Random Rant...Jealousy can be a b!iatch!
:rant: So I work part time selling fitness equipment and I'm a pre-med student about to go to medical school. There is this 34 year old guy(overweight and half-bald) who works with me. Working here is what he does for a living making $9/hr plus a small amount of commission. For some reason, he's always an a$$ to me. the manager (who is retired and is only working here b/c he's bored) says that he's just jealous that he's stuck in a dead end job doing nothing with his life! well, that's not my problem, so don't take it out on me! When he has a problem with me, he doesn't even have the b@lls to say it to me to my face -- he sends it through a text message! Okay, by the age of 34, i would expect that you would be able to confront your issues in person -- especially to a girl in her early 20s! it's not my fault that i'm only a part timer and that I get asked to go hire and train managers and new employees at other stores in different states - that i get a fully all expenses paid trip as well just to go train these people! Well, i've been really tired of this crap and the guy has been ste****g my sales when I'm not working so I told my manager it's either him or me! so...the guy ended up getting written up for low sales per hour - hahah! :1seeyah: Therefore, his weekly hours were reduced and I got to get his extra hours - just because of that I've sold $7000 in the 2 days that he would have originally worked! :bbiwin:
So this guy decides that he's going to put his 2 week notice in and yesterday he calls and says he has "food poisoning" :aajack: and can't work, so of course I have to come in! Well, that doesn't bother me cause I called him today and told him that I was going to be an hour late cause of school...but we were supposed to overlap for an hour anyways so it's not like i was making him leave late. Well, he text messages me with this message (remember, he's 34!!!!!):
"i'm scheduled 'til 5 anyways so it doesn't matter. That way I can get an extra hour and not be around you. So it all works out. The (someone you wanted let go) put his 2 week notice. So good luck in your pitiful, self centered existence. The sun doesn't revolve around just you!"
Haha - i just thought it was so funny. I wanted to respond SO badly, but I wasn't going to give into his immaturity. It's just hilarious that I get a long with everyone and he hates it and that I'm younger than him and I do better at a job (that's just to help out with school) than he could ever do -- that he will do for the rest of his life!
I'm not knocking down sales as a profession or anything like that, but you should do something that you're good at and that you enjoy. If you can't, and someone else does it better than you, get over it and move on!
