The work was hardly good today. I do not believe I made any mistakes worth mentioning. I charged for most (if not all) of the extra things I had to charge, did not give away any free drinks, and I did not write down wrong order for things. If anything, the only wrong thing I did was getting to work late… I am sure my boss is not approving of my action, but I will say that I blame it on “hectic” lifestyle.
And yet, I have been asked to work harder than I needed to be. Do you not see that I am helping other people? Do you not see that I am putting up the tapes for use later, so what is wrong with sitting down for a second while doing so? I got flacks from the bosses (husband and wife, actually) for sitting down and not appearing to do any work. It is understandable, I think. When I sit down to do some of the work that I am supposed to do, I am behind a small partition, seeming to do a little bit of nothing, when I am in fact working.
These are terrible times for businesses, and pretty much everyone working. Rarely do I hear of business picking up in any field whatsoever, and usually when one business falters, it makes ripples around wherever the businesses are—employees are fewer and work less hours, spend less, and affects other businesses that caters to that business… and we are feeling it, all right. I am guessing that causes tempers to flare up.
So, I am seething. Then the lady asks me about my future plans… you know, what I am going to do for summer, that kind of things.
I have no idea, I told her. I am thinking about doing internship or a summer job, probably, but since I do not even know what my major is going to be after this semester, I do not know.
Then she tells me that I might be better off going elsewhere when summer comes, if business does not pick up.
Yeah, terrible time, indeed.
So what am I going to do? I have little other to do than to look for a job and such. Oh, this will be tough. I do not know what to think anymore. This is very draining.
