Work particularly sucked this week. All two days of it. I have class until fairly late in the day, but they scheduled me to come in to work in the mid-afternoon. At least they were cool about me showing up three hours late. If not that would be grounds for quitting. Anyway, Tuesday I roll in about 715... 730ish, dinner service had just started. A light bitching at by Greg prompted the start of a magical evening. Eventually we were done with service and most of us were allowed to go eat. I hadn't been there that long, but make no mistake that I had been going hard all day with other ventures, so I let others eat before me. In standard fashion no one returned to relieve those who stepped aside for the others. "Four to five people should stay in the room, against the wall. Just so they can see that we are present." About 5 stayed. They stealthily and quickly sneaked out of the room, hugging the walls and moving with unhumanlike speed much like cockroaches. Two others were left, then the two others left. I was alone for about thirty minutes. I was in the room over an hour while some people were "on break." Some said they had to roll silverware, I would have taken that job over standing around listening to various speakers at a fund raiser. After the guests started to leave I made my way into the hallway and let the taboo adjectives, nouns, and verbs fly. Every other word was of the lowest of blue collar vernacular or a new creation of my own, born out of my hatred of that building and everything in it. It made me think of quiting. The outcome of this would adversely effect my income, but I can live until December without a job. Mark is talking of selling plasma, so there's a small stash of fun money in that. Anyway, I hate my job, but the best part is that I will leave it before the calender year is over.
I have not yet decided how to leave. Should I fade away like so many others or go out with a bang and taint my recommendation? Nearly everyone in a management position there needs to be put in their place and it doesnt look like anyone else is going to do it. I am, after all, a self-proclaimed vigilante.
So this one was a bitch session. Maybe the NEXT one will be uplifting?
