as of 2.september, i will have payed off all the various debts i've accrued over the last year. it couldn't come at a better time, since i'm considering quitting my job and going on the dole until find i something better. it's just as well; business has been slow and my hours are ever-so-slowly whittled down. i'm also raising suspicion amongst my comrades. my attendance record and my customer service scores are just a little too perfect. just a few days ago someone asked me, 'everybody's getting written up right and left; why doesn't your shit stink?' as glib and cornball as it seems, there was once a time when i gave at least half a damn about my work. now i spend my shifts finding convenient excuses to lurk in the back office or the stock room. i've spent more than a few shifts wondering around the store and muttering obscenities at the people i don't like.
people? customer service? jokes! orwellian ploys to kow the sullen masses into buying shit they don't need nor really want.
bottom line--i just don't care. i'm making less money than i was. my financial burden is gone. i'm over my antisocial phase. it's time to move on.
