December 17th (18th by the time I'm done)

And here we are again.

I forgot what it was like to hate my job for about an hour today.

And then a good friend of mine reminded me why I hate it.

Because the whole place is full of backstabbers and brown nosers who would rather throw you under the bus than get in trouble.

My manager has often said I am a hard worker, that I always do as I’m asked and put a lot of effort into making the customers happy. And yet there are people going to this same manager and saying I slack off and just talk all day. Which is bull shit. Completely and utterly bullshit. Its so frustrating and upsetting because it feels like everyone likes you and then you find out that they talk shit behind your back. I mean I know it happens almost everywhere but still. Are we in high school people? I mean I could go and tell my manager that you eat all the time, and constantly stand around and accuse people of stealing, and I could tell the manager that you make up stories about everyone, including her and never do anything besides ignore your dept. I could also tell the manager that you disappear outback for hours on end and are never around when someone actually needs help in your dept. But I don’t do these things. I work and I work and I work. And it makes me laugh because there are cameras everywhere. And while I’m busting my ass, 5 people are standing at the paint booth or sporting goods, eating chips, drinking soda, and just laughing. While I try to cater to 7 or 8 customers at one time.

Other than that not too much going on. Researching destination weddings. I whittled down my wedding guest list to 65 people? Kind of strange there was definitely a hundred before…Listening to good soft music before I go to sleep, because I have to go back to that hell hole tomorrow. And I haven’t made any progress on the hats I’m making for Christmas for my friends. Only 7 days left you know. Maybe Ill just return all the yarn and buy them chocolate. Is that bad? Probably. A homemade gift is better than chocolate I think. Maybe. I dont know. I wish we could pin down a date to exchange gifts.  And that’s it.

Right today According to me (which is why I started this silly thing believe it or not..) people should learn to love and be loved. To comfort and console, not accuse and hurt. All I see all the time is people hurting other people all the time. What happened to the days when people smiled and laughed? I know we are in an economic crisis but just look at your children’s faces, or your significant other. At least you have them, someone who loves you unconditionally and unequivocally. Money is only material. According to me.
