I go to school and I work. My school sucks. I'm smarter then most of the teachers, the place is just eating money and not teaching anybody anything. And I commute, so I'm getting hit bad with gas prices. At least they've lower from $4 a gallon, I can get gas for $3.30 a gallon now. It won't last long, but it's a small improvement.

I also REALLY hate my job. I work at Toys'R'Us in the video game department. I'm a product adviser, which basically means I'm a glorified associate. I don't get a raise, I get more hours. I'm basically a go to person for the newbies. My supervisor is this new guy, Craig. No one in the store likes him. Since he started working in our store theft went up, and the electronics area has been a mess. He doesn't do his job. I do at least two thirds of his work, just because I hate to see the electronics area suffer. And whatever I can't do, mostly paper work, he either does incorrectly or one of our other supervisors handles it. Every time I go to work there are more boxes in back of games that should have been on the shelves at least two days ago, and since the store director only brings in one person for that area I have to fix the floor, reset displays, help guests, run the register, and unpack items from the back without going into the back, and make sure the door remains closed all day by myself. My job is to do the impossible, and I do it well.

I was offered the supervisor position, but I turned it down for two reasons. One, I just don't have the hours because of school. And two, I don't want to be stuck there forever. I have plans for when I graduate college, and working in retail isn't my first choice.

Well I had this job, working at a gas station...a grand career it is not. I no longer work there because of problems:

A woman I worked with had been a total bitch to me because I had been given a shift that aparently she wanted (but never made it known before I was hired). So she gets told to back off by the store manager, Dave. Well then her husband starts hitting on my sister and when she found out...of course he lied and she believed it, and took it upon herself to harass my sister. So I asked Dave to not schedule us together because I knew I would end up stomping her. Well he didn't listen and made me work with her on a friday night. Her husband kept coming into the store and eventually started making drunken threats to me. So I called Dave...GOD FORBID the man had to do his job! He got pissed off and cut both hers and my hours. When I confronted him about my hours, he simply lied and said it was in case the other broad didn't come in. I found out a few days later from the so-called assistant manager that Dave had cut my hours because I "pissed him off". But here's the best part...I went in for my shift on a thursday and Dave decided to have a talk with me. He told me that both the bitch and I had been replaced. He also made sure to tell me that supposedly, customers made complaints about me...saying I was bad-mouthing the company. I NEVER bad-mouthed the company I worked for. But then he tells me that nobody there wanted to work me and no one even liked me...not even alot of the regular customers.

What's funny is, if there was such a problem with me...then why was I never written up or had any sort of warnings or counselings?! It's a bunch of bullshit if you ask me!!!!!!

call the head of the company and tell them you're willing to sue. They'll probably give you a settlement. It's illegal to fire you over something like just pissing off someone, and especially over a phone call and a co-workers antics.

[Sister Xane]

well unfortunately, the state I live in has a policy that a person can be fired if the boss doesn't like the color of shoes he/she is wearing that day. So threats to sue won't exactly work. It's a shame too. What's funny is...the owner of the company lives directly across the street from me!

[Charlotte Tracey]

get him on gate night then. Make it real good. Let the eggs so bad first. That is so unfair, hopefully your next job will be much better.

[Sister Xane]

ha ha...that's not a bad idea! I did make it so that the broad's husband isn't getting off probation though. My sister has a friend with the PD and I guess he went to the hearing and gave the probation officer and judge complaints from my sister and I. So one down!

scorzies! ^_^

I seem to do the same thing day, after day, after day…etc. Every thing and every one around me is utter chaos and I have no means to do anything about it. I try to help…but I can only do so much for people…meanwhile back in my life nothing is happening. It drives me nuts! Because whenever I have a problem with it there is no one who will just listen to me. I’m the one who people turn to for advice (in my family) and I’m usually the middle person, or messenger to ask other people for favors…but god forbid I have a problem or an issue that I want to talk about…sometimes I just want to smack my face against the wall because at least then something would happen…I’m always waiting for something…or about to do something…but it never seems I am doing anything lately. Since I got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease everything I do is scheduled by what pills I take and when I take them…or when I get them refilled…or if I can get them refilled…
I guess I am just venting and ranting on about something that isn’t really that big of an issue…I mean really it’s just me going crazy from boredom and loneliness…the pathetic part about it all is that for the first time in my life I am living comfortable and I am not used to that…simple things like having food to eat when I’m hungry..or heat when its cold..or running water…is all so new to me and I don’t know how to deal.
Whew.
That’s my little vent/rant.

boredom can probably be one of the worst feelings, so it looks like you're handling it well. Maybe it's just me. When I feel bored, I feel useless. Like right now , I just got my wisdom teeth out so I can't do anything. I'm not allowed to do anything that involves physical energy, so basically I just have to sit and stare at the wall. I can read, but not for too long because I need to keep my head up. That also limits my time with my DS and my lap top. I'm going to go play video games for a while later, and I'm excited because I haven't had time to play in a while, but there is also a lot of work around the house that needs to get done that I have to leave for my mom to do when she wakes up, because I'm not allowed too.

I guess I see what you mean with the whole thing about bordem...but I have things that are supossed to entertain me but it just doesn't work because i think about how things used to be for me and the people i know and love who have nothing...so then it really gets to me. I have all these plans but it seems like they're just plans.
Thank you for replying by the way.
Good luck with DS with draw lol I've never played one so I don't know the feeling, but I get a little nuts when I haven't had my lap top for a day or so.

This Gossip Girl wannabee that's a Junior dating a guy in the Army walks up to me and picks up my drawing then asks me what it is. I was freaking out because I don't like people to touch my drawings unless I let them. This was a chalk drawing, so admittedly I got a little agitated and told her not to bend it ( she was doing sorta what you'd do if you were just looking at the page number) then she got mad at me and called me a bitch. She walked back over about 4 feet and retold it to the guy that was there, and me still being pissed said "I'M the Bitch?" and "You know I can hear you, right?".She didn't hear the bitch comment, but I moved to the other side of the room and was laying on the floor (I was in drama).

[Charlotte Tracey]

damn. I hate people like that. They're so rude. Doesn't anyone know about personal bubbles.
