Boy.... today was, well, for lack of a better word.. Suck-ass. I was off today from both Bagel shops because i was supposed to have a court case regarding my car window today, but.. it was postponed.. thank you, justice system! *sarcasm* but anyways... it was 9:00am and my cell goes off.... i take a half awake and half asleep look and all i caould make out in my sleep deprived stupor was --RK.... now, not being totally coherent, i assumed it was my brother Mark callng me... so i answered, "what?!" really sarcastically... and the voice on the other line was my boss James.... hmmm, it was Work.... not mark, great start.... getting called into work on a day off... great... so i go in there and it isnt too bad, but... i dunno, as of late, alot of little joking comments have really gotten to me... such as, "Tom, you are the slowest prep guy ever!" now, this is not a very harsh comment.. as a matter of fact, in most cases i would ignore it, but as of late.... that kind of remark has just been ripping away my flesh... i dunno why... so today i couldnt stay till close cause i had to pick Mark up and take him to work... so i told James that i could only stay till 3:30.. and he was like *heavy sigh* "Fine." really short with the reply.... and that kinda pissed me off... i came down there to help out on my day off, i wasnt given a time to stay, I ask, "what time did you want me to stay?" he says, "whenever you can." that right there means i could leave five minutes from now, but i choice to help out and stay till 3:30.... but i still get crap for it... so, i go back up front a little angry, and Megan asks if i am closing. i say no. she was like why? you have to close! i reply i cant, and she says oh, i see how it is.... not too badly. but earlier she asked me and one of my other co-workers for some chump change to buy a case of Red Bull... the exact total was $32. Now.. this other employee faithfully gives up a 20 spot for the Red Bull fund.. i on the other hand have a grand total of $19 in my pocket... all of which i need. i try to explain this but am referred to as a cheap jew.... jokingly of course... however... it still pissed me off something royal... i dunno. this is like a two part question here... first. why all of a sudden are these harmless little comments getting under my skin. and second, why do people always need to direct them towards me?!
