this DAY
was absolutely ridiculous.
I'll never complain about what I get to do for a living right now. Hanging out with kids is such a blast and teaching them and making those connections has made me so incredibly happy that I know I couldn't just go because my boss drives me crazy. Because he definitely does. But still, I get through it, it's fine. I feel like he's not really manager material -- he won't cover shifts because he thinks it's "inappropriate" and I disagree. When I was working at Chick-fil-a, my manager cooked fries and washed dishes and rang up customers and mopped and made lemonade and everything because she knew exactly what a manager was supposed to do. I just don't feel like there's a good excuse for him not helping us out. It's not like he's older and married and has a family and can't stay later at work -- he's 25, which I guess explains everything.
And then he asksfor my opinion when we hire people, and during the last round of hires, I expressed that I did not want to hire this specific girl because I thought her attitude was poor and she was looking for a management position she could get really quickly, which is not how our company works. And now I find out she's telling people she's looking for another job.
I guess the silver lining in all of this is I did get a person to help me today, and it showed me she was willing to rearrange things to help out a coworker in need. Because we have to look out for one another and help each other out. Our team doesn't work well if we don't.
Negative stuff, vented about. It's out there, I dealt with it, I'm going to be okay. Good stuff? I guess I'm looking forward to Easter and stuff. I haven't mentioned this yet, but my mom and my sister and I have been converting to Catholicism. The Catholic church and I don't agree on a great number of things, most of those being social issues and my uterus -- but I've been going to mass for about a year now, and I've really gotten closer to a more spiritual part of myself and, I guess, closer to God. I've enjoyed the feeling and it's been really good for my family. Also I really like mass, it's very cathartic for me. When I do an entire service from start to finish, I don't think about anything else.
I've got this app on my phone, it's called She Read Truth and it's got some great things on it. It's got a bible you can bookmark passages in, and there's a part where you can get hymns and things. Some really nice things I read today:
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction.
And then this as well, which I liked.
John 14:1-2
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You belive in God; believe also in me.
My father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Anyway, I think that's a good thing to end on. I do feel better having read and written that down
