Lately, things have been taking the turn for the better. Recently, a piece of shit team lead got dropped and she used to intimidate and threaten me. She was very unprepared for the role, obviously did it for the money and whatnot. She has been with my store for about 10 months, so yeah, she was bound to go at somepoint.

I had to re-adjust my schedule when I was pulled into HR yesterday, because the manager after a year and 2 months of having this 10-8-8-10 format schedule of mine, wanted me to adjust. So now I'm on 8-8-8-8 which doesn't bother me because;

I don't have to worry about going to sleep earlier than normal when I get back from work the night prior. I don't have to worry about accounting for dumbfucks in day crew about fucking me over when they don't want to help or that they do help but do a poorer job in helping me, plus I don't have to deal with a mountain of shit expected to be done in 2 hours, that's finally over.

Sure that makes me a part-timer but I still make enough to cover my monthly expenses in the combination of bi-weekly payments. 64 hours combined, yeah I've seen the numbers, I can make it and still have some left over because I don't try living luxuriously.

So I have a nice work-life balance, some shitty people got tossed to the wayside and I'm not complaining about making a little less than what I'm used to. What's wrong now? Well I still work around prissy management and that stupid fucks can still get me fired anyways, customer or personnel.

Not sure what kind of store you work for, but maybe it’s because you want more fulfillment in how you spend the bulk of your day? I used to work in corporate law and it was easy work but everything was so mind numbing and soul sucking. I switched to non profit work and never looked back. Now, no matter what hurdles I experience, I still feel happy at work because what I do is helping the world.
