I have been working at my job for almost two years now and man it has felt like a lot longer. Everyday I get up in the morning, throw on a pair of jeans and an ASU t-shirt. I dig in my dresser to find a pair of socks that will get the job done and then throw on a pair of sneakers. I wear the same thing everyday. I wear ASU clothing more than I wear normal clothes. Sparky has taken over my wardrobe. On my days off, I feel so lost. I have no idea what looks good to wear and what doesn't so I just end up wearing ASU clothes once again.
I go to work and do the same thing and work with the same people, again and again. Day after day, week after week, month after month. I show up. Clock in. I flip on the store lights in the proper way and then walk to the doors to let Casper and his friendly ghost friends in because now-a-days that's all the business we get. Occasionally, we get the corporal customers coming in but its usually those who decide to wait until the last month of the semester to get their book, but by that point we don't have it anymore and then I am the one dealing with their bitching.
I work my butt off day in and day out while many of my co-workers stand in the back room with the manager doing nothing for hours on end. I answer phones, I answer customer questions, I ring customers up and I go and help them find their books all the while two or three of them are sitting in the back doing nothing. Nothing ever changes, and nothing ever will even with the countless times I have come to the point of yelling in frustration.
The times I am helping just Casper, I am forced to stand there and just let my thoughts run through my head. All the reasons why I cannot stand that place as well as how boring it is to be the only one actually doing the job I was hired to do. I guess that is life, and it will never change.
