I am tired of feeling like I am in mother fucking tired of feeling like I'm in god damn high school, or even worse in middle school at work.
I'm weird, I'm nerdy these are qualities that even though made me a bit quirky at Newhall make me an anathema at Acton. I feel stupid when I talk to my supervisor, she just plays on her god damn phone all day. I don't know anymore I just feel stupid and useless and I really feel like I'm in high school.
Case in point last month I was scheduled for 6.0 hours of work. So I factored in my lunch like I'd always done at Newhall which was one hour. When I went to take my lunch I was told I don't get one at 6.0 hours. I felt stupid so I just dropped it. Both my supervisor and the children's librarian told me I was wrong I felt condescended to, so I dropped it. I just looked up the California Labor laws.
"California law provides that employees must receive a 30 minute meal break if they work in excess of five hours. During this time, the employee must be relieved of all duties because it cannot be a working lunch. If an employer fails to give a proper meal break, the employee can recover one hour of pay at their regular rate of pay for each day they are not provided a proper rest period or lunch break. "
I was fucking correct. I may no get an hour but I'm supposed to get a damn lunch break. I however am too chicken to talk about this to anyone I hate feeling stupid and weird and basically un-liked. I'm not cool I'm just a nerd. I like me but they make me feel like me is....not good or wanted.
