Panic at work.

Work is almost fun now with us closing at 11 p.m. Well, it was probably fun the last week just because the fact that the ‘boss’ was in New York for some wedding. So, with her gone, there’s really was no stress at work. Hell, even everyone else seemed to be pretty mellow for the last week, and it was a good time. I like it best when I can go to work, and actually just have fun while there. Usually, my job is just stressful, but when I can relax and talk to some of the other people, it’s a lot better.
Flash forward a week, and my boss is back in town. So, all my fun at work will be curtailed, and soon I will just be a bitter, disgruntled employee like usual. The amazing thing about this though, is how much synergy a bad manager can instil in their employees. For example, I’ve been told my raise is “in the system” for 5 months now. Why would I work hard for her? She’s screwing me over basically. I hate her for that.
I would destroy her if I could. It’s not like the store is the shining example like it once was. There’s cockroaches around everywhere for example. I tried to fix one of our computers that was down because the network cable (which we use to bootload off of) was unplugged. I turned the computer over so I could get access to the port, and damn near dropped it when a cockroach came out. Yet, whenever I complain, she writes it off as ‘not that bad’. Aren’t cockroaches bad, period?
It’s just small stuff like that that makes her no good. From what I hear, all the other store managers hate her. It would be cruel irony for her to, like, be shit canned or something. One can dream right?
