positive feedback? They sucker you into staying! Stupid stupid mistake. Especially when you ask to learn more and they promise to but they don't and "forgot" the week after.

I've thought about this for the past several days quite often, and I am still not sure if this is the best thing for me to do. I would have to move back home, try to find another job there or keep looking for one up in SF. Either way, it puts a damper on my relationship with JP. Barely a month long and it feels as if it's going to end, in my opinion. He on the other hand is optimistic, so I suppose the adage of opposites attracting applies a little here.

I have a dinner date with Jenn and Lucie tomorrow after work, so they'll want to know all the details about turning in my resignation. Then we can bitch some more about the company while we eat.

Looking forward to it.
