Decompressing...

This has been a rough week in a lot of ways...

Work has been exceptionally physical this week, and busy, busy, busy.
Just as I was finishing my shift Tuesday, I got called up to the register.  I ran right up there to help out for a few minutes, when one of my managers came over to me and made a comment that completely devastated me. 

I like all of my bosses, but I don't like being compared to everyone else.  There were customers standing there in line to overhear too.  I was so humiliated - if it hadn't been so close to the end of my shift, I think I would have walked out.  It hurt, especially with how hard I have worked this week.

Quitting my job is not an option, so I just have to find a way to deal with it.

I've had the last 2 days off, so I have been wallowing.

Yesterday, I worked on some things I was asked to do for the Relief Society's Super Saturday this weekend.  I've also been listening to some really old tunes that I dug up on youtube.

Petula Clark.  Remember her?  I loved her songs as a teen - this video is a hoot - especially the go go dancers...



I've also been doing a lot of pinning...  When things aren't going well, that's where I go lately - it requires nothing of me, and is kind of a soothing passtime.  While browsing yesterday though, I found this:


That's how I feel so often these days.  It feels like everything that is good, happy and fun is pretty much over for me.  I'm just going through the motions, waiting for it all to be overwith.
 Not a healthy mind-set, but that's where I'm at today. 

Maybe if I go try to make something pretty, I'll feel better.

Here's hoping...

Pat, I am sorry your boss hurt you with your words!! People can be so mean and not even realize it! Can you talk to your boss?? Explain that you didn't appreciate being called out in a public environment?

The thing that makes me so angry is that cashiering isn't even part of my job - I only go up to help out when things are backed up. I don't care about my numbers or whether I'm fast enough to please.

I do everything they tell me to do - I just wish that would be enough, you know?

Cyberhugs Pat, and I second BAHGL - that supervisor actually needs the feedback. Hope you get a proper weekend and some crafting time soon - I miss your scrapworthy updates :-)
