Day 9

I must be the dumbest person ever; no, I must be borderline retarded. I have an associates and a bachelor’s degree and I have worked at the pizza joint 9 times now and still make a shit ton of mistakes every day. Ringing people up wrong (I’ll remember where one button is and forget another), running out of things to do and not looking busy (I can only sweep a clean floor or wipe a clean counter down so many times), and I have to keep asking everyone q’s on how to prepare things. I am so pissed at myself and then I get pissy with those around me.

The other night THE pizza guy came in and I had already done everything I was supposed to do, so I was standing waiting for the phone to ring. When THE pizza guy left girl coworker-that-no-one-likes informed me he was THE pizza guy and when he comes in I should look busy. THANKS FOR TELLING ME THAT AFTER HE LEFT!!! Seriously, that is what I hated about my last job – the standing around and waiting for work then getting in trouble for waiting for work. I had done everything already even making up shit to do and asking others for shit to do, so fuck me if I’m standing around.

I get pissy with those around me because a) I have never worked in the food industry before so I’m gonna ask fuckin questions (I hate it that I have to keep asking; its just I’ve only done something once before and that was days ago) b) when I ask questions don’t get annoyed with me for doing so and c) if I do something wrong, tell me, so I can fix it or do better in the future. All of those reasons, and I am like the oldest person that works there; except for my Sensei’s husband, Bobba Fett, who got me the job.

So, here I am a 24yr old college graduate who cannot get her shit together and works (struggles to not make mistakes) at a pizza jizzoint.
