In the past few days I have gone from being depressed about things to miserable about things. Being miserable is not a step up in the mood department because at least with depression (well, sort of) I get to wallow by myself and no one gets to bear the weight of my 'sadness'. But with misery you can't help but get other people involved because it doesn't have any merit if people can't see how much you hate something.
I am past the point of hating my job. I dread going to work and can't even attempt to care about being there. With the recent change in management the team morale is down. There is no sense of, dare i say, community. While I enjoy goofing around with my co-workers from time to time and discussing inappropriate topics at customer service, the honeymoon period has come and gone and we have some how zoomed right to the grumpy old 'we've been married too long' phase.
It doesn't help that Kat is mourning the death, excuse me, the exit of Evan from the store as if he has....well died. He didn't get fired or even quit, he is simply doing what every other wealthy kid who wants to experience the world does....a survival isque tour in South America for 3 months. Yes, some people have enough money to buy their way into enlightenment. He went on leave two weeks ago from the store but had a huge bar hopping party last weekend to say goodbye to everyone. This week she came back to work complaining about how sad she feels and that things just aren't the same anymore. I been putting distance between us due to this. She is way more dramatic than what I am use to and I won't know what to do when she finds some other guy to latch herself on emotionally as I roll my eyes. I just cant.
And now freaking employee evaluations are coming up and I dread having to sit in front of Evil Manager as she reviews my performance. I have a huge problem with this lady. So huge that most nights I am blatantly insubordinate to her because I don't like her. I don't know why she is even giving out the evaluations when she has only been there 8 months.
Jenn, girl who partook in Nerd Day Extravaganza, had her employee evaluation where Evil Manager said she had an 'attitude problem'. WTF?! Way to build confidence in your employee. Great Job. Jenn then, maybe out of spite or because she really doesn't need this job (last year in college, a part time teaching gig in the city, application to the peace corps looming) put in her two weeks notice.
If Jenn has an attitude problem than I am going to get slaughtered on my employee evaluation. They know I can't stand being there any longer, and I am so beyond just having an attitude problem.
