Okay, so this post is rather random, but it's driving me crazy. So today as I'm getting ready to leave work my boss decides to remind me that I only got four credit card applications last year, and that if I want to get more hours at work then I need to step up my game and get more iCAPS(instant credit applications) or else my hours are going to go down like crazy.
All right. Let's explain a couple things.
I work for a clothing retailer. The store is divided up into different sections, and every section has a set of registers that they are responsible. That is, all of them do, except for mine. Yep. That's right folks. I am somehow supposed to clean the floor, clean three fitting rooms, help customers, and walk to the other side of the store practically and ring so that I can get credit apps from strangers, and then somehow do all this when there are maybe two or three of us to do my entire section of the store. Okay. I understand where my job is coming from. I really do. That is part of my job, and I'm not doing it as well as they want me too. But come on guys! I'm trying really hard here, and I do have some added obstacles in my way. Not to mention, doesn't good customer service count in here somewhere? No...? Okay... :/
I guess the main reason that it bothers me is that I'm the breadwinner in this relationship. Cameron makes enough to cover his expenses, and there's not a whole lot that's left over, which means that saving for the wedding and anything else that we want to do is mostly up to me. And I was okay with that for awhile, but now this is becoming a problem, because now I can't provide for myself let alone provide for someone else. It really isn't easy being the breadwinner, and it definitely just got a whole lot harder. Here's to hoping that things get better one way or another sometime soon.
