work stress
I don't even know anymore, guys.
Sweet Lady Employment is sucking a lot right now. I like my job, despite all the normal stress I knew I'd be dealing with when I took up an unpredictable job. But here's the thing: right now, everyone who works the front desk, everyone who is not night audit, maintenance, or breakfast crew, is terrible. And the one remaining manager, instead of firing all their douchey asses or reprimanding them until they do their goddamn jobs, is doing all their work for them.
And yeah, it sucks. It super sucks. But I feel like it's all I ever hear about anymore. When I speak to friend Travis who is also a night auditor here, it's all he wants to talk about. Every morning at 4:30 when Jimi Head of Maintenance and whoever is working breakfast that morning, ensure hours-long talks about just how much these front desk idiots suck.
Gossip makes the world go 'round, and bitching is healthy, and all that noise. But I'm just so tired of it. And I can say, "I'm actually really tired, it was kind of a rough night, can we talk about something else?" And if I say that to Samantha of the Breakfast Crew Clan, she'll be like, "Yeah, it blows, let's talk about movies." But everyone else like, "BUT OMG DID YOU HEARS" and I'm just tired. It's started to have a physical draining effect on me, talking about how much things suck. I know things suck. I am present at the place where the sucking takes place. Can't we talk about something else? To distract from the fact that we are in a powerless situation and it's probably not going to get better? I don't feel better after the bitchfests. I just feel worse. Hearing more and more stories from Shitty Things Kelli Did Yesterday Digest only makes things feel more futile and depressing. I'd like to pretend things will get better.
Whatever, I'm gonna clean the desk area and find other busywork to do until actual work pops up. I'm so tired, guys.
