Wine is my bestest friend.
Work: Look...I'm not saving lives, right? I mean, I guess that's perception based considering I push alcohol for a living...but by and large I make very little difference in this world doing what I do. What's interesting to me is how my bosses can act like my job is such a big deal they have to nit pick every aspect of it. My good friend Liz is an engineer for Verizon and is in charge of the "switch" for several states. If her job is in jeopardy it is due to millions of people not being able to call 911 (not that that's ever happened...at least I don't think so. That's just how she explained it to me). Apparently, my job is in jeopardy because I left an espresso cup in a bar cooler. Nope, didn't piss off a customer. I cost the company no money. I left a cup in the cooler. Oh, and apparently there was some stickiness on the speed well. My bad on that. What's funny is that I think this is Karamic retribution for being such a dick when I was a manager. Anyway, like I say everytime they piss me off, time to find a new job. Ya know, the thing is I'm letting this get to me. There is nothing but me aggravating me right now. I have been rehearsing a speech to give the managers all night such as this: Hmmmm...that's interesting since I've been number one on the schedule consistantly, I was employee of the week, and won a wine contest. Seems like an excuse to me (which it is. I also was given the heads up that they are trying to promote someone into management and need to make room in the bar. How convenient). I don't know how it'll go down, but I'm glad to get to sleep off my irritation tonight. I wish I was advanced enough to not let this kind of thing get to me. But I know when I'm being fucked over. And I'm being fucked over. That being said I will try to put this past me and go with the flow. It wouldn't hurt to check things out around town in the meantime. See what's going on, ya know. I am certainly not married to this company. At all. All signs recently have pointed to getting the hell out of there.

those people at work seem crappy. bail on them and go rescue animals instead. read the first half "what should i do with my life" and then set it down. the second half ruins the whole book.
