My job isn't so bad. I just find it rather boring. I'm always busy doing something, it just gets repetitive. I get stuck in the fitting room a lot, but I'm learning to like it. I'm always back there by myself so I don't have to impress anyone. I have yet to make a suggestion for someone without them asking. Partly because I feel uncomfortable, but mostly because I have no idea what is on the floor since I'm never out there. I also never have time because I seem to be the only one who tries to put things away. Most of the customers are nice. There are a few who aren't mean, they're just completely indecisive. I try to be pretty honest about how things look on people, but sometimes they just don't want to hear it either way. Oh well, its better than being yelled at. The thing that really sucks about work is that I never have any time to get to know anyone. We are all so busy all the time no one stops to chat. I've only worked five hour shifts so its not like I can chat on my breaks either. I just go in there, do my thing and leave. It's weird because at all my other jobs there has always been time to socialize. I think socializing makes work more fun, thats probably why I'm so indifferent to going. I just feel like I've proven that I am a hard worker and whenever I've come to this point at my other jobs I start to get to know people better.
Enough about work.
Mike has now decided that if he can't get another job before our lease is up, whether it be a promotion at Progressive or something new, he wants to go to Full Sail. In case some of you don't know, it's a technical school in Orlando. It is supposed to be the best in the country. He wants to take either web or game development. I'm all for him going back to school, but I don't want to go to Florida. I would also prefer he go somewhere cheaper, where he can just take classes at night. He is bored with his job now and it just makes me worry that he is always going to get bored with his job. It is too soon to tell what he is going to do. I'm just waiting for the right time to speak my piece.
I am also annoyed with him because I can't get him to be cheap. It is mostly that I can't get him to portion out food. He also always wants to by the expensive version of things. For instance cheese. He buys the real shredded parmesan instead of the store brand stuff. The worst part is after he uses a little bit in a meal he just eats the rest out of the container. It's not a snack food for goodness sake! I also like to occasionally eat nutella with fruit, so when I have it in the cupboard he just eats it with a spoon! I hardly ever get two uses out of the jar. I try to talk to him about it, but he just doesn't get it. He is used to his mom's house where there is shit ton of food and he can inhale all he wants. She'll even let him eat two hamburgers for dinner instead of making him eat one and a couple of side dishes. It's so gross. I also get different salsa flavors for each of us because he likes the really hot ones while I like mild or medium except he always eats my flavors first. Its not just that he eats them its that he eats at least a half a jar at a time. I am so careful about how much I eat, what I eat and when I eat it because I am trying to make things last longer. He just doesn't get it. He eats far more calories than he needs in a day. Then he complains when there is no food. I like having him shop with me because I hate going, but I can't let him anymore. He always throws a bunch of crap in the cart we don't need. I discovered that I can get Mallowmars here even though I could never get them in Columbus. He decided it was okay to get some for me and then he ended up eating most of them anyway. He is such a jerk. I'm not letting him shop with me anymore and if he wants something he is going to have to go get it himself. I'm also going to make a snack shelf for him in the cabinet and tell him that is all he gets for x period of time. :Sigh: Why are men so damn frustrating?!
Ok I'm done bitching. I did not intend to get on here and bitch, but there it is. Sorry guys.
