It is the middle of the night and I was lying in my bed unable to sleep, due to the brain working itself into a tizzy going around and around over a situation, that is presenting itself.

I have been working at a camp site since March and for the most part enjoying the job. Learning Spanish while being good at my job. Trouble is that my contract is up tomorrow and I have a sneeking suspicion that the boss has a plan to let me go and dispense with my services.

There is a saying that goes – Just because you are paranoid it doesn’t mean they are not out to get you!

Maybe I am being paranoind but I get the feeling that the boss is working to build a case against me so that he can justify saying bye bye. What is bugging me and stopping me from sleeping is that I know for sure that I deserve my place in this job and should be getting a huge pat on the back and a big thank you for a great job well done.

I stayed to find a lost document that someone else lost when I should have been at home getting my lunch, then got the blame for losing the document. I sold nights in the mobile homes by using email to better contact the customer,and was told I should not do that??? I worked an extra 20 minutes despite being dog tired to help out the other person in the reception and got black looks for claiming back the time the following day. Really 10 hours a day is more than enough to be working.

This morning I came across a new situation when a customer asked for a document I had not heard of, I went and told the boss and he said he would deal with it, five minutes later the customer got the document which was for making a complaint against the site and getting money back. She filled it in and then wanted a signature and some copies. The boss didn’t want to sign it but eventually had to because it was his duty to sign it. When I had passed the thing on to him because it was new, he takes ages to print the document and the woman is getting more miffed and complains some more. At the end of all of that I get it in the neck for not dealing with it. He doesn’t even explain at any time how it should be dealt with, even when  it is his job to deal with it, only the director of the site can sign those papers.

I won’t miss the boss that doesn’t listen because he thinks he knows it all, even when he hasn’t a clue what he is talking about. Hate it when I get half way through explaining something and get the ” Sssshh Listen to me” and he goes off with his interpretation based on less than half of the information. Can be funny sometimes when you take a step back and watch the situation and see it happening. Have to be philosophical about life and human nature sometimes.

It really is a thankless task working in this campsite right now and the good news will be that if I am without work on Monday then am really looking forward to the much needed rest. Working on my art work is going to be pure bliss and getting some lie in’s in the morning will be great. Having some time with my wife will be marvellous, after losing all my summer to this low paying job. Not working ten hours a day, six days a week will be simply wonderful. I am looking forward to doing all the blogging and podcasting I have been planning, getting out and taking some photographs and making some drawings and illustrations, and finding I have a life again.

The bad part of it is that I should be so badly maligned in order for the boss to make a bad decision and lose the best worker he has got in the reception on the campsite. of course I have made some mistakes along the way, and I have owned up to them when it really was my fault. No big mistakes though and nothing that wasn’t fixable.

There you go a slice of Wizardgold’s life at the moment. It is back to bed for me to try and get some sleep so that I can still do my job in the morning, even if it could be the last day in the reception of the camp site.

There is a job interview on Monday for a graphic designer, could be interesting…….
