My life at Work

I have been working at a Department Store for the past 5 months. A new mall has opened near us. It is an outdoor mall-boutique style shops, all opening into a plaza. I lost my job about year and half ago and was unemployed until this new shops started construction. I was so excited about getting a job that I didn’t care they pay so little and you can only have health insurance if you work 35 hours or more and if you go under that, they cancel your insurance!!!

I had worked retail years ago when in college and I thought “GREAT, this might be fun”. The new job started pretty fun at first except for those first few days when my back was killing me and my feet were on fire….Then everything went down the hill. They started LAY OFFS! We started with 25 people in my department and now we are down to 11.

It is not good to have a job that puts so much pressure on you. I go in everyday and I think well, this might be my last day and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was…. I have to prepare myself for it mentally.

Anyways, I should be greatful as I HAVE A JOB….

I hear you! I give thanks that people still want entertainment and bowling is one of the cheaper options. Even though not everyone comes into the bar, we get enough that the tips keep us afloat with the current economy. I guess all we can do is be patient and pray our government is going to improve things!
