fuck this shit...
let me just say that when things start to look up, it can get really unbelievably shitty, really fucking quick...
let's back up.
i've been doing really well in my classes this semester... well all but anthropology, but fuck that class, so who cares.
i didn't even have to take my final on monday (yesterday) for econometrics because i was at a point where i had a B and couldn't drop below a B, but getting an A would require me to do so well on the final that i would have to achieve a grade above 90, which is impossible because the highest grade anyone got on any of the tests was like a 72... so... screw that.
i'm pretty sure i can rock an A in my accounting class, and i don't see any reason i can't get an A in my economic development class.
i'm consigned to a C in anthropology lecture. i'm fine with it. funny thing is, i think i might get an A in my anthropology lab... ha.
so i work tomorrow night. i work friday. i work saturday and sunday. then i have monday through thursday off. then i work the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th, have the 27th off and work the 28th and 29th. this comes on the heels of being scheduled to do inventory on tuesday/wednesday before thanksgiving (it was from 11:30 pm to like 5 am) and being called on monday of that week and being told i was now scheduled for thanksgiving day... and being told that working thanksgiving means you do not work on christmas.
i'm to a point where i am going to voice my frustration with the situation, but not ask that anything be changed. the reason for this is because even if she is able to and does change the schedule (which she probably won't) it would result in me having probably 1 of those 6 days off. realistically, there would be no benefit to me to have, say, christmas day off if i have to work until close on christmas eve, and work the day after christmas. i mean, think about it... i would have to drive home on christmas day (i get off too late to drive home christmas eve), and then i would need to either leave christmas night OR first thing in the morning the next day (i think i'm scheduled for 3 or 4 - a 2 hour drive, plus time for weather and what will be terrible traffic, i'd need to leave by like 11 am at the latest)
so i think i'm going to, basically, say "i'm pissed... i want x days off" and then say i want... probably January 9, 10, 11 and 12 off...
what's fucked up is: why do i have 4 days off at the beginning of next week, and then 6 days on? wtf...
hopefully i won't have to work here much longer. apparently my dad knows some guy who's pretty high up at 1st bank, and he told my dad about an internship which potentially leads to a job... long story short, if i apply for the internship and then e-mail the guy my resume and cover letter he'll put my name at the top of the stack. if i get the internship, paid or unpaid, no matter how many hours a week it is, i'm quitting blockbuster.
i have to admit it really sucks that what i thought would be my dream job is actually a really, really shitty job.
fuck... i should study, and go to bed... i'm out
