Pointless

I believe I have said this before, but I must say it again: it's pointless to complain to people, because they can't do anything about it.

Yesterday when I got to work I must've looked like shit. Because our SM pulled me aside and inquired as to how I am doing, is anything wrong, what's stressing me out, etc., etc.. I had to repeat several times, that nothing is wrong, the store is ok, I'm just tired. And she finally let me go.

Seriously, I am not very happy there right now. The past Saturday, Remembrance Day, I was invited to this wedding. When I got the invitation, it was already too late to write it in the Request day-off book. On the schedule I am to close that night. Ok, I asked SM if I could switch my close for her open. She said ok. Two days later I was talking to a fellow SS, and she was saying how she wanted to work on Remembrance Day for the double pay. I said, sure, if you want to just take my shift that'd be great, I don't even have to work at all. She said yes, so I left a note with the peach. A week later when I went to confirm with SM she said no, we can't let the lovely SS take the shift, because that would be overtime (something to do with holiday pay and labour and hours). I started to panic. Called around, nothing. No one would take my shift. No one would switch with me. I went and told my mom (I was supposed to go to this wedding with a co-worker of hers). They flipped out, tried to scramble around for someone to take my place. All these extra drama.

And yesterday the peach asked me to switch my today's mid for close. I said yes. I feel like shit, because not only I am not able to pick my mom up from work at 9pm in this god-awful weather, I'm not able to drive my sister to the airport tonight, either (though I didn't know about that after the switch). Stupidest thing is, I have to be at the store at 7:30am after my close at 11:30pm. This is such bullshit. I can't take this anymore.

And they asked me what's wrong. Everything is wrong. I should've just said no. Next time anyone asks, I'll say no. Seriously, I said yes to everyone if they wanted to switch or leave early, but I never had those requests. I am really pissed off at everyone of the management team right now, but I have to learn better than to show it. To spare me of the stupid conversation: Are you ok.

This is all so pointless. Ranting makes better, complaining to a real person won't. What's the point of sympathy?
