just can't keep goin' on....
I hate my job. I don't think I'm able to do one thing right there. If I'm helpful, I'm stealing the thunder from the other, more deserving employees. If I do exactly what I'm supposed to do, they hint that I should take the initiative. If I take the initiative, I'm chastised for being somewhere I'm not supposed to be. And nothing is clear. Never does anyone tell me I'm doing something right or doing something wrong. It's all hints and suggestions, eyebrows and tone of voice, micro inequities and passive aggression.

I *hate* my job. And I'm stuck with it for at least another seven months.

It's times like you're having that I remember why I don't like interacting with people in general. Maybe everyone icky will suddenly up and quit and you'll get a new, wonderful set in. Or who knows? Seven months might fly by. I wish I could do something helpful. :( Call me if you need a good vent.

If it makes you feel any better, *I* want to keep you.

Hmmmm, but not necessarily in the locked-up-in-the-closet-to-be-brought-out-at-inappropriate-times sort of way. :)

LOL. Are you sure about the closet? Not that I'm good at standing still for that perfect entrance-at-an-inappropriate-moment thing. But I might do a nice job imitating a poltergeist....

And, yes, it does make me feel better. :D Although things have been better in general, really. Thank goodness. Life is so much more pleasant when one can bear one's job. Not to mention less inexpensive...not so much money going toward the Alcohol For Miserable Booksellers Fund.

Well, I do have a large closet here at home, but that doesn't help at work. We could use the cafe closet - it's close and it has food! :)

I've contributed enough to the Alcohol for Miserable Booksellers Fund! Perhaps in the future we shall be able to contribute to the Alcohol for Not-So-Miserable Booksellers Fund or the Alcohol for Former Booksellers Fund.

Also, I hope you don't think that it's entirely weird of me to read (and comment) on the way-back entries. It's a quirk of mine. I've gotten a year back - I'll do more later. :)

I don't mind at all. When I get a chance, I'll probably do the same thing to you. Especially since you have an awesome amount of memes. I *love* memes...and quizzes...and, lately, stamping communities. Sigh. I'm just going to have to figure out a way to work your memes into my lj without annoying the rest of my flist. Maybe I'll do some now and save the others for later, when I really, really want to do one. ::ponders::

And I can't tell you how much I'm liking the idea of that Alcohol for Former Booksellers Fund. It's like all the perks and camaraderie of the bookseller league without all the retail annoyances. :)
