Some people really know how to ruin a good day


As I sit here waiting for my socks to dry so I can go work out, I realized that some people just can't do their own work.
These are a few thoughts that ran through my head:

Umm, I'm not the manager so you're gonna have to figure that one out for yourself.

If I was paid to care, maybe I would.

Well, if there was any kind of positive reinforcement in this job, maybe people would follow these rules, even though they are stupid.

I'm sorry, are you wrongly accusing me of something again, or are you just staring me down for no reason?

OK, and what else didn't get done that is somehow my fault today?

As much time as I have doing my job well, I guess I should be policing everyone else's actions too.


OK, I am sick of getting picked on at work, and blamed for things I don't do. CONSTANTLY BLAMED. I am also sick of no recognition for things I do well. Again, NO POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. How am I supposed to train new people when I can barely stand coming to work in the first place? There is no real support. Now this turns to me being super annoyed with people. Co workers, customers... I am normally a very nice and happy person, but when one is subjected to such a negative environment everyday and feels like they are running up a vertical wall and scrambling for a line, it really takes the joy away of trying to make someone else's day better. I know that should be my job, to make YOUR day better. To serve YOU the bast morning coffee ever. TO make sure YOU feel happy and satisfied when YOU leave. But what about us? Who makes us a "Pick-me-up" every morning? Who ever asks US how our day is going, and cares? Who ever goes out of there way to make OUR day better?? WHO?

Thank God for two things: 1- the three regular customers who are happy to see me 2- my boyfriend . He comes in regularly and gives me a huge smile and a kiss. If it weren't for these two things I would probably have a panic attack by now. Either that or set something on fire. Probably both.
