I Lost My Job

posted August 21

The entire night my eyes were bothering me…it was like they were on fire the whole night :( Damnit there always has to be something wrong with me! I have more problems than a freakin math book.

I woke up this morning with my eyes half swollen, most of the swelling went away but the irritation is still there. I feel like crap.

My neighbors are still creepy and according to what happened a minute ago, I just lost my job at the grocery store. The ‘manager’ AKA the woman who talks on the phone all day and stares at celery just called and told me that they won’t be needing me to come in anymore. Apparently they are content with having 2 guys working an entire grocery store. Every day, every night. Two workers. Of course I assume that they will have used this excuse to get me the hell out and then hire some other people in replacement of moi because that’s what people do.

They said they wanted to put me on hold until Ramadan is over but as far as I’m concerned I am DONE with the grocery store of death and the rude, ugly customers that come with it. You know the ones who roll up in their fancy Range Rovers and their coach purses but then pay with food stamps. YEAHHHH.

I wasted my time there but at least I’m being paid for what I worked these past 2 weeks. I’m kinda sad that it happened because I was happy having a job and earning money, but I knew I would eventually be screwed over in time. Sometimes I think I just wasn’t meant to have a job. Maybe God doesn’t want me to work, maybe he likes me just sitting around, watching TV, hanging out with my friends and eating chicken. Sounds like a great life to me.

I’m trying to apply at Best Buy, which would be WAYYY better to work at seeing I’m a nerd and that’s pretty much the land of nerds….so I would be much happier working at a professional setting rather than some old hairy arabic guy who drops his kids off to sit at the store and doesn’t know how to organize anything.

  5. It’s so ironic LOL
    I just lost my job the day before I was supposed to get paid. Their excuse was “business is running slow… we’ll put you on hold though!”
    Uhuh, I’m so sure.
    Anyways, I’m sorry about that, but you’re destined for better. :D
    Best Buy’s amazing, definately give it a shot
