It's About that Time

When I'm at work I get into this mode. It's called my "How may I help you?" mode. And sometimes when I leave, I stay in that mode. Today at United, right after work, I repeatedly had the urge to ask lost-looking customers if they were doing okay, or if I could help them find something. NOOOOOOooooo!

Some choice people in the store are sort of ruining my work environment. Basically, they don't really appreciate you there. They spot your mistakes and almost never compliment your good work. They work everyone really hard. One employee in particular thinks she owns the place and treats us sort of like slaves. Except of course when she shows off her tremendous generosity and tells us "You can go. Get out of here." I'm getting sick of it. I'm quitting the second I get a new job. It used to be better.

My roomie got a little Yorkie yesterday named Sadie. She's two years old, potty trained and adorable. Don't you wish all dogs came that way?

Classes start in a week. I'm not sure if I'm happy about that or not. We'll see.

OMG I totally know the "You can go. Get Out of Here." thing! I am just like... "Yes because I'm your little ant, and you miss are the Queen grasshopper, playing the typical power-wielding ruler, when really, you aren't any more valuable than I am. You could leave right now and they would replace you with someone else in a heartbeat. Step off your high horse." I feel so opinionated on this! :-X

AND the thing is, if the owners are within ear shot, she short of uses them to prove how powerful she is by asking them if someone can leave and then getting her way.

Man I enjoy working there for how good it feels to help parents who have no clue what's going on because my parents were that way...and I wish someone had told them some things. And I love Tech stuff haha.

I couldn't remember what a yorkie looks like, so i google imaged them. Wow. They're adorable little teddy bear dogs. Hope your roommate's behaves as sweetly as she probably looks. Not fair that she come already trained. We're still working on Lacy. Good luck finding a new job. Sad the current one involves annoying people.
