HEY! Yeah! I'm talkin' to you!
You know what's awesome? Having a job and being tired all the time. Awesomeness.
What's REALLY great is basically being in a zombie-like state of sleepless delirium even on your days off. Is this what it's like to be all growed up and adult-like? Yuck! Ship me to Neverland!
And jeez, I really never realized how hard I am to get along with before I got a job. I am quite literally annoyed by everyone, minus a very select few. Of all the employees at my Generic Fast Food place of employment, I genuinely like 12 of them.
That's right. I just counted.
And I guess it's not ME who's hard to get along with... Because I'm great. It's everyone else who is lacking in the smarts department, or they are just plain rude. You know what? That is a topic all on its own. Rudeness. Why is it necessary? Why can't everyone be nice? Why can't everyone be understanding and helpful to their fellow man? These are the questions we must ask ourselves.
Something I encounter on a nearly daily basis:
Impatient Customer: 'UM. What are you guys doing in there? I have LITERALLY been waiting two minutes.'
Really, people? Sometimes I tell someone, "Hey, we're waiting three minutes on the meat for your sandwich. I'm gonna have you pull up." And they roll their eyes at you and look all ticked off. Is that necessary? No. It's really not. The person working already hates their life, because, let's face it, no one wants to work at Generic Fast Food Restaurant. And you being a jerk seriously doesn't help the delicate internal balance of the fast food worker.
Thank goodness I'm going to college. I won't have to deal with that crap forever. I've only been there a little over a month and I already hate it passionately. Not to mention, job time is seriously cutting into my movie watching time :p
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be one of those people who whined about not having a job and now that they have one all they do is bitch about it. The job really isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. In my mind I had it compared to some horrible level of hell. But really it's not terrible. Most of the time I dread GOING to work, but when I get there I don't mind so much. And, like I said, I like 12 of my coworkers, and working with some of them here and there really helps my day be happier. I am just really put off by the rudeness of the customers. You see so many different types of people there. And some of those people are very kind! I love those people! Why can't we all be the kind customers? Life is so much more enjoyable that way.
You know, on a side note, I could create and entire blog of things customers have said to me already, and I haven't even been there two months! I bet the crazies who have been there 30+ years have some real humdingers.
Anyways, I should probably retire for the evening. I'm having what I believe is a going away party thrown for me tomorrow at my grandparent's house and the star of the show needs her beauty sleep! ;)
Until another time!
