Ranting And Then Feeling Better :)

My Mood: smiley — Feeling good. I’ve gotten my rant out.

Yeah, so basically this sucks. I was working on the balloons and doing the register the entire time I was there. And two other people who were covering the afternoon shift were up at the counter, so I described what was going on with the balloons. I’m completely reorganizing them and getting a better system and places for them. Originally they were in these folders, but now I have them folded up differently and in these plastic bins. A lot more of them fit in and it just looks a lot better.

Anyway, though. I was explaining that, and then the guy who I’d already told what I wanted to do to was saying that yeah, I wanted to move the balloons on the wall around so that they were in the right places in accordance to the binders. And the girl was saying, more to the guy than me, that that was stupid, that it just wasted time, cuz the one owner didn’t care about the balloons.

I just kind of wandered back over to the other register, depressed by that. I mean, what kind of ting is that to say? That what amounts to at least a week’s worth of work, (once I’m done,) is worthless? What is it with that place? Am I only considered working if I’m that store’s Golden Child, or if I’m in the aisles the entire time I’m there? You wanna know why I’m not in the aisles the entire time I’m there? Because every time I go out to the damned aisle, a customer comes up to the counter, and God forbid I expect the other person I’m workng with to go up and ring them up! No! Of course, I have to drop whatever I’m doing and ring them up myself! So I try to busy myself behind the register and if I can make a better system for the balloons, which A HELLUVA LOTTA PEOPLE GET, then that shouldn’t be something that’s called a waste of time!!!!

I’m just really angry about all this. And depressed. I just don’t find it fair that I do work but it’s not considered working. I’m looking for an afternoon job. I filled out one application and turned it in today. The only thing I’m worried about is that it’s an offshoot place from a company called Charming Shoppes. And Charming Shoppes has another offshoot. Specifically, Fashion Bug. Where I worked for a month and then got fired because they didn’t feel I was being observant enough when people were finding the sensors off the clothes. So, yeah, I put in the application that I’d worked at Fashion Bug, had gotten fired, and explained why. I almost hope I’ll get hired there, though. First off, they give insanely good discounts on the clothes. (Which is good, cus some of those things cost an arm and a leg!) Second, it’ll give me a better income and let me save more money. Third, if I become confident in that job and actually fit in there without having to worry about getting fired, I can quit the dollar store. Because I still stand on what I said. If the rumor of them trying to get me and the other girl fired is true, then I don’t want to work there because they should have enough respect for their workers to say something to our faces. If it was just a rumor, then I don’t want to work in a place that will start rumors like that about the other employees.

Hmm… I just heard from a friend that the Boardwalk is hiring. I’m gonna go check that out.
