Happy June 1st everyone! I had a semi-interesting day which made me wonder about a few things. I'll get to that in a minute. First, I woke up at a little past noon today which I can do since I'm not currently working. It sounds great but it's really just because my sleep habits are sooo fucked up at this point that I'm lucky if I can sleep by 2am. I know when we work we all wish that we could do nothing. Speaking as someone who's been doing nothing consistently for a year,it's awful. You get stir-crazy,daytime tv sucks and you can only look at Facebook and Reddit for so long. At this point you might be saying "Alissa, why don't you just go back to work?" to which I say don't tell me what to do :) I will say with the utmost sincerity that if I could physically I would be there in a heartbeat. A lot of you probably don't realize this but if I could trade my situation for even just a year of normalcy and going to a normal workplace I would. I don't like this anymore than anyone else who might be in my position. But I digress. The rest of the afternoon was like any other, a quick shower followed by a few looks of disgust for the state of my hair in the mirror and some lunch. At about 3 I headed out with my brother just to be able to get out of the house for a few hours. This brings us to the title for today's blog.
Anyone who knows me in real-life knows that I work retail. A lot of my friends work retail. Basically anyone who works customer service knows that it sucks and we all constantly bitch about it. That's just a given right for people in this line of work. The long and short of my encounter was that I politely asked the cashier to not stuff two larger sized Ghostbusters plushies I found at Wal-Mart into the same small bag as they totally weren't going to fit and would have crushed the packaging. I wasn't rude about it and I said please. Since I know how customers can be I always make sure that I'm super polite to people who are behind the register. The lady had the worst attitude, she started muttering under her breathe and slamming her fingers on the computer screen. At the end she slammed my receipt down on the little counter and barely said anything to me. Aaron(my brother) goes next and decides not to ask for bags and she's all polite and tells him to have a good day. Honestly, what the fuck? Does she just hate bagging items because you might be in the wrong line of work if that's the case. Maybe she'd be happier at the supermarket where they have people for that. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because everyone has bad days, I get it because I've been berated and called a bitch and everything else behind the register too. I guess my point is that if you can't put your displeasure aside for your job then don't do it. Find a way to do something that makes you happy. /rant And now with that off my chest let's talk a little about my medical drama. So as I mentioned I have Crohn's disease. I'm currently not taking anything for it since the meds I'm prescribed called Xeljanz just seem to hate my body. I've been trying to take them since Christmas and I can't get past a week on them without getting an infection or fever of some sort. My doctor is kind of shoving them down my throat though since getting them approved on insurance was a bitch. I get it but if my body says nah then there's nothing I can do. Because of all of this my health is on the down slide right now. The good news is that I'll be seeing my doctor on the 16th. I constantly feel like a walking disaster though so I'm not super hopeful that anything will get resolved. And I think that's an alright place to end for today. Like I mentioned yesterday if you guys have any questions about anything for me leave a comment! At the end of each one of these I'm just going to do a small run down of things I might be watching or reading! Have a great night and I'll "see" you guys tomorrow. Currently watching: The Mindy Project on Hulu Currently reading: Starting The Girl on the Train later tonight! P.S Aaron's fiance says this is me in cartoon form so enjoy. For those of you who don't know this is Chloe from We Bare Bears.
