The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I know I haven’t written much. I still haven’t been feeling completely up to it because of some things that I’ve had on my mind. I’ve been drowning the better part of my afternoons in hobbies trying to ignore the work drama. It’s summertime and they’ve been cutting hours practically down to the bone marrow. I’ve been having to come in an hour later which so far hasn’t had a huge impact on me, fortunately most of my loads have been pretty light, or I’ve been fast enough to move it off the floor before the store opens while doing my other morning duties. People who have been there longer than me are being made to be on call or laid off, and one person that I work with is threatening to quit because they don’t want to work for an unfair company… Heh, good luck. That’s most companies in America.

I’ve been relatively quiet for the most part, the changes are weird but I’m trying to adapt. It hasn’t been too horrible for me, although I’d prefer more people around. Customers are getting pissed that there aren’t enough of us to help them, which is understandable since for the most part there have been only two people lately. Hell I heard the other day that everyone who worked didn’t take any breaks or lunches because they were so busy. I don’t know if that’s true or not, though if it is I can see it happening. Hell sometimes it’s hard for me to leave at the end of the day because people keep asking for help even though it’s more than obvious that I’m leaving. They don’t care, they want someone to help them… and we’re providing less of it. And I’ve been hearing “Is there someone else besides you here?” quite a lot lately when I’m already with someone. But complaining to the higher up’s will only do fuckall, so I might as well grab some popcorn and watch Rome burn, even if I’m sitting right in the middle of it with everyone else.

I only have two more days of this before I take my time off. I really need to get my brain away from this shit and into something more positive… Like enough margaritas to tranquilize an elephant.
