Thanksgiving Down..

Christmas still to go. It's always something in retail. You gotta take the bad with the good, though. I still struggle with that and I've been at my store for 12 years.

I'm still struggling balancing all of my tasks, though. I was actually able to do all of my tasks last Friday, even if not 100%, all my areas got touched. It was a great feeling! But then all weekend, I ended up getting stuck on a register. I can't stand being in that box anymore. The plexiglass surrounding the register does feel like a box and I feel like I'm suffocating. And nobody cares.

I was resolved to tell the store manager that I need to get transferred from my department - especially since my supervisors do not care that the tasks that he has assigned me get done or not - and the few times I saw him, he's been busy. And now he's on vacation.

So I think in the meantime, I am trying to let my department manager know that I cannot be stuck on a register all day, that the tasks need to be done, and if the situation doesn't change or at least get a little better, that I will demand a department change. I just can't keep feeling like crap at work everyday. I have plenty of other emotions that I don't need to feel like crying because of work.
