Just to rant
I snapped at guest Saturday and I’m hoping this doesn’t come back to me. It’s just what I need and too recently. We were swamped and they were getting worked up over a coupon. See, they tell us certain ways to accept coupons and I follow what is done; it would be nice if everyone had the same ideal of at this point, coupons. Overrides are hit and miss, I may be able to do some but up to a certain point. Also I just don’t snap at just anyone. If they’re yelling at me, I can only take so much. It was a long shift, and I hadn’t eaten at the time and I just wanted 5 minutes to sit down. This weather is craptastic. I love the rain, but the damp and the cold is a pain in my I think arthritic knee. I haven’t done box office shifts in a row in a long while, and floor. So my knee, now knees are taking a toll. I’m not sure how I’m going to survive march break week. I only have one wrap and I have to switch between the two now.
So I’ve been worrying about this damn scenario since then. It’s ruining my time off and I’m still up even though I have to work in a few hours, because I don’t know if I’m going to get a sit down and get a final end. It’s ridiculous that, if I manage to get by this time, I have to make sure that I don’t do anything that might anger or annoy the guest, like lift an eyebrow at the wrong time or something, otherwise I’ll get reprimanded or again worse; which I can’t afford at all. Rent is hard to spread through each month, even though my total of the year income is more than what my mother makes. It’s barely enough. I’m just comfortable enough but still not really having a life outside work or becoming a hermit. If I do manage to get pass this one, I think I’ll just accept any coupons that the miserable public bring me or any other situation. I think I’ll just get a manager for every little thing. They won’t like it, and neither will the guest; but the fact is I can’t change how I am and be cheery happy all the time. You need prescriptions for that sort of thing. Restraint for hours on end without faltering from the smile? It can’t be done.
Tea is really helping at the moment, probably because of the stress. I’m exhausted. I don’t think I can go through patching everything together to make things work. I just can’t do it. I have to find a way around it. You might find this annoying and repetitive and that I shouldn't' bitch about something so mundane.
I just don’t know. It’s going to be a long week.
Exhausted before it even started.
