I am so sick of the idiots that work in my store, the idiot ETLs that need to get hit by a clue-by-four because they have no idea what they are doing, the STL who smiles with glee about our store being green and this and that being green yet not paying attention to the morale of the team members. I'm sick of all the bulls*it being sent by corporate where they think their stores are all rainbow-sh*tting unicorns and lollipops.
When many people are eating ramen or the provided pb and j sandwiches (if they replace the bread on time) and you're ordering Chipolte or White Castle or Saladworks or California Pizza Kitchen everyday there's something wrong. If people are coming up to you asking about rental assistance and how to apply for food stamps or section 8, then there's something wrong. If you can't have the FFF events that you scheduled on the calendar in TSC, then there is something wrong.
I have an advantage. I'm college educated. And for whatever reason I have been dilly dallying two years out of college. I had a nice government job right out of college, but that ended.
You know what's funny? Randomly I have been talking to people. I see a former classmate in Target every so often. He told me about a good paying job in the field I went to school for. A few days ago he was in and asked me "Did you apply for the job at my company yet?" One of the cashiers has a helper who looks over her. I went to school with the helper. We got to talking and she asked me for my resume. "I always like helping out fellow graduates of [my school]!" Hell, my friend had to be driven to the hospital last week. Her brother and his girlfriend came in and we got to talking when the friend's situation got less serious. He ratted out names of 12 different companies in my field that are hiring. "And for my company, use me as a reference. You're gonna get one or two callbacks if you apply to every company I told you." My cousin is a supervisor Sony rep at 22 years old! Two days ago... "Hey I got a potential job for you!" I filled out the application with a quickness.
And all these people care more about me than my STL or ETLs or any phony-smiling drone at corporate or the district do.
It's time for me to get off my ass and do something about it. All those naysayers that say "Well the economy is in the toliet..." or "Be glad you got a job." Screw that, I can do better. My mom always says "If you throw enough sh*t to the wall, something is bound to stick!"
It's time...
Thanks for reading... I just had to pump myself up.
