I'm tired of my ignorant co-workers and customers. I'm tired of drunks wanting to make babies with me. I'm tired of second shift always complaining about what first shift didn't do while failing to recognize that they, too, failed to do their job because all they did all shift was complain about what first shift didn't do (I know. I know.). No one has anything nice to say about their co-workers. Everyone 'hates' their job and wants to quit. I adore Gene, but let's face it; he's 28, no college degree, still lives at home, and has been at WaWa for close to eight years... with no intention of becoming a manager. He bitches the whole night about being there and I'm tired of it and says the most ignorant, hickish, uneducated things... that it gives me a headache.
There's no discipline for slackers. The new MIT's (managers in training) are habitually late, steal, do drugs, don't know how to lead others, and only speak negatively about their job and co-workers.
If I had had another job lined up, I'd have quit last night. I can't stand all these people complain about how terrible WaWa is... when they don't actively change anything. I can't... stand that. Complaining does no one any good. It's unproductive gabbing.
There's something else bothering me... Zach. Go figure right?
There's this girl that he plays frisbee with that, he claims, is always looking at him and texting him and hanging out with him (I met her once and was very unimpressed). I guess they were talking about her getting a job at a nearby pet store, and after Zach finishes that part of the story, he says, "How awkward would it be if she got a job with Anna Maria (his ex) and we made out!!" My response?
"SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!" in a horrified, OMFG voice. "well yeah..." he says, "but I don't think she likes him very much..." and proceeds to list the reasons why he thinks that she doesn't "like" her boyfriend.
Not too long ago (last summer, in fact) I was in a similar situation... but on the other end. I was happy, I was content, and then I noticed that things were changing. There was a distance from me and a short temper towards me forming. As far as I knew, I had done nothing and we weren't in a bad relationship. We don't fight, get annoyed at each other, get pissed off, get jealous, etc. I didn't know what was going on but I was really busy with my co-op and I think I was still working at the Market then... So I let it continue. It got to a point where he wanted to break up... and I found out why; he had been talking to someone else. She was actively trying to destroy a relationship that she knew to be totally healthy and happy.
I guess it's easy when you don't know that persons significant other because there's no face, no personality to put to the name so you feel distanced and removed from any emotional stress that you are putting that person through by tempting their significant other. I was torn and hurt and pissed and confused and could not believe that another person would selfishly and actively destroy a relationship because they think they're owed the happiness that others have worked for. Probably worse was the fact that I was trusting and tolerant of this other person and I ended up being blind-sided.
We've recovered and are stronger for it, but I am less tolerant and less trusting of this other person than I was before. Sometimes I feel bad for being suspicious and for asking questions... but I, under no circumstance, want to experience that again. And I can't believe that Zach is playing that sabotaging role and was surprised when I was spoke so strongly about it. This girl was probably content in her relationship... but when someone starts getting attention from a third party, they get excited, they get a high and they can't get enough.
This is one of those instances when I can honestly say that all Zach is concerned about is getting his dick wet and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit around and have him regale me about the relationship he's destroying just for a fuck. If he continues with this and puts that girls boyfriend through what I nearly experienced... so help me, Zach, I am going to destroy your Jew ass. Back the fuck off and think about someone else for a change.
I can't stand it. I won't tolerate it.
