Uneasy
The past few days I've been feeling uneasy.
Maybe its caffine. Or maybe events.
I IM-yelled at Amanda the other day about her calling me early in the morning about the Wii. I'm sorry, but the Wii is a sore subject for me as I'm sure it is for ALL retail workers who have to deal with it. Its annoying. I thought something bad happened, or something exciting, or something at least relevant to call at 8am. Her response? That she called me on her commute because she has a REAL job. SCREW YOU. Seriously. Looking down on me, fuck you. She worked retail after college, hell she has worked many worse jobs than I have, what right does she have to look down her nose at me? Then I tell her why the Wii thing is annoying- ie a million calls a day about it, blah blah- and she says "well I'm sorry you hate your job." Umm no. I don't hate my job, I hate Christmas shoppers, esp when they are all after some lame thing that is impossible to find. It happens every year. So apparently because I hate something annoying I hate my WHOLE job. Because, ya know, everyone out there loves every single thing about their job. GRR
And then today, the store manager calls in a fowl mood and asks me about some box I apparently signed for that was for another Gamestop. Now, I usually work mornings so I receive most of the shipments in, but that doesn't mean I actually check them in and process them. Well, he says I signed for it and I have no clue what he's talking about, then he yells about some other stuff, which is out of character for him. He calls back later to ask why I wrote something down that I copied out of a corporate email to help HIM and tells me its wrong. Well, its what I read, I'm sorry. So later I'm out at the book store which is nearby to the store, so I decide to go in and try to cheer him up. He is on the phone, looking cross, and Viking Steve tells me that he's been on there for awhile. I try to show him a funny book to cheer him up, and he yells at me and tells me he's on an important call to loss prevention and to leave him alone. Again, I was like what the hell? So I bought what I wanted to and as I was signing out my transaction in the book I caught a glimpse of my name written in the book. I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, but him calling loss prevention, asking about a box I have no idea about, I think he's thinking something awful like I took them or something! Ya know, I'm sorry, but he should know by now that I don't steal anything! I work hard for what I have, or gladly receive my things as gifts. I haven't stolen a thing in my LIFE! Maybe I'm overreacting, but I've never seen him be that cool to me.
Worst is, I have to work with him tomorrow. Even tho I didn't do anything wrong, that I'm aware of, I'm afraid of whats going on. Does he not trust me? I thought we all did in our store. Even if thats not it, why was he acting so cold to me? What did I do?!!!!!!!!
Grr.
