Demoted and it feels good

Well the time since my last post I have had some big changes. I was moved to a different store that had even more problems than my old store had. It didn't help that my boss kept using word "craphole" when talking about the store. My first day at the new store I was told that I could be fired because of the numbers my old store ran my last week. I knew that those numbers had been faked, but I have no proof and my boss didn't believe me. After 2 days of not knowing if I would still have a job the next day, I told my boss I was demoting myself. I have hated this position as long as I had had it and couldn't do it anymore.

So two weeks later I was demoted officially, although I was the last to know. I was moved to the store I started at and I am so much happier. I actually have days off. For the last year I worked at least a few hours of everyday. The first week I was in heaven, I only worked the 48 hours I was scheduled instead of the 70 plus hours I have been doing. I have returned to working under my old boss who is very hands off instead of the micromanaging that I have had for so long.

Steph noticed the difference right away. I am not this stressed out beaten down wreak anymore and I feel good about my life again. I am still looking for a new job, but I can at least live with one I have now.

Job, Wedding, and General Bitching

So how long does it take before your blog is considered inactive? I would say that the year plus since I have logged on to my blog would have been more than sufficient. I just reread my last post. Update on the promotion, the job still sucks. Now I have managers who don't listen to me instead of just crew. At the moment I am looking for another job. This week I have worked 40 hours in three days and managed to get one of my managers fired in less than two weeks after getting assigned to my store. Another one of my managers had his mother die suddenly which makes for a bad start to my week. I have finally got to a point where I know that I will never be happy doing this job. Once I realized that I at least feel good about my decision to leave.

On the personal front Steph and I are engaged. I asked her on her birthday at the end of this last year. Getting married this next April and all the planning is underway. I really don't have a lot to do with most of it, by my choice. I care about the when and the where and who will be there, but do I care about the flowers? Heck no. Steph has her binder and appointments and I show up when necessary to give my opinion.

To link to two things together I think that why I hate my job so much right now is because my personal life is really good. When the rest of my life sucked I don't think I realized that my job sucked. It just used to seem all the same so I didn't really notice. Now that I am happy at home I guess the fact that I am never happy at work stands out more now.

After a post with too much reflection on life I have to bring back the geek. This is the summer of comic book movies. Thor was release in May and Green Lantern last week. I have yet to see Green Lantern but the reviews don't look so good. Thor was really goaskod, not wonderful but good. Now I have people asking me questions about comics. I wouldn't mind but they are dumb questions sometimes. I have a Facebook friend who messages me every time I am on to ask me stupid shit. I know way to much about comics, but really I am not your on call source for comic related information.

Well until next time true believers.
