No Parking and Mad Lines

Labor Day Sale at my work , and wouldnt ya know it, my giveashit just ran out.
I dont know what it is about people making an effort to be assholes EXCLUSIVELY on holidays. Who knows, maybe they didnt have their breakfast. Maybe their whiny ass privileged little shits decided to give their cellphone a bath this morning in oatmeal. OR MAYBE THEY ARE JUST ON THE RAG. I could imagine a plethera of ideas as to why their need to displace such frustration and anger seems so excuseable, but the fact remains that ITS NOT.
I know that my company decides to pay me overtime on the holidays, just to take this type of special abuse, and really I shouldnt be mad when in reality, they are just wasting their time (and their time is valuable), while I bank on their incompetence and miscommunications, but there is a breaking point in every job when you finally reach an impasse. When I no longer feel I can perform to the best of my capabilities because there is nothing I can do to make these people happy, then the job becomes unfufilling. I dont just work for a paycheck, I work because I ENJOY the place that I work. I have started skimming the area for internships, hopefully in something pertanent to my degree (which I've been doing for awhile now with diminishing results), but I feel as if I've finally been given a sign that is is indeed, time to move on.
The road seems uncertain and filled with insecurities with my abilities and financial stability, but I've always known that trials and tribulations are part of the course in life, I guess they just never felt so tangible and real until this morning. I wouldnt say this was a major life changing event, but it really grounded me and made me think of what I want to do with my future.
The next few weeks are gonna be brutal, but i feel so much change in a good way can take place. Wish me the best of luck.
