Dreadful

Another horrible night at Le Sad Store. I got yelled at by one of my co-workers (who is not a manager) because she was irritated that I was talking to Jen, the girl who quit a couple of weeks ago but stopped by the store today to say hey.

Literally mid sentence Angry Co-worker, who is bitter about being 42 and working at the bookstore, can up to Jen and I as we were catching up in an aisle and said "Beckett you are on the clock, Jen you don't work here anymore. So I need you to get to work like now, and you (Jen) to stop bothering the people who work here".

Oh yeah. Bitch went there.

After that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. All I could think about was violently punching her in the face. She is the most miserable employee there. When she isn't muttering about Le Sad Store sucking she is spouting off about politics. Surprisingly up until this moment we got along really well. I am always really nice and patient around her and I try not to judge because working at the Le Sad Store does suck but working with people who I generally get along with makes it a little easier.

But her whole tone with us (me especially) was not necessary. And the moment she scolded us she knew she'd made some mistake. She went about her business and avoided me the rest of her shift. I intend on telling her (the next time i see her) that any future disagreements she has about how I spend my time at work can be brought up to me in a manner that is full of respect. Because I'd never talk to her the way she did. Ever.

I'll even use my adult tone and everything.

The rest of the night kind of went downhill from there. Josh sent me a freaking 23 page script the other day and expected me to have had read the damn thing along with providing a critique. I fear that I am going to have to remind him that I am not his editor. I tried to do this by explaining that I 'have my own stuff to write' to which he replied 'so. that has nothing to do with me'.

And this my friends is why I don't want to help him out. But he isn't the only one who is annoying me these days and my sweet patience has worn thin. I feel like my niceness is being taken advantage of and I am sort of over it. To the point of frustrated tears.

The holidays are bringing out the worst in people (who i work with and who shop at Le Sad Store) and I dread being there.

To top it all off, there is another opening at the Job I applied to, interviewed for but did not get back in August because my phone failed me (and I subsequently pissed off the HR Manager). I applied again and am sort of stressed out about this. I am crossing my fingers that I will be called in for another interview and that I am have the colossal do-over I begged for three months ago.

I sent in the application on Friday and can only hope that I can get an interview sometime this week.

Even the good aspects of Le Sad Store are starting to sour and I need a change stat. And I feel that an opportunity for that change is on the brink, if I don't go messing it up again.
