space-oddity's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- retail is shit the rain made the air quite humid and moist today. made it a mistake to wear a wool cardigan to work. warmer outside than it has been lately, the whole getup just seemed so uncomfortable after awhile. wool gets itchy when the temperature is not cool enough to wear it, especially when it mixes with water. i was sweating a little, but i didn't want to take it off because the shirt underneath had [has] a stain. obviously, someone hasn't done laundry in a while. i'm a pathetic scene. also, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the above statement, i don't like it when people call the store and ask me for the phone number of one of our competitors. get a phone book. and get some manners. retail is crap work, and with my two jobs, retail is essentially what i do every single day. seven lousy days a week. i'm going absolutely crazy. i'm tired of selling stuff to people. i'm tired of whiny bastards going on and on about how they're a good customer and customer is always right because it's rubbish and it's bullshit because 9 times out of 10 my customers are wrong. i'm sorry. i just feel i have a warrant to do some complaining. so what if business is soft right now, that shouldn't mean i have to kiss crappy ass to earn every dollar. i get trampled upon day in and day out for not much money, just like the rest of the retail and service industry. the next time you're having a bad day, and you decide you want to feel mighty and powerful by talking down to some defenseless retail worker, please think twice. they might follow you home and do something you wish they wouldn't. you just can't be sure that they're not on the verge. i wish that i could act like a robot at work. i wish that they could program me to have 100% no feelings each eight hour shift. and i also wish that strangers didn't have the ability to make me cry - my achilles heel. i'm just wasting my life away in retail hell. i have not a single goal right now. not a single place to go. not up or down. i'm just somewhere in the middle and very uncomfortable. sometimes i wish i could just function as one single automated system. content and fixed. so i'm taking this weekend off, and i'm very happy for it. ! you know, i go off on rants like that sometimes, and i think to myself, "you're talking about yourself too much again," but then i have to remember that this is my diary, and that is what people do in diaries. 2:06 am - 01.30.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
