Would You Like Some Cheese?

While I usually try to avoid using such strong language, I'm not afraid to say that I absolutely loathe the existence of useless, worthless, ethic-less, poor mannered, whiny, and complainy people, especially co-workers. I work with this one girl, who is so overly emotional, it's quite pathetic. I've seen her start crying at work several times now, which is just awkward because I'm not good with crying. And she whines and complains constantly! It's just on and on with the bawling and the complaining. Gah! It drives me nuts. I understand you're having a bad day and all, but PLEASE, check your baggage at the door, focus on your job, and don't feel the need to tell your every coworker, about how unbearable your life is. So anyway, today I didn't have the grandest of days (and yes I can complain about it here, because this is what this blog was made for). It was the first day of the spring semester, and I'm trying to figure out just what I was thinking when choosing my classes. On Mondays, I go from Psychological Science (okay-ish), to Spanish (Ick), to Statistics (gag!). After that I've got 5 hours at work, then a short break, followed by self-defense. The schedule just plain sucks. On top of that I've got a major migraine, and when I walked into work, Donna told me that she was going to put me on Pizzas (my favorite position), then changed her mind and put me on drinks and register (I don't know drinks, and I dispise register). So I'm working register, and half-way through my shift, the whiner comes in. I'm a great multi-tasker. I can easily be wrapping desserts, work register, and making a Latte, all at the same time. No sweat. So I take 1 step away from my register, to check on the Latte, turn around, and there the girl is, waiting on the next customer. And she keeps going too, totally ignoring me, until I cleared my throat a little. You see, it was marked down that I was the one on register, so if the money is off at night, I have to make up the difference. I DO NOT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE ON MY REGISTER! But then she left again, and things would have been fine, however, she did it 2 more times. Finally, the third time, I said "So, are you taking over here, or what? Cause I'll gladly work wraps if you don't want to." She whips around, very offended, and the tears come. "I was trying to help you, you know! A thank you would be nice." To which I replied "Yes, but unnecessary because I didn't need the help, a fact that was kinda obvious." So now I feel guilty because I upset that girl, but really, is there anything to feel guilty about? She was out of line, touching my register and invading my space and all. Yet I still feel guilt.

You see, that main issue, is the fact that I like to keep a good Christian work ethic. Since everyone I'm working with is a Christian as well, I like to think that they should also aspire to the same work ethic. It's fairly simple, I work as though God were right beside me watching my every move. My employer is paying me for my time. Therefore, I shouldn't be on my cell phone, or chatting it up with friends, or just zoning out. I should be keeping busy doing work. Also, I like to do everything with pride. If you're going to take the time to do something, do it right. Do it with pride! It was once said that "A tree pleases God, by doing it's job well. By being the best tree, it can be." We should all live by the philosophy. I can serve God by being the best student/cafe worker/daughter/friend/sister/many other things, I can be. I get so irritated when people just don't give a damn about their jobs. Why the hell are you even here then? Just go home, if you don't care!
