So I think I was trying to at least work myself up for my shift this morning and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Like by a longshot. Nowhere near as many online orders to pick and pack (over one hundred last year to just 26 this year so I did all of them myself. last year I did over 50). There was only two people waiting outside and honestly there wasn't a lot of people out when I was driving home PLUS there's a big snow storm that's supposed to hit tomorrow. Usually people are out buying supplies but I guess we are collectively just doing it live I guess.
While I'm not complaining I am worried about how corporate is going to react to the low turn out. Because like heaven forbid we lower prices or anything let's just fire the workers and see how many bones we can pick off the skeleton crew before it stops resembling a skeleton. My hours this year were abysmal. I went from being scheduled the maximum amount of hours you could get as a part time employee to barely getting enough to pay my bills and get food. October marked my 6th anniversary working there but I don't even know if I'm going to make it to my 7th. I'm trying not to work myself up over it but I really need a new job. I feel stuck though. My last job hunt ended with my injury which I'm still dealing with worker's comp. Which is another subject I don't want to work myself up over right now.
I'm rationalizing my current emotions as me feeling overwhelmed now that one of my big sources of stress (Thanksgiving and Black Friday) is behind me now and I only have one more to go for the year (Christmas).
