Work and Horses
Quite sure by now I've come off as a huge jerk and complete basket case. Not landing a dream job and feeling spread out has cracked the finish I have worked on for so long. Since I've taken to crabbing about the way my employer handles his business; the degrading condition of the warehouse, safety issues for employees and customers alike, and the lack of care throughout. The whole outlook I have on my current position is pitiful at best, while my frustrations with where I stand are affecting more than just work time.
Earlier this week I got two slaps: on the left cheek we have the “you can ride whenever you want to, there are farms around here with horses,” the right “you have the power to contact the right people in the corporation to change conditions.” I know, I really do and don't take my silence as naivety- the riding is rather expensive and takes a lot of time- I'm not willing to half ass it, while the work front is convenient, I like my coworkers, and it FORCES me to be around people. Excuses are just that, excuses and I don't want to live behind them. I WILL get on a horse again, I have to as it is in me, horses are part of who I am; I also WILL progress and get somewhere in a real career, it's just a matter of time and availability.
Change is on the wind at work too, another store manager is coming in to 'fix' our store and make it so the owner does not have to be there (he normally isn't as it is). So far I am not impressed with the guy, he seems fake and pretentious, but I've only worked with him twice so I have to give it more time. With the oncoming summer season and a constantly changing department, my prayers are maybe being answered, or this could just be the beginning of the end for my employment at Canadian Tire.
