I'm Sorry!

I'm really sorry for the impromptu break. I always intended to come back and type up a quick post, but when I finally got around to it, I never seemed to have anything to say. Nothing to fill up a whole post, at least. I think a month away from has been good. It's allowed me time to build up for an update.

Although, not much has happened in this time. I stepped down as manager at work, since the original manager came back from her leave of absence. It has been... Trying. I was hoping she would let me keep running things, or at least help out for a bit, but she's just the same as before. I had to show her how to do a few things, as she had forgotten, but then she wouldn't let me do them. She took hours to finish simple tasks, and I'm convinced she does it on purpose, because she doesn't want to work in the kiosk. I know I've said it many times before, I just don't know what to do about it. I don't think there is anything to do. If she's just slow or incompetent, there's nothing we can do. If she's deliberately taking her time just so that she could sit in the back on a computer for longer, I can't prove anything.

When I had to show her how to set up for inventory, and how to do it to make it much easier (So that she doesn't have to start work at 3:30 in the morning to do everything), she was ignoring me, checking e-mails and doing everything that I had already done. She re-printed out everything, and tried to show me the new updates. I still don't think she knows what she's doing for inventory, but at least she's doing something. I can finally sit back and relax. If everything goes to shit, I can just shrug and say it wasn't my fault. Everyone already knows that my manager doesn't let me do much to help out, so even if they blame me for not doing anything to fix any problems, well, I can just blame her again, but I have tried. I ran that place for thee and a half months with only a years experience as assistant, and I did it better than she has done with five years of managerial experience.

But school has started again, and I'm going to be working my butt off with four classes; one second year, two third years and one fourth year. I'm nearing the end! And I'm really hoping by the time I finish, I'll have a job I enjoy more. I'm still working on it. A new bookstore opened up in the mall near my house, so I'm going to apply there.

I also just got back from a mini vacation with my boyfriend, so I'm all nice and relaxed. I wish I could relax for a few more days, but I know that would just turn into a few more days, and a few more, until I spend every day sitting in bed or on the sofa watching TV and browsing the internet. No matter how nice that sounds, I guess I should continue with my life. Back to reality!
