like my job

I need to like it! :’(

I quit the job I hated and doing what I love and I am the boss! I guess I can mark this one completed! YAY

I want to like going to work every day instead of just settling for something “to pay the mortgage”

to like something I am less than passionate about. And trust me, I’m not passionate about this job at all. Perhaps one day I will truly find that job that makes me excited to think about, the job that I have always been dreaming of. Who knows? I do know one thing though, and that is that I will NEVER like working at Kohl’s. I do not like to work for people who treat me like a child, who say I have to ask permission to go the bathroom…I forgot I was working at a sweatshop…but, I’m past that. I will not let them make me bitter. I know there are better things ahead for me, I am applying to the dental hygiene program this semester. Hopefully if all goes well, I am on my way to becoming a hygienist and getting that dream job.

This one is a work in progress due to the people I work with. I need to combine some of my other mental goals to overcome this one. I like my job but its only LIKE. Its a rut and only I can change that by changing my outlook.

Today I will list my loves & hates and see how things can be changed for the better.

My boss is a tyrant and a phoney (fake teeth, fancy car aligator shoes & all… P-H-O-N-E-Y) and so many superficial people brown nosers day in day out.

I don’t know how to “play the game” nor do I want to because I don’t kiss people’s butts and acting like one of them isn’t in my nature, I am too rebellious to be “one of them.” I have been there 10 years, I’ve accomplished allot all on my own merits but now I’m bored as Hell.

I am tired of sitting all day, tired of the same goals. I am tired of covering for people that don’t carry their load, then, when someone finally picks up someone else’s slack, they broadcast it all over the newswire THEY went the extra mile “look at me”—Here’s you brownie button Betch, I could really care less.

I don’t know what I want to do when I grow up so I need to like it and make it work until I find something I WANT to do.

It’s hard but I will try to like it and treat everyday NEW

(until I can escape)

ahhh. i must go back to work today. i am not looking forward to it, since i didn’t show up to work on sunday i do not know what kinda trouble i will be in. hopefully none!

and i’m not doing so good on this goal. it’s the holiday season tho. i hope people aren’t normally this crazy when they go shopping! i am not liking my job at all though, it’s impossible to go on break or even to get off my shift.
being a cashier ain’t easy! it sucks. it’s boring, tiring, and irritating. people are nuts, like i said. why do they always bring things up without the price tags? i get that all the time. then there are the scammers. they tell me, “this is supposed to be 50% off!” half the time i am nice and just mark it down within reason, but sometimes i’m just not that dumb! I KNOW there are some things that the store never marks down.
Also, why can’t people be nicer? i am always nice at the register, except when people start giving me an attitude.
I am also human and need to go on break sometimes. But, that never happens when it’s supposed to. I always go on my break all late. No manager ever comes and tells me, go on break. NOOO. Then I get in trouble when I just leave my register to go on break, or to get off my shift, because I didn’t let a manager know. But why should I chase them down? I page them, yet they never respond. Other cashiers never mind their own business. “WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” (I was supposed to be off ten minutes ago) “WHERE WERE YOU?” (I was on my break)
The thing is, I don’t like being questioned by others who are cashiers like me. It’s one thing if they were to just ask me nicely out of curiosity, but these girls are just plain bitchy!
so…that’s my story.
of working at Kohl’s.
I don’t like it, not one bit!
tomorrow is christmas eve, and i must work tonight from 4 to 12:30. but, not showing up is on my mind!

working at kohl’s makes me tired! I still cannot believe stores are open that late for the holiday season. we closed at midnight, now i am about to enjoy a hot chocolate!!!!mmm…

not because i want to work there forever-i most certainly do not- but, i do just want to have a mutual like for the job i have now until i become a dental hygienist.
i had to sacrifice my previous job in order to go to school. that was a job i enjoyed. wasn’t particularly crazy about my co-workers, but i loved the job. i was an orthodontic assistant. i adjusted braces. it was great.
but, i decided to move to urbana, il to pursue my educational goals in the dental field. i didn’t have a job for a few months, but now money is a little bit tight in our household, so I got a job at Kohl’s.
I didn’t like the idea of working at Kohl in the middle of the holiday season, but I felt I needed to work in order to contribute a little to our family. So, now I work at Kohl’s as a cashier.
I don’t want to hate it. There is already so much corporate b.s. i have to deal with, but I am trying to look at the bright side.
Like, today, I called off work because I have a pretty bad cold and the manager I spoke with didn’t wish me to get well or anything like that. Her response was, “Oh my God!” I mean, I already felt bad enough, but, I’m too sick…what am I supposed to do?
Anyway, I’m going to try to stay positive. I will try but I cannot guarantee anything!
