work rant...

I expect a certain level of stress while at work. It's hectic work, not life altering or anything mind you, but it does impact your mental condition to some extent. I am sick to death, however; of leaving work stressed out. I hate sitting at home wondering when my manager will sporadically change my schedule to suit his needs or when I'll be fired for telling my boss exactly where to stick his bullshit. I would just like to be able to leave the stress at work, and I don't think that is too much to ask. I like my job, (as much as you can like a shithole part time job) but I hate the high levels of bullshit that I have to deal with on a daily basis. If it isn't a condescending and difficult customer, it's my shift supervisors consistently all over my workspace with constant critiques or it it's a ridiculously difficult customer.

I don't think any of my stresses or stressors are really that unusual. rather I think my feelings are somewhat universal which begs me to ask the question "if everyone I work with feels this way too, why is it that everyone is such a bastard to everyone else?" I think that at best we should all recognize the commonality in our personal strifes at work, but the reality is the worst, where we are all nasty to each other.
