Hell No, Redux

Well, the time-honored, obvious thing happened. I quit my PT job.

It went well enough for about 7 months. Then the manager came over and gave me crap -again – about something minor – not being familiar enough with their tablets. Their tablets are Android. And all my devices are Apple, so no it wasn’t “obvious” to me how to scan a barcode. She treated me like I was an idiot – and that really sets me off.

So I went home, thought about the four times she’s done that (different subjects), and then called and told the assistant manager I wasn’t coming back.

I contacted another asst. manager whom I’m friends with, and she said the manager does that to her all the time. The asst. manager said this manager left her a two-page letter about everything she was doing “wrong” right before the assistant left for 3 months’ medical leave.

It was the idiot thing that really set me off. Everyone who really knows me already knows I’m not too stupid, as in highest SAT score in my class.

I can’t help it, that’s a great big red button with me. So I did something that wasn’t too smart, and am stuck looking for another PT job while still hunting for a FT job. Just brilliant.
