Suspended in the workplace.

I kinda don't feel like talking to anyone for some reason. Strangely enough I blame work. I dread going to that place every single day, so, I'm looking for ways to get out and I found this, it's a home based business I'm trying out if I make money on it you'll never see me come back to work, I'll just be gone and no one will know where I went. Now I don't hate work I just hate bullshit, I hate being a busser, I hate shaving every damn day, I hate working 40+ hours a week and having no time to myself, I hate the way things are there just to have enough to barely survive in this world. However, our General Manager there is a really great person though I do like Marvin a lot and how he's been there for as long as he has I'll never know that is one man I would worship if he asked me to. But I kinda miss being a dishwasher, nobody said shit to me, I was workin with my brother and we talked about video games, electronics, and other things all day and I had nobody tell me to quit talking, and I never had to shave most of all! Oh god and the split shifts jesus christ I hate the split shifts anymore, that's what takes up more time than working a straight 8 hours shift because I work a 4 hour shift go home for about an hour or two then I have to come back early cus I know I need to be there early and work another 4 to 5 hour shift, so pretty much it's like working 12 hours straight, I hated it no wonder no one likes split shifts. gah!

So I got suspended from work til Tuesday for being myself, for not being able to come in to work when it's pouring rain outside with thunder and lightning and I don't have a car and no one was at home to take me to work and I call in saying I'm not gonna be able to make it to work unless they want me to come in soaking wet from walking to work, so I got my second strike for it. I don't really care honestly I'm glad I have time off to finally think to myself and what I'm doing with my life and where I'm going instead of worring about "Can I get up in the morning to get to work, am I shaved, and are my clothes clean? Fuck!! I don't care. i really really don't. Don't get me wrong I don't wear dirty clothes, i do shave every once in a while when I didn't have to worry about it but in the last 7 months I've been working in the Tavern and had to worry about that constantly I hate it, I god damn hate it!!! To the point to where I didn't care anymore. I honestly didn't care about what anyone thought of me, I walked out of the main dining room office and everyone asked "What happened!?" I didn't say shit I just kept walking with my head held high. I swear the death of me is gonna be from bullshit not smoking, not cancer, not a freak accident from bullshit. Okay I'm over exaggrating there but I swear I feel as if something needed to change and finally I had the balls to change it and it was the best thing for me. I finally feel happy, it's such a relief knowing I feel happy it's because I finally feel free for a short time of being suspended. :D

When I watch the movie Office Space I can totally relate to Peter (Ron Livingston) when he says, "I did nothing. I did nothing and it was everything I thought it could be." I love that quote! :) That's how I feel.

YOU'RE SUCH A DIVA KEVIN. IT'S TOO FUNNY. BUT I TOTALLY FEEL YOUR PASSION IN THIS. I KNOW IT'S OVERBEARING BUT IN THE END IT IS WHAT IT IS. EITHER YOU DEAL WITH IT OR YOU DON'T. IF YOU DON'T YOU MOVE ON AND FIND SOMETHING MORE...WHICH YOU HAVE. BE HAPPY!

The most important thing is that you find what makes you happy Kevin. I don't think Tavern truly makes anyone happy, so good for you for recognizing it early haha

Well see that's the thing I loved being in the Tavern when I first started, everyone was happy not much drama was going on, John was captain and you were a badass captain too John might I add, there were three bussers, shaving wasn't that big of an issue, there was a lot more waitors I still miss Ruth, she was awesome, being in there out of all the waitors that came and went so fast that were fired or quit, things were better in the Tavern, then the new year came and everything changed instantly for the worse. And for me I started to hate it and thus I am where I am now, and I don't know I just didn't like being a busser after all of that in the Tavern anymore.

So... that's my story on it.

Mystic, If I'm the same position I'm in now and I can't find a better career or life in the next year that's honestly what I probably will end doing. I should do it now regardless honestly though.
