No title.

I can’t really think of a good title.

I learned last week that my insurance company is dropping me. On my new policy I can only have one car, and it costs about three times as much. Needless to say, my parents aren’t happy. The night before me, I had gotten my eyebrow pierced. Needless to say, my parents weren’t happy about that one, either. So I got several good talks about how I was such a disappointment, failure, so on and so forth. It was reassuring to hear it all, to be honest. At least I don’t have to guess anymore.

When I returned to work with that doctor’s note, they decided that a doctor’s note was unacceptable. Here’s a list of ways Wal-Mart has fucked me over since then:

1. “Verbal coaching” for having a doctor’s note

2. Never taught me how to request off, so when I finally taught myself it was too late to get the days off.

3. Still have me on schedule as day shift, so I’m working third shift without getting the extra dollar. This is also pissing off the day shift managers because they don’t know what’s going on.

4. Won’t give me an answer on which shifts to work

I really hate this job. I kind of wish they would just fire me to get it over with, instead of giving me the run-around like this. There is absolutely NO organization in the company. None of the managers can agree on anything, nor can they stop fighting with each other. I’m working third shfit but they never switched me off days in the system, so I’m not getting the extra dollar and day shift managers are getting pissed. I was supposed to work at noon today, but I never heard from the company about whether or not I was supposed to work day or third shift today. I might just not go in until I figure it out.

My depression has been really bad these last two days. Friday I couldn’t even get myself to get out of bed until mid-afternoon. When I did I felt drowzy and unmotivated. I slept good, better than I usually do. Then yesterday I didn’t even wake up until 3:00pm. That’s bad for me, considering I’m one to wake up by 10am, even over the summer. Today I was up earlier, but it’s been the same scenario.
