Drama At Work...

So I currently work at Casey's in the town I live in. The store is about 3 minutes from where I live, so it's pretty convenient. Convenience is probably one of the only reasons I do not quit working there. The other being that I have to pay my car payment. Everytime I go to work it seems like there is more and more drama. People have told me, "You'll have that at any job." Well, it get kind of ridiculous when the main woman starting drama is in her 60's. Seriously now, can't she find something a little more interesting to fill her time with that to start drama between a couple of college students? Things at Casey's were pretty good when I first started there. I got along with a lot of the people, and actually became close friends with two of my co-workers. One of them is no longer at the store becuase this woman, we'll call her Jan, has brought in two minions that are driving everyone away. These two minions are her favorite, even though they do less than everyone there combined. This sounds like I'm just trying to find something to complain about, but honestly, we go through employees like it's nobody's business. We get a new worker every other month or so. Those of us who stick around (which is me, my friend Nikki, and a couple of older people) are all getting fed up. We've all come so close to quitting, and would have, if we had had solid other options for jobs. So this woman is the "1st assisstant manager" and she thinks she is the shit. If I wouldn't get fired, I would definately tell her nothing is bad ass about being the assisstant manager at Casey's! She walks around with her nose up in the air, like she is better than everyone. HELLO, YOU WORK AT CASEY'S FOR GOD'S SAKE! I could see having a little arrogance if you were the owner of the business or maybe a district manager, but seriously, you're the assisstant to the manager.

Well that's my bit of venting!

First Semester, Coming to an End!

As my first semester as a college freshman is quickly coming to an end, I begin to wonder what it is I want to do with my life. A question I believe many students ask themselves frequently. I have been asking myself this question since my junior and senior year in high school. I have had so many ideas of jobs I've wanted to have including cosmetology, teaching, nursing, social work, special education, etc. For some reason, everytime I think I know what I want to do, I change my mind or talk myself out of doing it. I know people say, "Just do what makes you happy," but I really don't know what is going to make me happy. I really enjoy cosmetology. Hair and makeup have always been an interest of mine. For some reason though, I feel like I won't be able to make a substantial living in that field. Teaching is a good career because you are off for the entire summer, but do I really want to teach? Making the decision of what career you want to pursue is a hard decision, and will definately affect you for the rest of your life. Maybe I'll just work at casey's for the rest of my life...NOT! I wish life could be easy, and that I was just born knowing exactly what I was going to do, knowing that I was going to be really good at it. No, that's not how reality works, is it? Sometimes I just wish I could go back to high school and cheer forever. Not be in high school, just cheer in high school. Maybe I will be a teacher so then I could find a position coaching cheerleading. For those of you who are going through the same thing I am, good luck to you!
