Working for a living.

Did you ever start a new job that you were really excited about and then after a couple of weeks you started having doubts? This is my third week working at my new job. At first I loved it, but the problem I am having is that the training sucks, and I feel like I am lost half the time. I am also left by myself, and then I have to figure things out on my own. Last night was horrible, I had to close the place by myself, which is fine, I can handle it, except when the other employees leave their work half finished. The employee who did this was the manager, she just left without a word not telling what I was supposed to do with the work she left, so I just used my judgement and did what made sense to me. I like all my co-workers, except the manager, there is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. She says everything really sweetly, but I get a sense that she is really mocking me. Maybe I am just being overly sensitive. And then I heard from another co-worker that the manager doesn't know how to do the majority of the stuff in the department, that she only got the position because of office politics. I know she doesn't know how to train people, she shows me how to do things half way, when I need to know the whole process, then I end up asking someone else. I just find it very frustrating and I am thinking of seeing if I can move to a different department.
