Happiness fades
12.11.07 (10:16 pm)   [edit]
"And if you should ever feel really happy, be patient. This will pass."
--Garrison Kiellor

Wow. It's hard right now to think of truer words. So, last Thursday, I finished school for the semester next eight months and have since then feeling something called almost contented. I haven't had a break since Disney World and certainly not since starting down this disheartening art path. I have been playing ever since; I've been out to eat, I've drunk socially, I've been to the drive in.
And although I have to work seven days in a row, and my ankle is in excruciating pain and I have two days left, because my schedule has been decent, and I don't have any 3/5 splits and I don't work later that 7:00, and things seemed a little more correct in the scheduling, I haven't been complaining about my job much.

But the happy euphoria thing never lasts. I wanted very much to move to the deli to possibly make more money not worry about other people getting better hours and maybe alleviate the ennui and lack of appreciation I was feeling at my job as a grocery bagger. We get paid less, we are the most expendable people but if a checker thinks they have to do a big order all by themselves, they are like basket cases.

So, after much requesting of my boss when that position was going to post so that I may try for it, he instead gave it to someone else already making the same wages (and who I have 2 weeks seniority on), and who doesn't want to move over there thereby once again allowing him to not have to promote anybody as is his rather irresponsible fashion.

He will soon be looking for a new bagger too. Good luck with that. Supposedly, nobody wants to work weekends or for only a very few hours after school or they can't pass a drug test. I'm not sure if I totally believe that, but it will soon be put to the test, won't it?

But I should really get my ankle looked at while I have the coverage.
