Let It Snow and other Annoyances...

The snow was beautiful to be honest, as it lightly fell to the ground in sheets of dotted ivory perfection...but I was at work, behind the glass of a retail store where I was growing more and more frustrated by the hour.
In a time where we should be thankful for our employment, I am completely disgruntled. I have given the corporation I work for almost 9 good years, I have dedicated myself, worked hard, given it my all, and done my best to do well for the company and it has only taken less than a year for one person to almost ruin all that for me.
I do not think people really understand how horrible retail is until they have worked in retail for an extended period of time, it is the most thankless and degrading job at times, where you are constantly dogged, there is no merit based improvement, and you fear constantly that the crap position you do have...you will lose.
So I make less than I have in years, I feel thankless in my work, I drudge through the day taking crap from someone out of fear that I might lose the job I have if I anger them and end up miserable.
It doesnt help that I am ill and that my dependence on the insurance and the job enables this one person to literally suck all the enjoyment out of work all together...
There is a way to make a place succeed and have the employees of that place not loathe being there...
My store never felt this way...
I miss it.

Stress

I am a ball of stress from time to time. With the pressure of school and attempting to complete college with a good GPA and a reputable name is hard enough but I also have a job and a husband and some sort of tiny social life that I attempt to keep up with...btw that pesky disease that drives me bonkers.
Right now I have a ton of papers to write, extra papers to write on top of that and my brain is hurting. I am reading more books on Stuart politics than I would ever think imaginable and I have more to do before I go to bed and wake up at 6 am so I can go work at a thankless job with no merit and no advancement beyond people being treated like shit...not the company I started working for so long ago, I used to love my job.
