I had a feeling yesterday that I would not be in a good mood today. Being right does not make me feel any better. It started okay, as I woke up before my alarm this morning and my throat didn't feel as bad as it had done the last week or so.
Things started to go bad on the way to work. Tesco wasn't open for some reason which means I had to use my break time to get food (breaks which have been cut by 15 minutes since I was last in).
I got to work and events which I cannot comment on meant that everything had changed and the guards did not seem to understand that we all have to work together at times like this. Two of the guards were competing to make sure they each got the easiest day, by ignoring the established roster, meaning that no one knew where anyone was all day. When I had words with them they didn't like it, complaining that I was "in one of my moods again." The truth was that, yes I was in one of my moods, but it is strange that I only get these "moods" when these two guards are on duty. Lazy fuckers.
The only piece of good news was that one of them informed me that he didn't want to do any overtime on my shift any more. Though that didn't make up for the rest of the day, or the fact that he has to work the next 2 days with me anyway as he has already agreed to it. Shit!
All day I was on the verge of walking out, and I can't see anything getting better there at all. I even told my boss that I was leaving as soon as I could. This wasn't a big surprise to him. I really need help with this job hunting thing as I haven't seen a job for weeks that I could apply for. I was tempted by one last week, but even though it was £11 per hour it was part time, meaning that I would be about £100 worse off a week! I could try to get a part-time job too, but there would be no guarantee that I could find one (and at a time when I want more money, so that I can move out, among other things).
Who's On-Line Now?

Hope things get better and improve for you.
I used to get so disgusted at work it would get me upset like this too.
Now that I'm disabled but poor as a church mouse I sure don't miss the workplace and the stress at all.
I'm sorry work is going so poorly, but take it from someone who's 'been there -- done that' it's better to have a BAD job, than NO job.
Find a better job first -- THEN tell them you're leaving.
