I know I have talked about ‘Jack Therapy’ before, but I’ve gotten a good dose of it lately and boy have I needed it! We wrestled for almost an hour on the floor last night and since he got scared at bedtime, we got to cuddle all night in bed. It was exactly what I needed.
My new job is going ‘meh’. I talked to someone who was in my training class back in Trevose, Pa. and she totally agreed with me that this is NOT the job they told it us was going to be during training. I smell some false advertising on the part of the trainers.
To say my store my store manager is hostile would be an understatement. I was threatened with termination because I hurt my back last week. Yeah. Isn’t that cute.
My support staff (assistant managers) for the most part are a good lot. About half of them throw around some attitude but the other two have been very helpful and have earned my full respect.
There are definite ego issues is my store. People think they are better then one another and they make the working environment for everyone else difficult.
So what am I doing about all of this? Right now I am biding my time as I look for something else. I’m still trying to find that dream job (something outside of retail) but we’ll have to see what I can come up with.
But I have a new attitude when it comes to work: the worse thing that can happen to me is that I get fired and get to spend the rest of the summer with Jack and Jess. The best thing that can happen is that I don’t get fired and they continue to pay me. It’s that simple.
