revisit and repair or redo.

Any big project I've started during Merc retrograde has been a nightmare. I started work on my farm during Merc retro back in '03. The contractor trashed the place and tried to con me into paying him to steal my topsoil. Subsequent Merc retros presented the opportunity to revisit and repair the damage he did.

More recently, I applied for my new job right about when Merc turned retro. I started the job on Monday, when it turned direct. The job was a nightmare 3 years ago. Nightmare manager, who set specific people (moi included) up as her fall guys. Insufficient training, me thrown out on the floor unprepared and with zero support systems, training docs stolen off my desktop. Etc.

I've been welcomed back. Nightmare manager was walked out the door. Her fave employee, who used me to get promoted and tried to get me fired to get her sister into my slot, left 6 months ago. Double the training time this go-round, and I was put on full time day training so I'm wide awake plus am making enough in the next 6 weeks to stay on top of my bills. Changes to QC to de-stress the job.

So I'm calling this one a revisit and redo.

Can ANYBODY tell me anything [View all] Ricochet21 Nov 2012 OP
