Work drama. Read if you want...

Okay. So, I'm one of those people who despise office drama.
With a flying passion.
I've tried to avoid it where I can.
But somehow..... It's found me.

And by a persons whom I never would have expected.
Who I thought I could trust to cover my a ss.
I guess it really is watch-your-ass in my department.

I was hired to do what was in the job description. I'm there for a specific reason: to do labor for money so I can pay for college expenses and my own necessities.

I was not hired so I could make their life easier in any way.
I was not hired so they can leave early or take a day off.
I'm working with them too. Doing the same damn jobs. Going through the same damn things.
But I'm also trying to get through college at the same time.
On the other hand, this job is all they do. Every day.
I think one would call that laziness? Inconsiderate? Rude? Selfish?

Whatever it is, I'm sick of it.
And my answer is
NO.

Good job. x.x

Found out that my comparison essay is due tomorrow at 9:45 AM.
Go me and my distractions.


This... is so fail.
x3

Afterwards, I get to work on my speech presentation/powerpoint and study for a 2nd Japanese midterm.

THEN I get to catch up on the thousands of romance novel series and Final Fantasy 4 on DS. :] Oh what joy in my life. <3


Mission....................Extreme fail, and still writing.

Life Lesson

Blah.

There are too many emotions to name that are in my brain.

There's no way in hell that a sane person with no car living in SAN DIEGO can hold down a part-time 5-day a week office job, be a full-time university student and actually PASS all their classes, go to hula on Saturdays, spend not even a day with one friend, and keep up with my hobbies that actually give me character.

There is NO WAY. I don't understand why my mom doesn't get this at all.

What do you guys think?

Job Update

Well, I've talked to my HR person, and I have Fridays off so I can actually get school work turned in on time. x.x
It's a start, for me at least.

And amazingly, I've only just realized just how shielded my life has really been.
No, seriously... >->

Though at this point in time, I really would love to just move out and experience the world with Aki. <3
She's like my big sister, best friend, and wife (without sex and making out) all rolled into one magnificent person. :]


Mission.........still fail, but not as much...

Not so much, but still fail

So on Friday, I finally had the chance to talk to my boss about my work schedule (yes, I've been trying all damn week, but she's either been out or busy. ><). So I now have Fridays off! No more work for Yuka on Fridays! woo! I can finally get all my homework done AND have a social life. <3

I've been missing my friends so damn much. Not that I have very many true friends to hang out with anyways. >->

Now I just have to figure out a way to tell my mom....
She DID say that I'm on my own with this job, but somehow, I don't believe her. O: I wonder why that is?! -gasp-

-ahem- anyways...

Overall mission.................................not a complete and utter failure!

I'm numb.

I don't see how this can possibly work without me having several nervous breakdowns.
I don't believe I can have a 5-day work schedule until 5:30 AND ace my classes.
I really feel cut off from my friends. From the rest of my family. From what I want to do.
I feel like a robot going on day-by-day doing the same thing with no emotions.
Just eat, sleep, school, work.
That just doesn't fit. I have goals I'd love to acheive, yet I feel as if I'm doing absolutely nothing.
I need my friends. I need my family.

The money doesn't matter anymore.

Mission.................complete failure at the moment.

How fail is this?

A lot's happened since I last posted, but there's one thing in particular I'd like to address. I've finally gotten a job after the last one I had (which was retail sales at a halloween store in October last year. >->) This one is a pretty good paying job for what I have to do. Office services clerk, meaning all I'd have to do to get a paycheck is to walk around about every 4 hours delivering mail, copying, sometimes faxing, and answer phones. And it's no where near minimum wage. O:

However there are some major fail aspects to this:
For one, my mother has been working at the law firm for over 10 years. (You can tell how I got the job. xD) So I'd be getting to see her EVERY SINGLE DAY now.

Another aspect: it's a Monday through Friday job that goes until 5:30. So I go straight there from class. >< It seems like I won't be able to have time for anything else other than school, work, eat, and sleep, right? But I'm Yuka, I'll somehow make time and room for everything else. :] Somehow.

Our AkiYuka time has been nearly cut away. Nearly being the key word. As I said I'll somehow find a way to make it.

Overall mission............................................I don't know yet. I'll let you know once I start working.

-Yuka

PS: Aki, I promise I'll remember it. :] <3
