Sportchek Zombie
So far in life, I've had two jobs with big named companies ( I'm not counting my three weeks at SCM ... I don't want to remember I worked somehow for Wal mart).
McDonalds showed me the art of smiling and being a happy drone (and also I can now plan a kids birthday party in one hour, and make it utter fun for all the kids.) I also learned the art of how to deal with people, from the super rude super pissed off (sometimes I wonder if people are just born pissed off) to the super nice ( I loved working the birthday parties, once I even got tipped 20 bucks for one party :D) to the creepy old guys who would hit on me. As much as I hated that job (but still kept it for a year and a half) it did show me a lot (like no matter how pissed someone is trying to make just keep smiling...because that just seems to drive them more nuts).
Sportchek is not Mcdee's. Sportchek is more fun...but way more bullshit. I work with people I like, but drama there is worse then when I was in high school. I like being the spunky little Cashier that I am, but I hate the fact that sometimes I have to fight to get hours some weeks. I love making a persons day by helping them find that one thing they really wanted or needed, I hate people who think I'm not a human and make it their job to make me feel bad for having a job and saving up to put my happy-go-lucky-self-loathing- crazy self into school.
Since working at sportchek I've noticed stuff about myself. I've become more of a bitch then when I first started. but it's needed when you work with 90% males. I'm also slightly more blunt, however this is again needed. I've also learned the art of not going crazy at times when i have nothing to do then stand there and greet people.
However I swear Sportchek will not stop at there until I've become nothing but a mindless Zombie. I can handle the people, I can Handle the drama, I can handle the random but always fun crazy people who call my store (and even sometimes come in....)
But... If the keep making me listen to Disney bubble gum songs about how some girl is going to wear her sneekers, or how one girl hates 7 things about this guy she's in love with ( sweetheart your 15... you don't know what love is... and also if he likes another girl...he's not into DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME). I WILL GO NUTS. or worse turn into one of them ....
....
please save me
....
I really do love my job... but how much longer will it take till I really do lose my mind?!
On a side note... I get to see Gina this week :D HAPPY!!
