Excuses and Complaints · 9:00am Nov 23rd, 2014
So, I know I don't have many followers, but I feel the need to justify my lack of progress and give a little status update. In the last year and a half of my life I essentially did nothing. Most of my day was spent on my computer or playing video games. It was during this period that I really got into MLP and started writing my story. In July, I finally decided to go get a job. I figured it would give me some life perspective and try to figure out where I want to go in life. I got a job with one of my best friends in an Albertsons deli. Around the same time, my current computer's cooling fan went out, basically bricking the thing. I ordered myself a gaming laptop from Origin PC. I don't know what they were doing over there, but what was promised to take only 1-2 weeks, took 2 long months. I largely lost interest in my writing during that time. In the months prior I had thought it and another one shot I had in mind to death. I still plan on doing both one day. Point is, my lack of a computer for so long and the stresses of my new job have kept me busy. My manager is a micromanaging control freak that doesn't know what she's doing and it stresses me out a lot worrying about what problems she's going to cause us all the next day. I'm very tempted to quit. I know if I did, most of the other deli workers would come with me. We all hate her. She once dragged me up to the offices for throwing away deli meat past the sell by date. Told me to never EVER throw anything away, and that it's her call. We've had meat back there over a week past sell by before. I don't even look anymore. Luckily, we're busy enough that most things get used up, but there's always a few less popular things getting up there in age. I think I found a corned beef three weeks past before. Basically, she's a greedy psycho bitch that literally everyone in the store, including our store director, hates with a passion, but she's been there for 37 years so she's never gonna get fired unless she really fucks up. She's also making me work at 7 AM on Thanksgiving after giving me a 1-10 the night before. So, that's my life for the past 5 or so months. Sorry if it got a little ranty or whiny, but I figured an update and some venting would be good.
