On the subject of my awful life.

Okay, not awful. There’s actually a lot of awesome stuff happening to me right now. But who wants to hear me talk about awesome stuff? Pfft. This is the depression generation. This is the generation that grew up listening to sad music and hearing our parents call everyone we love stupid.

So, now, on the subject of my life:

I am so sick of work. It’s not that I’m lazy. But Friendly’s is really getting the best of me. Sure, some days are better than others, but lately it’s just been constantly awful. So much has changed in the last few months. One of my favorite managers got fired and left, another one of my managers is leaving in the next month or so, and the only other manager I actually like has been in a bad mood pretty consistently lately.

As if that weren’t enough, everyone else in my position (fountain/ice cream scooper) has left for the school-year, leaving just me and my managers. The GM has been annoyingly hesitant in hiring new people for my position, and that means I’m getting scheduled for hours that I just can’t work. It’s ridiculous for me to be working till 1AM on school nights, when I leave for school at 7 in the morning. It’s insane. I still have homework and reading and studying, plus improv rehearsals every Wednesday and Sunday night.

I’m going to talk to my manager today about it. If they can’t help me work around my schedule, then I might have to leave.

I just need a change.

(Sorry for the annoyingly ranty post. I hate to be that kind of blog, but we all need to vent sometimes, right? Thanks for following.)
