Well, things the other day were fine...in fact, better than fine. Work is getting me down a bit. I lvoe the job still, but i could barely scrape by at the 25ish hours she was giving me...now shes cut it to like 15, without even asking me. I just came in and she was like, "I dont need you tomorrow. Im going to have Alysha train the new girl. Oh and im making more changes for the rest of the month." No, "here, you can have this day to replace the one i took." or "can i use some of your hours to get the new girl ready to work?". No it was just, BAM, no more hours. I didnt even have time to see if I could find a second job to supplement the income she just decided to take away from me. And it doesnt help that on days when her numbers arent where she wants them to be, that she will stay an extra two hours and push me out of the way of the register to take sales I went out and helped. Whatever. I am getting so fed up with everything and her fake forced smiles underlaid with sarcasm and such. Im tired of trying to ask her a legitimate question, and her blatantly ignoring me, like a 5 year old child throwing a tantrum. Its not worth it to stay and deal with drama at a job where my hours are getting so cut down without my permission to where i cant even pay half of my bills. Its not worth struggling over. I wouldnt have left stacie in a bad position, but pats trying to get me to quit. She knows she cant fire me. I havent done a thing wrong, and my numbers stay really good. I have a year + of working at a store where people know me very well and how i do things. It would be too obvious that it was something of her fault. Everyone there says she is intimidated by me. Because im not stupid and i dont let her walk all over me just to make herself look better. But its not even about some game she wants to play anymore. She messed with my livelihood. She had hours for me, and she stole them and gave them to someone else just to spite me. I dont play games. I take my work seriously. I can use my skills elsewhere where i am not belittled and berated. Whatever.
So I am looking into becoming a librarian. only 20k per year, but when you think about it, thats actually like 800-900 per two weeks before taxes. Not too bad. Or i could go and do management at gamestop here. I put in my app, but im not too sure if they are hiring. Maybe its time I actually put some of my skills into action. I can sell practically anything to anyone, and convincingly at that. Plus my customer service skills are 110%. But the library would prolly be more enjoyable. We shall see. I just hate that its come to this. I really did like my ts job. i still do. i just dont work in drama filled, hostile environments. Fix that one person, and itd be a great place to work!
Bryan is still trying to lockdown something different. We still dont know if we are going to move somewhere else or not. I just hope he finds something he is happy with, and soon.
Everything else is still great. We are both broke as heck, but we are happy. And trying to solve our money issues best we can. We are going to his grandmas for lunch on easter sunday. woohoo! im excited, even if i am a little dorky for being so.
I like fayetteville, but sometimes its a bit overwhelming. I still dont know how to get around other than to a few areas, and i dont know where a lot of things are. It took around 6 mo to a year to figure out greensboro, and that was more widespread and not everything looked the same like it does here. This is the first time ive really lived outside of raleigh on my own. i cant really count college, because i always had raleigh to go back to. dont get me wrong, id never change my mind about being here, its just taking a bit long to adjust to navigating the area.
I miss quite a few of you guys back in raleigh. i miss having my friends nearby. i dont know anyone here except bryan. which isnt bad, and im very happy, i just feel so lazy on days off because theres no one to call up and go do stuff with.
Well...im off for now. Gonna write a cover letter, clean, do my nails, etc.
