Serious Buisness
So today was ok, but it had hurtles. Was early to work, but found out that the awesome Pokemon Platnium got trashed, which sucked. I wanted it, it had my name on it, but shit sucks, and nothing of value was lost. It's just cardboard, why rage over cardboard?
I had my 1 year review today, about 5 days ahead of schedule. I started on 4-04-08 (lol, day not found, hurr). I guess it's neat, I've kept a job for a year, that's an acheivable. Not that my job brings me joy or anything, it's the people there that make me want to stay. My PIC's are pretty awesome, co-workers are also amusing. Discounts on games and stuff help out a lot. But it is soul tearing, working with the general public.
I guess the main hurtle was finding out that Leilah is going to go find another job. Which really sucks. If it had been 6 months ago, or something like that, I'd be more than happy to start looking for another job with reckless abandon. But with the economy and unemployment rate4 so high, I hesitate. Having a year at a job is small form of seniority, but is usable in situations, and hopefully acts as a shield if the auto-axe comes flying out of nowhere.
Right now, I can't afford to go back to school, I need a better job for that. I need to get my A+ certification, or something that will get me a decent computer job somewhere. And if Leilah leaves, then I can imagine that I'd be less likely to want to stay at work. That was one of the main perks of working there.
tl;dr: Shit sucks.
