(no subject)
After 17 hours of work, I am now unemployed. I had been told, last Tuesday, that business was slow at the dollar store and that they'll call me when they need me. Today, I went to pick up my cheque and I was told that I wouldn't be working there anymore. The manager said that she kept training me to not be nervous, but "I didn't learn anything" and that I was "too nervous." I asked if I could at least cite the store as a reference if I applied somewhere else and she said, "No. I can't lie."
I'm...I don't know. Disappointed, I guess. I mean, I had been going on and on about waiting to be fired and sucking at my job and stuff, but maybe part of me didn't actually mean it. I personally thought that I was starting to improve. So I started getting all weepy the minute I left the store. My mom started going on about them lying about me and actually letting me go because their business was suffering, but I'm pretty sure that it was the other way around. That they said that business was slow as a way to break it to me gently at first, or something.
I think it's more because I'm used to excelling at everything (except Gym) and...well, I didn't exactly excel if I was let go. My mom calls it being laid off, I call it fired. This is depressing. After I move, I plan on getting another job, BUT WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK? I obviously suck at retail work/selling things. There really isn't much else to do.
Anyway, this is just thoroughly depressing.
