Good Bosses Are Hard To Come By & I Hate My Job

I've had five jobs so far and have not had a good boss yet. When I first started working at the place I do now I loved it and it reminded me a little bit of working at the holistic clinic in Madison. I knew my boss and thought she was going to be really nice and fun to work for. Well five months into working there I found out some stuff about her and it turns out she's not that nice. And she is always saying nasty things about certain people behind their backs. Now I'm working there eight months and I'm pretty sure I'm heading out.

First of all, I thought my other jobs were stressful and draining, well this one definitely is the winner. And it's not even that hard of a job. Well, when you have a boss that lies to your face and lies about you behind your back, it's not the best environment to be in. Also, that job completely drains the energy out of me both physically and emotionally. I go in at two o' clock every MWF and of course my boss is there until 3:30 if I'm lucky, but she usually stays later because she does not shut up. For that first hour and a half I'm there I can not get anything done because all she does is talk. And most of the time it's about absolutely nothing. I don't even listen to what she says anymore. And she talks to me about this stupid Mannatech product which she swears by and is pretty much making me sign up and get it. When she talks about that is when it is the most draining. Sometimes she has to talk her way through doing things; that is when it is the most annoying. Than there are the days when I come in and she's got the whole kitchen area a mess with like five things going at once and she expects me to finish everything plus she tells me like five more things to do. She is always getting in my way and messing up the way stuff should be done. Thursday mornings are the worse I think because she is there my entire shift and she is always complaining about all this paperwork she needs to get done but all she does is talk. By the time I get to school on Thursdays I just want to fall asleep. Well my boss isn't the only problem at work.

Some of the customers that come in there are soooo emotionally draining it is unbelievable. They think I'm their frickin' doctor or something...."If I take this vitamin will it interact with this medication I'm taking". I don't fuckin' know I'm not your doctor (excuse the language). Than you get the customers that want to tell you their whole life story and ask you all these questions and what they should do for this and half the stuff I tell them they don't want to do anyway because it costs too much or they won't be committed. Well, that's like an hour shot of my work time.

Also I'm the only one that does anything around that place too. There is two other clerks there working with me. Well, one doesn't do her job very well, and the other is hardly there enough days out of the week to remember what she is supposed to be doing. I'm doing all this stuff and baby-sitting the other girls making sure I clean up after their messes. Than it's really annoying because the girl that doesn't work there enough my boss just adores because she's a Chiropractor Technician and she's really into the natural health field and she thinks she knows all this stuff. Well this girl is always forgetting to do stuff. When I tell my boss the important stuff, instead of mentioning something to the girl she just says oh, well she doesn't work here enough to keep up with everything. I'm just thinking, what the hell is she doing here than.

I thought school was going to be bad. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Well, I'm pretty sure I have a way to get out of there. Back when I first started school my boss had once told me that when it comes time for me to sign up for classes next semester that everybody will have to work around my schedule so that I can keep the hours I need. Well, it turns out now that my schedule is going to be totally different and have to take all afternoon and evening classes. Well when I told her I would possibly have to do that she's like, well I won't have any hours for you than, I need someone to work nights. Well, I was going to try to work out my schedule, but I pretty much couldn't and I didn't care what she said anyway. If my not working there for eight months and her promise to me that I would have hours doesn't count for anything than that's the last push. I don't want to put up with her shit anymore. I just can't wait to tell her that I won't be available to work the times she wants me to anymore. This is my life and school comes first and if she wants to be a bitch about it, well that's fine.

Cats

I think that I am definately a cat person. I have two right now, but when I get a house I plan on having like six. The one is very cudely and affectionate. Whenever I'm laying down watching a movie she'll come right up by me and do her little paw thing on my stomach and just make herself comfy and lay down. The cutest thing she does is when she wants attention she will go right up in your face and put her butt in the air and start twitching her tail and butt, it's very funny.

I've had her now for about three years. My mom says she was a stray, but I still wonder if she got her somewhere to replace one of my cats that died. She never used to be an affectionate cat either. She also used to be very energetic, but now she's more lazy. She also likes going outside to scratch herself on the pavement.

Whenever I go into petsmart to get food for the animals, my husband always makes us go look at the cats. I never want to because it makes me sad that they are there and I just want to take them all home. All of the cats that I've ever had in my life have been strays. They just must come to me knowing that I will take them in.

I always hated seeing stray cats crossing the streets. I just want to pull over and pick them up, but I know I can't. I used to think that I was a dog person, but after having my two dogs now, I definately think that I'm a cat person.

Riverdance

River dance just amazes me. Ever since our band did a concert on River dance music in high school I've loved it. The way they play those instruments is so magnificent, they are very talented. Of course the dancers are the best. They move so fast and are perfectly together. They must practice religiously.

I told my husband that I want to see River dance at least once before I die. Well, he's like, that's nice I'm not going. So finally last Christmas he got me tickets to go see them. I was so happy I cried. He ended up liking it a lot too. He also got me River dance tickets for my Christmas gift this year, I wasn't supposed to know about it, but I accidentally found out because I found out that they were coming to Wisconsin again and almost bought the tickets, but he's like no, that's your present. I was mad that I knew about it, but happy that I get to go again.

I told him now all he has to do is take me to Ireland some day to see it there. If I could go back to when I was real little, I would probably take tap dancing lessons. I always thought it would be cool to be able to do that.

Scary Movies

They just don't make scary movies like they used to anymore. The Poltergeist movies are ones that really stick out that freaked me out. They make the movies Saw. They just came out with the fourth one. Now come on....the first one was great, that kid directing it did an awesome job. Than the second one was ok, but that kid didn't direct the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Well after the second one they just went downhill. The third one was totally pointless. They put a bunch of gory nasty crap in it and think that it's actually going to scare people. And what's with the fourth one. That jigsaw killer is actually supposed to be in it, but he died in the 3rd one.
Than they have to come out with those stupid movies like hostel and hostel part two. The hills have eyes was another one that had 2 movies. I haven't seen either of those but how scary can they be. I would see them as being more cheesy than anything. And how many Halloween movies do they have to come out with before they start getting old. But they know they can make these movies because they know people will go to see them. The movies themselves aren't scary, whats scary is that people now days actually want to see people get cut up and mutilated and thrown in pig guts.
I just saw 1408 last night. Now that was a good scary movie. That is how they should make scary movies. It freaked me out. Stephen King is one weird man, but he sure knows how to write a book. It doesn't even pay to see scary movies in the theatre anymore because most of them are crap. Now if they made scary movies like they used to, than I would.
