first of all, if you've been paying attention, you already know that i'm completely over my job.
i'm only still there because the end of the year is so, so near and i have two weeks of paid vacation coming my way.
i'm taking them at the beginning of january. i may stay a little longer after that, then i'm putting in my two weeks.
SEEE YYAAAAA.
i'm just tired of the way i'm treated there, and i hate the line of work.
it's not just customers that are treating me negatively; it's my coworkers.
in the past two months, i've gained 21 lbs. it sounds so crazy to me, because in such a short amount of time, that's a lot of weight....
i'm not some eating monster, but i don't really work out anymore, either. which i know i need to change, i guess my metabolism has slowed down or something. because in my whole life, i've never gained weight. ever.
i always weighed about 120. so, i've been feeling really down about myself. :( bleh.
AND THEN. numerous people at work have come up to me and asked me if i'm pregnant....talk about rude.
that's just something you DON'T do. it's not kids, either. it's been one guy my age, and then three older women.
i just don't understand.
and then, yesterday, the most dreadful day, a coworker told me that i'm "really gaining weight."
i'm going to have to request that kroger take an etiquette class, i guess!
my mom, boyfriend, and best friend all say that they can't even tell a real difference in me.
which they probably have to say, but when i look at me, i feel like i look the same too. it's strange.
but, whatever! i'm working on myself, and it'll be okay!
but, what happened last night, was the final straw.
an old lady yelled at me, and was so hateful, in front of so many people.
this was all for something i can't even control! and i was being just normal and nice.
and she told me i had an attitude. i said, "i don't have an attitude, you're getting mad at me for something i can't control." and then, i looked at that bagger, and i told him to get someone else. and i walked off the front-end. :)
now, it was because i was crying. ha, but i still felt very empowered.
just because i work in a customer service position, doesn't mean i have to let people walk all over me.
i simply refuse.
i really hope today will be better.
and i hope you ladies have great days toooo! :)
OH MY GOD. what horrible people!!
i know exactly how you feel. working at a hotel (and being the only one there all night) means i catch the blame for everything.
you're awesome, and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
