It's funny how many different thoughts run through your mind but the main thing that is driving you then is your anger. I'm pretty sure I thought of everything that I wanted to say... everything I ever thought about saying to them but in that moment all I could do was leave. Now, if I think about it, anything that I would have done would have just made me look foolish. But it just isn't fair....
I know I called in two hours before my shift to tell them that I couldn't work, but to be honest, it was between school and work; a decision which is pretty easy for me. Then you tell me that I can't have off a night when you give me a two table section. Then YOU DON'T EVEN BOTHER CALLING ME TO TELL ME THAT I'M LATE FOR WORK! I guess there is part of me to blame for some of this, but really there isn't. It is a manager's responsiblity to call someone when they are late, or to handle it in a way that seems right, fair or at least decent and mature. How old are these people? I don't understand how it could ever be okay to not even bother calling someone and telling them they are late for work. They made me drive there, they didn't even bother to stop in their tracks when I asked them why they didn't call, they just ignored me. Why does it make me so angry?!
It makes me angry because it is such a lack of respect, it is so rude, SO immature and I just can't handle that type of behavior I guess, I really can't. But that's the world I guess. You can't EVER EVER EVER rely on people, on worldly people. You can't rely on them to be honest, trustworthy, caring, respectful, or even mature in handling anything. On any other day I would believe this to be fact, but when it happens to you it just makes you really see that it is true.
I cared about that job, even though they weren't nice to me. I really tried my best and I can prove it because I had awesome tips and great sales, most of the time the best sales. They never saw that.... they never saw any of that, because they, just like all worldly people, formed their clicks. They shut me out because I don't drink and I don't smoke or do drugs, I am a decent person who at least tries to the right thing whenever I can.
I am mostly angry too because now I am broke. I can't even put gas in my car and I don't know what I am going to do. I am supposed to be going on vaction with Rachel and her family, but if I don't have any money I don't know how I am going to be able to go. I really wanted to too, but now I can't get my hopes up very high. The odds of me having any money by then are slim.....
I'm pissed
I'm hurt
I'm broke
I'm sad
But I can't let these emotions get the better of me. God is in control of my life and this must have been His plan for me. I need to keep my faith strong and realize that whatever happens, it's God's will for it to. I'll go punch a pillow until my anger is gone.... that's usually pretty fun so maybe it will make me happy too....
