Be glad you have it
Just earlier today, I was working and it was incrediably busy, as is the lunch hour. IM working on table which means i assemble the sandwiches for you guys to nom on. I continue doing my job and make burger after burger, then one of the associates from the front say that "hey, wheres my cheeseburger with no onions?"
I say back, "I sent it up there about 4 sandwiches ago, but ill make another one"
Now I didnt mind it this time, but by the 7th time they asked for burgers that I already made, i got pissed because its slowing us down and making our time totals go up. I basicly raise my voice because the front kept blaming me for all of their missing sandwiches, which is BS because if anybody knows me when i work i work in a certain order that i make sure i get every sandwich.
we argue for a little while but eventually she shut me up by saying, "Its Mcburger! youre not supposed to take this job seriously"
Which brings me to my point....I did not have a job for 6 months, and my unemployment was BARELY enough to pay the bills. I submitted applications a few days after i got fired, and kept sending them in.
Having sent in probably over 40 applications, i got 3 call backs and 1 interview. I blew all the call backs, but the interview was with mcdonalds.
i nearly gave up after the 5th month, because i wasnt going to school at the time, and i had to start paying my student loan bill at the time. That interview, while at a crappy job, did give me alot of self appreciation.
Point being, No matter what job you are in, its always a job that you should work your best at. I know this because i asked my manager later that day if he would reccomend me at any other jobs. He answered with a definte yes, because i work hard and do my job well. I asked hm about the coworker, he said, "Well, if her job was to support a wall, then i would highly reccomend her."

I'm glad I have my boring job at Michaels as well because i do the best i can, and I agree with you, people shouldn't whine or bitch. its a job, you have one, you're lucky
*hugs*
When I got my BA in Physics (yes... that and Mathematics are my main areas of study) I sent out over 200 and got... three call backs and two interviews.
Yet my work is still only part-time, and I actually work three of them. I've learned now what my grandparents went through during the Great Depression: Take what ever comes along and don't look that gift horse in the mouth.
Right now... I'm considering applying for a wine tasting room staff on the weekends.
