I haven’t been as active on here because I wanted to sit down and type out what’s been going on at work properly.
I’m still going through my performance support agreement. The first period of it went for a month, the second only went for two weeks. I was expecting to to go for the same amount of time so I didn’t do everything I was supposed to for that period and it caught me off-guard.
I’m currently on my second written warning and I can’t see myself getting through this. Something always comes up, or something goes wrong, or it feels like they point out something else I’m not doing that wasn’t brought up before.
If I wrote this all out two weeks ago I would have been more upset and frantic, but it’s like I’m at the Acceptance stage now. I’m putting in for other jobs and fully project managing my job hunt. I’ve just accepted the 18th may be my last day, and honestly my notice period is the biggest thing stopping me from moving on to work I’d rather do, even if it’s just temporary.
Things have been going alright at work the last couple of weeks, but that’s also because there hasn’t been as much for me to do. Best case scenario is they decide to keep me on and I can leave on my own terms and get my leave paid out. I’ve decided that I don’t want to work here, I don’t want to work under my manager, and I don’t want to use Marketing Cloud anymore.
I’ve found some roles where I could make things work, and they’re much more in line with what I want to do. The job I have should be easy, but it’s amazing how a job were you work from home clicking things on a screen can be made so frustrating and stressful.

Just had some good news - my younger boy Nick (who works at NASA at Cape Canaveral) is safe. He and his wife and my granddaughter did the smart thing and evacuated. Currently in LA. I have been so worried. But all are safe and well.

That must be a huge relief.
Sidenote: how awesome to be working at NASA.

I am insanely proud of him. Given that he started as an apprentice cos school and him could not agree. And proud of his brother too for different reasons. Give me a few drinks and I’ll take all the credit for their success.
