Working Woes

Normally I don’t make a post about working cause I don’t like to discuss what I do at work in depth to any degree. Especially I don’t like to talk about my boss or co-workers cause that can lead to trouble at one point or another cause I actually do love everybody I work with cause even though we make more work for each other we all work at the same job in the end. One of my personal rules is to make sure you get the job done and I have a huge amount of freedom at my job when I am done getting what I need to get done, done. Now the big question is what do I do with that extra time? While I have not been completely innocent with my free time at my job I certainly avoid getting into trouble, I stick to tiny mistakes due to the fact I am sleepy at work and I am not careful enough.

Now two of my co-workers which are a real lot of fun got into trouble big time, twice. Not sure what the second bit of trouble they got into but my boss figured it was time to let them go. As I told her, I am not management and I just work here, but I still feel the loss of two of the harder working employees here. I do not consider myself one of those hard working employees while my manual labor is up to par for the amount I am paid my extra care with numbers and intelligent tasks can lack here and there, mostly due to my sleepy nature. I find myself now boosted to and second most senior staff member here under my boss and as funny as it sounds I don’t like it. The thought that I will be training someone curdles my blood and not cause I cannot do it but cause I know how silly my job is. Silly as in the business and how it is run, we make money and we manage to do it fairly well as far as I understand but it is very relaxed and in that sense, silly.

Right now I dread the abuse of me, cause I work nights 12a-8a I live a hard schedule to interact with others and if I work any more strange hours it will break me. College is tough enough but to extend myself from night into afternoon hours is way too much without a nap or a big time break. I pray this doesn’t happen cause I kinda like it here, it has been a year and this is the longest time I’ve worked a job before.

Sorry for the sob story, I’ll try not to do this again.
