Workplace Drama

You know when you meet someone for the first time, and you just know that you aren't going to get along...

So work so far is easy, tiring though. I work with a bunch of teens that are hormone crazy and lazy... The worse one being a girl named Jessica... She is nice, but she looks like a bitch. It's been a few nights now that I close with her and I end up doing most of the work, or else nothing gets done properly and I end up getting a lecture, though I work my ass off. So last night I decided to complain about it.

See two days ago I closed with her again. It wasn't busy at all, I started the dishes early and all. She came to talk to me for a bit. Started closing the cooler, and then a friend came to see her. She went outside for a bit, maybe 5 minutes and then came back in. I finished the dishes and she still wasn't done with the kitchen. She kept getting distracted by her cell phone, ALL NIGHT that thing was ringing. I even know her ring tone now. "Freak in the mornin', freak in the evening" ugh. I ended up cleaning most of the store and she only did the cooler area. I was dog tired. And she even asked me to do things, like fill the mop bucket for her, and put up the dining room chairs... I was like, bitch, what the fuck are you doing? She did easy stuff, like closing the register......... So I told the crew leader for the night (who happens not to like her) and he had me write a complaint and sign it. I didn't say anything to her the night before, I wasn't planning to. But this is not the first time she pulls this crap. And the boss is threatening to fire those who don't do things correctly, I have bills to pay now, I can't afford to lose this job, however crappy it may be.

I hope things aren't so tense at work today. I hate conflict. Usually I'm not this big a bitch, but she struck a chord. She is not a bad person, but she takes advantage. I have never been in this kind of situation before and it makes me feel all shaky and nervous. I am dreading going in today :(

Then there is the fact that I've realized that socializing at work is out of the question. They are all 4-5 years younger than I am... Live in different planets. One of em had a friend ask me to buy them alcohol last night... I sounded "uncool" and like a "bitch" but I told them NO straight up... Gave them lectures and everything. I don't know where that came from LOL, guess the adult side of me saw a bunch of morons and it aggravated me.

*Sigh, I need a better job. Perhaps I will find another. I will look around if the waters become rocky. But until then I will stick this one out. I just hope everything turns out alright. I hope that I can handle the stress I will endure today.

There are worse things going on in the world. This isn't chaos or anything... I'm just in a state of mind in which little things are overwhelming, and people are intimidating. What the hell happened to the confident carefree me? I used to be able to do anything.
