Frustrations.

So, the past month or so has been REALLY hard, work-wise, I mean. I love my job. I thoroughly enjoy it. I mean, of course everything has its stupid side and stupid people, but I really and truly love my job. It's my manager I am not so crazy about. Last year, last May in fact, I was so past sick of my job and my co-worker, Shanna that I was ready to quit. But after my vacation a couple weeks later I stuck it out. Shanna wound up quitting in October and all has been pretty good since. But lately I am just sick of the way I'm being treated. We hired a new girl in January and she's great. She's a little slow and has made my job a little more difficult at times but she's a good person; ten million-thousand times better than, Shanna, for sure!

Anyway, today a customer came in and I helped a lady who wanted to order contacts before her prescription expired. She was in a hurry and so she wrote down her card number and phone number, just in case anything went wrong. So, I put her contact order in the computer and tried to run her card, but the card didn't validate. So, Nancy had just gotten back from getting a drink and I was finishing up with two customers and didn't want to forget to call the lady ordering contacts before I left early. (I wound up leaving at around 4:15 PM) And so while I was finishing up with a customer I asked Nancy to call the contact lady to check the card number. While on the phone the customer told Nancy that she wanted to order the two boxes and then after those were ordered to try to order two more, just to make sure there was enough money in the account. So, Nancy, put the order for the two more boxes in the computer under her number. Now, this upset me. Every single contact lens sale we've had, (Which is every May and November each year) since May 2009, Nancy and I have always had issues with each other, Nancy had started the whole "don't steal my sales from me" bit. Which, for the record, I haven't. But Nancy has taken mine. In fact, she stole two half year supplies from me just yesterday. So, I said to Nancy(something along the lines of) "You going to put that sale under my name? I'm just kidding." Even though, I was dead serious. Because, the two customers who were under MY contact sale list had been sold to under her number just yesterday. Nancy then goes off about how if I really think the sale should be mine then "Just take it. I don't give a shit." In my brain I was thinking, "Okay!" But I wound up not doing it. She also goes off about how we always have this issue and how it's not individual numbers and how it's a store-wide goal, not just personal. Which, I totally know and understand. But the fact of the matter is, that is my commission. Not to mention that it just makes me feel better as a person. I don't like arguing, and I don't like to get upset at things. But I need to stand up for what is rightfully mine. She also says things about how I stole Barbara's sale (Which I did not! I helped a customer she did without even knowing she had talked to him. And if we're going to say that I stole it. It was in fact HER that stole it, I helped the person before the sale even started. And it was only one freaking box. Not even a big deal.)

I am just done. She is constantly thinking I'm being insubordinate and trying to fight and argue with her. I'm sorry but if trying to resolve issues with your boss by discussing them calmly and rationally is insubordination and trying to fight and argue then people of the world WATCH OUT!!!

I had an interview with a law firm for a file clerk/clerical/light receptionist position yesterday and I'm going to apply like mad to others because I am just done. This job will get me nowhere and I just don't have the patience anymore.

Whelp, that about sums up my tangent. But if I think of anything else, fear not, for I will most certainly let you know!

Loves loves! :]
