Are you fucking kidding me?
So last night at work I found out something that still pisses me off. Apparently my District Manager, Tami, that I've had multiple problems with in the past, just recently tried to get me fired. She's a vindictive bitch. I've heard it from plenty of people but I was really trying to give her the benifit of the doubt. But not anymore. I do my job. I do it really well and every boss I've worked with has said as much and three of the bigger shots have even requested me specifically. And not only requested me, suggested me due to my work for other projects that aren't Home Depot related. Now, I'm extremely thankful to them, as it appears due to a few people this is the only reason I have my job, but I don't entirely lay my thanks to them. I AM a good worker. I know it. I work my ass off when I go into work and a lot of time I'm the one who stays until near the end of the shift with the boss. Somehow or other I constantly end up helping the bosses run the set and am often asked for my advice and input on how to do certain things. There is a reason for this. And I don't feel it's neccisary to state why that is, their actions speak louder than my words could ever.
But this makes me really angry. This woman is my boss. She controls whether or not I get on the schedule or not most of the time as the scheduler checks in with her to see who would be good where. This is really upsetting because it seems this might be why I always get screwed for long periods of time, like when Eric was still working and so were others we knew but I wasn't. What is kinda amusing about the situation is this. From what I learned she temporarily suceeded, til aforementioned people caught wind of this and stood up for me. And so she failed. That is absolutely hilarious! But it doesn't quite make up for how irritated I am about it. I told Eric about it and he sugested I call a certain higher up and discuss it with him. I fell asleep before I could today and I have class in the morning but I'm going to try and send an email to him before I go to bed tomorrow morning after work.
The thing about all this is I am already very much considering quitting, pariatlly because of the inconsistancy of work, but mostly because I would like to concentrate on school and I'm not sure how well I'll be able to keep up with it and this intense of a full time job. Plus, I do not plan to take anymore time away from school til I get my Bachlor's degree in a few years. So it may be a good time to part with this job even though I really enjoy it. I'm going to give it this week and maybe a couple of more before I decide but we'll see. I'm getting more of a workload than I expected from these classes. I quite enjoy the chalenge but it is pushing my limits a bit. That might just be a good thing though.
