I talked to my boss and I will be taking some time off, not quitting, but taking time off.
He was going to ask me to anyway because of payroll problems. M can't do less because she needs all the hours to pay for her stuff. N for the same reason. L only works 2 days a week and he doesn't wanna take her 2 days away from her. J ... he said he was going to take some time from J, too, because J doesn't care and doesn't do the work. He was going to ask me because I told him when he bought the store that if anyone needed to take a "vacation" from work it'd be me, I'd done it before for work and Alan has a job now. After next week, when we start moving to the new store, I will be a weekender for a while, until my personal Zen returns or the store's does. He says he's having the same problems I am, he can't stand all the attitudes or all the non-schitzophrenic voices in his head (that's how I described it and he said "I couldn't have said it better") So Johnny will be taking most of my hours so I can relax a little bit for a while, he says the minute I want my hours back he'll give them to me. I feel so happy and relieved! He was very understanding and vented a little to me about the fact that he is having the same troubles, and how he's a little upset he didn't take my advice the first time we spoke in like May 08, and just stop being our friend and start being our boss. I told him he's a good boss, there will always be things that aren't easy to handle especially when a small group of friends start butting heads. He likes that I'm so calm about it-- I've been going through this for MONTHS, stressing out is something I do on occasion, and I try to communicate when I'm calm so my point gets accross. I feel so much better. I was about to throttle everyone this morning, and now I feel all cuddly.
Thank GOD.
Now: Get a life. I need a hobby, I need SOMETHING to fill up the time, 'cause lets face it-- My Job should NOT be my whole life.
