Work continues
Found $10 dollars walking to campus with Julie this morning; she to her internship's orientation and me to FedEx to send last minute passport photos for my trip to Lebanon (hopefully that works out ok. It would suck to be disqualified now). Anyway, at work I kept getting really small donations so at the end I only had $55, so I made like one of the nicer people I talked to gave me the 10. I doubt they'll ever contact him over it, and if they do, well he's elderly. Even if he complains about it, by then it will be old news and we'll all assume he just forgot.
I was so convinced I was fired! I lay down in the grass on my back while krista knelt nearby chatting away on the phone about boys, boys, boys and we waited for the van to pick us up. But when it came time for Tye to take me aside and ask how my night went, she said I did excellently. Said "we" had some problems in this area and the girls who had the slightly higher income streets did better. So I felt great, actually.
But then later my boss took me aside and in his roundabout, well-meaning concerned way basically asked me how I thought I did and when I explained that I thought it went horribly until I talked to Tye and how she said I actually did really well, he said "well relatively you did well," and he said "relatively" like I had somehow given myself a shitty area to canvas when I have absolutely no say in how he chooses the turf. And he said "well you saw how Sarah did," and yeah Sarah and Rachel did great, but again, they were in a higher income area. I did waaay better than the two also in my area; one of whom is also technically one of my bosses, the other who has worked there for months. So I got kind of annoyed, because he should know these things and if he does know these things, then he's an asshole, because this is my day 8 and I can't be expected to do better than those on day 300.
But still, somehow, I am encouraged to get "standard" again during one of my last two "training" days in order to get hired. I mean I understand there's a quota, we should make it, and we often have to persevere in shitty areas. But I hate the implication that our turf has nothing to do with how well our night goes. Ugh!
And Julie's still here! She was supposed to move into the dorms for the summer yesterday and she still hasn't and worst of all the creeper she just broke up with for continually trying to pressure her into sexual acts she wasnt comfortable with (after all 3 dates of their entire "relationship") is on my couch watching movies. And she thinks they're working as friends! He's here at midnight trying to snuggle with her and shes giving herself high fives over how well she managed to "friend zone" him. I hate him! Not just because he's a dick, but also every time I'm in a room with him he uses me to "tease" Julie about her quirks, but really he's just trying to put her down by comparing her to other woman. I refuse to be party to that.
Ughhhhhhh why is everyone so stupid?!
