Thanksgiving!

You gotta love the holidays, you get a day off from school and work. I need a break from work today. While my family is pretty dysfunctional, dealing with them, instead of my boss who tells me on a constant basis my personality sucks, will be much appreciated.

Yesterday I got to go through about 500 accounts one by one at work to check and make sure they had all paid because my boss could not figure out why our revenues were so low. I explained to him that he was missing thousands of dollars due to a prepaid CAP program we ran to make it through the summer and the lack of revenues coming from our sucky birthday parties. Needless to say the manly man did not believe the lowly woman and made me look through them anyways. What did I find? You guessed it!! CAP program and birthday parties. How does he repay me, by telling me one of our partner coaches thinks I am not shiny and bright enough and would rather go to the lazy happy jokester at the desk then me to help her with things. Well thats great. Good for her. When she is still waiting for two weeks for him to get it done when I could have done it in five seconds I will look at her, give her a great big happy smile, and ask her how her day is going.

Every other job I have worked at, including my waitressing job, has no problem with me. While it is agreed I am not the most open and bubbly person, I am perfectly sweet to customers and co workers and I am kick ass at my job. So why is this one so much different? Why do they pile on the responsibility and tell me I suck at life at every turn? I have no figured it out. Maybe it is me or maybe it is the people I work with. All I know is today I am thankful to have the day off, that I have a job in order to make a paycheck, that my family is around to pig out with, that my boyfriend can put up with me and loves me to pieces, that my friends love me and I love them, and that I have people fighting for my freedom whom I could not be prouder of and hope he comes back safe soon.
