Fuck It!

Yesterday I went to work and I came to a new realization. I don't think I hate my job, no. I don't think I hate customer. I dislike most of the people I work with. This is true. I walked onto the sales floor yesterday and their were 10 other employees. Sounds like an easy day. So, I smiled and started helping customers. an hour goes by and I notice that my line of customers is getting bigger and bigger. I thought the store was just getting busier. Nope! What happened was becase their were 10 people, each one of them said to themselves "well, there are 10 people out here, Im going to walk off the floor for a bit". Each one did that and didnt tell anyone else. So I was stuck alone helping all these people knowing I have 10 employees scheduled with me and they were no where to be found.

Then later, I get a call from an employee downstairs. He's all upset because there is a missing shoe rack. He said "You have to find these shoe racks". When he said that I realizes something. I don't like being told I "have" to do something especially if its something stupid like a shoe rack. So I told him that I "have" to do nothing and if he wants to take the time and go find it then be my guest. And he did.

Then came lunch. Our lunch ladies are real pain in the asses. We were serving chicken fingers. Your only suppose to get 3 pieces. I walked up. I noticed that the pieces were really small but because I was so hungry I didn't care. I added the 3 pieces to my plate. As soon as I did that the lunch lady walks out with a tray of huge pieces of chicken. So I take the tongs and start replacing the small with the large. When I did that she flips out. She starts yelling "you cant switch them, their already on your plate". I said "yeah but I didn't realize the pieces were suppose to be bigger". She responded with "too bad, they're already on your plate". I stood there and stared at her. I said, "they're on my clean plate". But that didn't matter.

So I then go up to pay and realize my debit card and license were missing. At this point, with the day I was having and the fact I've been having trouble breathing I had a slight anxiety attack. I sat down at a table and emptied my wallet looking for my stuff. When I did that a bunch of male employees who I'm acquaintances with started to haze me like in a frat. One started saying "hey your in my seat, another started making fun of the fact that I spread out my wallet and another decided it would be fun to make fun of the fact my girlfriend lives far away in Sacramento. I told them at least times that now is not a good time and I need to find my license but that wasn't good enough. Finally I stood up in the cafeteria and yelled "FUCK OFF". Guess what, that didn't help. They kept at it like I was kidding. So I walked up to my boss and told him I needed to leave.

When that happened it hit me. All of my bad days are caused by my fellow employees not customers. If my co-workers would stop disappearing I wouldn't have to deal with so many angry people.

Back to the main story. I got a call telling me that the employees all had to talk to managers cause of what happened. Oh by the way, I found my license and debit card on the ground outside...woo hoo!

When I heard they had to speak to managers, and since I was calmed down, I decided to go back to work. I talked to the managers and told them what happened and surprisingly enough they were very understanding. They said they were happy I left because its smart for an employee to know when he needs to leave. They were also happy I came back to talk with them.

So, I am about to the library I'm in and head to work. I am smiling and I am feeling happy. So hopefully this positive energy I have running through me will help me through another day.
