Push Or Shove?

I'm sorry, no one can be arsed to take your call right now...

My first day in work today since I resigned, and lets just say I don't think some people want me to work out my months notice, and would rather I left without taking an extra months pay with me.

First things first and I'm dumped doing testing on a system I know nothing about. That was at around 10 am and I was told I had to do it all day. Great fun. And get this, on telling me that they'd require me to do testing, they then say as I'm walking away "well, you could just leave now..."!!!! Then I get a bollocking for not being able to think quickly enough of excuse number 500 as to why someone wouldn't take a phone call, and the excuse I did come up with wasn't plausible enough. I didn't take too kindly to that and promptly reminded them that if in fact they did take phone calls instead of avoiding people continuously I wouldn't have to lie continuously either and run the risk of actually telling a caller that whoever just didn't want to speak to them.

So it seems everything I now do at work is nit picked, and I'm given a telling off about even if I've done nothing wrong, or if I'm doing it the same way in which I've had done for the past year and nobody cared to point out previously that they'd like it done a different way.

Well they can play that sort of game if they like, I don't give a shit. I'm also pretty good at mind-phuques too, so I don't think they know who they're messing with. And of course there is always that handy back up plan of having a Dad as a solicitor... I don't know if they know about that...

I go to the gym after work to try and vent some frustration and it works, but because I didn't get out of work till 5.30 pm the gym was a bit too busy for my liking, full of young lads wearing beeny hats trying to look hard in the weights room. I don't mind, I was pumping considerably heavier iron than them :)
