Work
So my last day of temp work is today and I could not be more happy about it.
Though I am still broke.
I realized I hate it there. Not really so much the store or the customers, I hate the other employees. Most of them anyway.
Mostly I like them on their own. I hate how they interact together. I guess what I'm saying is I hate feeling like I'm working and half of everyone else is in the back laughing and having a good time together. And I really just don't fit in with them. They are all the popular kids from their high school, either just out of high school or still in it, and they all know each other. I'm the weird, quiet 21 yr. old who likes to work.
Anyway, I liked the store. I knew where everything was within a week or two of working there. I knew the merchandise. Everyone agreed that I was the accessories and costume expert. If they had questions about what we had, even the managers asked me. So it wasn't that I didn't like the work. I do. I just don't like the people. It's like being tossed back into a school setting with cliques and drama and rumor and caste systems. I didn't have one person I could talk to.
I liked the Book Outlet where I would talk with the people for 10-30 minutes and then I had the place to myself. I liked that. I wish it had never closed down considering that big thing that was supposed to swoop in and take our place at the plaza never came in. The location is still up for lease. We never should have been booted in the first place. Dammit...
