It takes every fiber of my being...

Not to just walk out and quit the stupid Wash U bookstore. I can't stand it, but I do only have two more shifts, 9-1 tomorrow, and 9-2 Thursday. That's only 9 hours. I can handle it but I wish I didn't have to. At least all the book hauling is quite the calorie burning activity. And my arm muscles are doing pretty good, too. ;)

But, what bugs me the most is the obvious misery that the managers and supervisors are living in, yes they don't seem to want to do anything about it. I honestly can't stand watching semi-intelligent people in dead end jobs moan and complain about every little aspect of the job that absolutely no one is forcing them to keep. It kills me to know that someone could be a mere 14 credit hours away from a college degree, and still can't figure out a way to make it happen, so instead they make life miserable for themselves and also attempt to do so to everyone around them.

I know just as well as anyone, college is expensive. But for pete's sake, there are a million different ways to pay for it, including just being a broke student with a million loans who is going to have a way higher earning potential when all is said and done. Take one class a semester. Stop buying flipping Starbucks and new clothes and take the bus and finish your stupid degree and move on!

The same goes for people who are just unhappy in their actual job, degree or no degree or whatever. Do something about it. Get off your butt, stop crying and whining, and change your situation. No one's gonna do it for you. Yes it can be scary to make that jump away from the easy and familiar sights of the only thing you think you know. But honestly, it isn't so hard to move on from something you don't like. I know. I do miss my friends from my old job, but there are some people that I have happily forgotten ever existed, and many aspects of the job that I am so glad I will never have to deal with ever again. Even being broke off my you know what right now, I am still happy I left. And if all you do is complain all the time, you can be sure that you will find yourself with no one left to listen before long.
