I'll try to explain the situation to the best I can.

Basically, I had a horrible day at work. I was constantly being scolded on how to do things correctly (like the past 4 weeks), on how to "wash a window".

Is it that fucking hard, is there some secret Feudal Technique that I need to get down? I spray the windows down, and wash them with a rag. Apparently it has to be done exactly like something else that I am not doing.

Better yet, I was just so very lucky that day; a CSA (Customer Service Adviser, they're basically as high up as a Manager) for the State just so happened to toddle his little ass through the store. The next thing I know, after he left my friend told me "Frank said you were doing the windows incorrectly" ...

I was just blown away.

After that and with all these little tiny things that have built up over the week from my job I just got so pissed off I can't even explain it, I was about to become the very entity of the Apochlypse.

That day when I got off work I just got home and went straight to the shower, stood there, then went to bed and just laid there. I don't know what happened but something just made me tick that day, the rest of the day I did nothing, I just sat there starring blank into the ceiling and was just infuriated.

It's a good thing I didn't post about this that day because I had a much different view on the matter at the time. I've gotten over it, but that day was horrible. Being the kind of guy I am I don't let things go so easily, when they can just be little things.

So, my question is, do I need to expect this? These kinds of days where you come home so pissed off you don't want to do anything the rest of the entire freaking day?

Now I even want a new job, I've given this one a month and it's still not changing to be "better". I'm not going to quit, but it's something that's going to stick in my mind probably ...

You don't have to reply to this, because I just don't care. I guess I just wanted to get this out. DO NOT come in here and feel sorry for me for anything or whatever, and don't tell me "Welcome to the real world" because I can't count how many times I've heard that fucking retarded saying already. Yes, work is work, and I know that.

Way to much stress. Just wanted to rant I guess.

I am a McDonald's shift manager, and trust me when it comes to stressful and angering jobs, this is one of the highest. You are going to have bad days. Trust me. Every job is like that where your bosses are riding your ass about everything, and days where you just can't seem to do anything right.

I've had days where I've been so close to walking out because I was so stressed and the day was so bad. But it's a good thing to get home and just know that
it is over. You'll have more days like this and I know they suck ass. And as you said, this is a rant and it does help. I find it helpful to take someone into the freezer (at work) and yell and scream about who I'm pissed at. That's just me.

Hope you have some better days ahead....

Today wasn't anything to complain about, but it wasn't anything great.

The -bad thing-, is that I just learned my friend is transferring to a new store location.

So now I'm going to be stuck at this job that I truly don't enjoy a single bit, with people I hardly know. It's been a few weeks and some of them I know, but they're not really people I'd ever hang out with or anything (most of them are older also).

Gah. Oh well.

That's just a nice domino effect of one crappy thing after another happening. You did a good job handling it though, considering you didn't get fired and you didn't lose your temper with anyone. Now just hope that doesn't happen to you again, because it sucks to have a bad day like that.
If you feel like doing nothing for the rest of the day, then more power to you. At least you can relax.
And for the record, I didn't know there was a wrong way to wash a window either..

This has happened to me a lot... Just going blank completely, and only realizing you haven't actually done anything like 3 days later... I think that's what they call depression? You don't have to feel sad to be depressed, but your mind just decides to go somewhere else for a while, it just runs away from a bad situation because maybe you're not used to bad situations, or perhaps you're too used to them and need a change of mind...

And so, you end up trying to do stuff, like work on homework or vacuum, or stuff like that, and you just don't do it, you're pretty much idle, thinking only of all the things you have to do, but you get distracted easily and subconsciously avoid working on these things. Before you know it, you haven't done anything, just opened a bag of chips, watched a little TV, went on the computer briefly, sat back down at the TV, went to sleep, etc...

The remedy is to eat more chocolate, or get some prozac :O

EDIT: Oh yes, and also, lie down if you see you keep getting distracted, try to re-focus!

Damn that is a bad day, it looks like you handled it good though, and you have the right to relax after such a stressful day. Hopefully nothing like that will happen again.

That's probably all it was, depression.
In the last couple of years I've gone through a lot of stuff, my parents almost divorced and for awhile I was living in an apartment with my mom, and a small house with my dad. Before this we had a nice big house, and I hated leaving it. Then they got back together, and finally after a year we moved out of my dads small house into the current house I live in, which is nice. But, I've lived in about 8-10 homes, no exageration. So ... no, I absolutely hate moving. I think that should seriously say how much I hate moving into a new home, we were moving from a small place that was one floor, to a new home that has 3 floors and is much bigger, and yet I still had a bad time that week when we were doing it.

But there's all these other little things that have built up that have made me angry, stressed, and depressed that seemed to come out that day, when I laid there in the bed I just couldn't get my mind focused off of the "bad" things that have happened to me.

So yeah, I guess it was just a sudden strike of depression or something. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, I get pissed off at myself when I lose motivation ...

First off, I'm glad I don't have layouts turned on because apparently some people don't simply check their posts to see if they even function correctly.

Second off, I pose a new situation.

Today, woke up at 6:00 AM and got ready for work, had 2 poptarts.

Work started at 7:00 AM.

Left work at 5:45 PM.

Never had a break.

Over a 10 hour shift, with no break.

Burger King never tasted so fucking good. Then I almost puked because I ate my King Size meal probably in a mere minute.

I seriouly hope this does not happen again. Come this September, I'm dropping this job.
