*&%$#@%

I am absolutely drained. I know I say this a lot, but I'll say it again.... I REALLY DISLIKE MY JOB! The problem is right now I cannot quit because they have allowed me the time I need off for this summer: Weddings, Graduations, Baby Showers, Wedding Showers, Baby Deliveries, etc... As soon as I can I'll be searching for a better job. One that's less stressful. For those of you who don't know I work at Wal-mart. It's pretty much a sweatshop. I'm so aggravated, because I do my job I am constantly taken from one area to the next and it is so frustrating for someone who likes to get one thing done before she starts another. At the end of the night I end up having 30 'irons in the fire'.

I am physically drained. Emotionally drained. I told my manager, the one that is nice to me, that I was tired of working my ass off to be taken advantage of. He agreed with me because he sees that we're *Hollie and I* are being shit on.

I hate the fact that I get so pissed, I hate that I can't be respected for the good work that I do, I really hate the fact that I get aggravated enough to let it come home with me. It's not like me to be on edge because of a job. I'm going to take the initiative and look elsewhere even if it means a pay cut.

Trust me Char...there has GOT to be something out there that does not cause this much stress. I mean honestly, this is a job that is supposed to be getting us thru college...not make us hate getting up in the morning. I just don't know how much more I can take. I not only bring it home, but now find myself constantly dwelling on how much I don't like it or dread having to go back. Surely not every job can be this horrible...people say its the same anywhere you go. I PRAY THEY ARE VERY WRONG!!! Look at it this way, not too much longer and the opportunity to excape will arive and hopefully, just hopefully life will be a million times better for the both of us. Try not to stress this weekend and enjoy Stori's wedding and your weekend away.
