Yeah, I am employed at the moment.
College bookstore manager. Yeah, retail sucks, but working as a college bookstore manager can be unique brand of hell. It isn't customer service that is the problem, I enjoy that part of my job. It's dealing with a ridiculous number of accounts and some of the people on campus. Having hundreds of thousands of dollars outstanding, that takes an act of God to collect on, can wear anyone down. Quite frankly, I have had unhealthy thoughts and that is when I knew it was time to get away as soon as reasonably possible.
This job drains me and I don't know how much more I can stand. I litteraly can feel the stress on me. We have had so many changes in the last year that I really haven't been able to keep up with them. Even managers with way more experience than me have said the same thing. A job isn't worth having if it consuming almost every waking moment you have. I'm hoping I can find another job next month or so and hold on here until May. It's just so damn hard to find a job here.
