And it begins.

I'm surprised it took my co-workers a whole five weeks, actually. They finally started gossiping and talking behind my back. Today, we had a late start - before I even arrived, mind you. On top of that, we were doing a special task and we are very shortstaffed. While we should have six people just in the morning, we only had six all day.

So when I arrived, tasks that should have been completed hours prior hadn't even been touched - and not finishing them before customers start coming in is putting a death sentence on any work you want to get done. As expected, I was interrupted every other minute by someone at the counter, and as I'm the only one who waits on them (everyone else will look for ANYTHING else to do), I kept having to stop. What it boils down to is that I waited on a whole hell of a lot of people, but got very little work done... and one of my co-workers had the nerve to start complaining to others that I was going slow and I was the reason we had gotten behind that morning.

Uh... no. You were already there before I ever walked in that door, moron. I get it. You're tired and angry and you hate Walmart. We all do. But use your goddamn brain and stop blaming the nearest person for your woes.

Anyway, I know that everybody complains about work, but this job is significantly more stressful than my last one, and the people weren't nearly so damn catty at that place. They tell me frequently that I'm very quiet, but frankly, it's because I don't want to get involved in their stupid gossip. I need this job too much to be starting grudges and getting people to look for ways to get me fired - and hell knows they would be idiotic enough to do it, too, effectively fucking over their own shortstaffed asses. That's not to say I'll be a scapegoat for someone's frustrations, either. If push comes to shove, it's not like I don't know where the manager's office is - and as much as my independent judgment says to handle it myself, my sense of self and job preservation says to get a manager involved instead.

Fuck you work connection. It's a total first world problem but being d/c from irc every 5 minutes is annoying as all fuck.

Gonna be all the day into a hotel. So damn boring D:

Drama here, drama there. You'll never win anyway.

I think I want to cry. I just found out that I may not have a job here in a few weeks. One of the partners wants to dissolve the business. Not that I'm scared I can't find another job or anything, it's just that I LOVE my job I have now, and I don't want to lose it.

Usually when I have dreams of trying to sleep, that's what the whole dream is about. However, recently, my normal dreams have been ending with me trying to sleep and I wake as tired and groggy as hell like those dreams of trying to sleep. Funny thing is, it seem to have started when I set my alarm clock earlier and louder than usual, even though I end up waking 5-15 minutes before it goes off.

Bleah.

I wish I knew why, but for the past several days, I've just felt ill. Not outright sick, but that run-down, not-quite-right, stomach-is-just-a-little-off ill that doesn't incapacitate you, but drains you of every ounce of energy beyond the bare minimum to do the absolutely critical things. It's been a long time since the last time I've had this sort of thing last this long (usually only a day or so, this is at least five), and it worries me that it might be my heart condition starting back up again.

I hate going to doctor's offices, too, so I'll stupidly put off getting seen to avoid having to go, but I'm thinking if this persists another day, I'm going to have to. Bleah.

Back to the family drama... This isn't so much a vent but more of a hate/uhg. The difference between the drama now and the drama back when my dad passed away was that the people involved weren't immediate family (other than my mother) and lived 3000 miles away. The drama now is between my brother/his girlfriend and my mother. Doesn't even really have anything to do with me other than the fact that my brother's girlfriend has more or less dragged me into it.

Anyway, I've decided I just don't want to hear about it but my mother feels the need to talk about it any time I talk to her. She has good reasons. I'm pretty much the only one out of my siblings/mother who spends any deal of time with him on a regular basis so she's just wants my opinion based on that. I understand that. I just wish I could talk to her about something else without spending an hour or more talking about something I really don't need to get involved in. Not yet at least. I'm kind of to the point where I just want to not talk to family at all until this either all blows off or shit hits the fan. Even then, if shit does his the fan, I don't want to be a part of it.
