Reaching breaking point
14 years ago
Atleast it feels that way, everytime I 'get back on the horse' life decides to shoot it in the head and laugh as I fall on my ass.
{Really don't like doing these kinds of journals but I have to vent}
Today I got told by my manager (who is around the same age as me and is wonderfull to work with) that the area manager came by the store, looked at our KPI'S (sales percentages), pointed at mine and asked her "Why is she still working here? You have had interviews and selected two good ones."
She then told me not to worry and focus on getting more warrenties and add ons for each sale.
Now that was a kick in the gut, especially considering how long and hard I have worked for the company. If my sales dont improve over christmas, I have been told I will be replaced with one of the new christmas casuals. Had half a mind to quit right there if I didnt need the income. Sure I only work 15hrs a week but its a good job. I love it. I can work with that income. Not forever of course but where I am right now its enough.
Really, really, really hoping things pick up. Fuck, I cried myself to sleep last night. I have NEVER done that. Hate crying..its for babies...
Killing my art mojo, trying to sketch crap when I can. Just not feeling it. Gonna try and deal like I usually do, put on a movie and sloth on the couch. Getting lost in a fantasy world keeps my mind off things atleast for a few hours, I'm happy.
Going to a pop culture convention, Armageddon, on Sunday with a group of friends. One thing to look forward to I guess, they are dressing up. I can buy more comics.
*sigh*

Don't let it get you down, you're so much better than that and more. Have fun at the con, enjoy yourself, and don't let those bastards grind you down.

Just keep working hard, right now that's all you can do. Just keep at it and hope for the best.
As for your manager, I say you either inform a higher up force about his dickheaded attitude, or look to another game store for employment. They arent worth your tears. No one is.
Suppose theres nothing that I can do about it but my very best, not going to let this get to me. Its only half of the problems I'm dealing with. Thankyou so much for caring
