Take my job...please
So today the safe was screwed up, and i know last night's deposits were. Nevermind we just about quadruple checked them. I KNOW what happend with the safe, and had i been listened to, we could've fixed the issue in 10 minutes tops, instead of the hour and a half spent on the phone with loss prevention. Of course, having somone have to leave early due to a death in the family last night, plus somone calling off due to serious illness for the rest of the week today didn't help things.
Some days i love my job. I LIKE working in a bookstore. I like knowing where things are. I like it when i help customers. But some days i just fucking hate it, because i know some things are being done so damn wrong, on a corporate level too. Plus i'm not using my degree, and that sucks in ways i can't elaborate. I want to be out of retail by my birthday, but i just don't see that happening.
I'm going into this new year sort of meh. I know i'm not doing what i want to do. But it gets me money and i feel like a bitch for complaining.
In better news though, Christmas was actually somewhat nice. I got what i wanted (mostly because i pretty much pointed to everything, went "That's what i want" and ensured its purchase before leaving.) and actually had cash to do the presents things for other people, and not being a mooch.
Also had a funny thought working christmas eve. At lione, you can quest for just about anything....wonder how the directors would react to "I want to quest to ascend to divinity". Wheel of 12 deities....there's an open spot. If I had a character seize it, lord knows i'd do better than Grun (Garden Gnomes for minions. RIIIIGHT). Of course, trying to figure out what sort of balancing figure Bai Yu could be makes my head hurt. Course that means i'd have to ATTEND more events...which is already very much planned. Schedule for next years events have already been submitted. YAY!
