Borders changed my schedule to all closing shifts except ONE for the next month. They are all either until 10:30 or 11:30. I usually go to bed around ten, and by then I'm exhausted.

I'm really irritated. Last week my car had to get fixed 40 minutes away so they got mad and reduced my hours, and then I said something to them about it and they said they would give me more hours, and now they're all late. I'm not going to say anything because they'll just be rude to me like they always are.

Maybe I should quit and just buy some scratch tickets. HA.

Oh man!! Why are these people you work with so harsh towards you??

I mean, if you complain they'll prob say "well hours are hours...who cares WHEN they are?!"

Bit(hes!!

They are always harsh. I've has to switch shifts a couple times because of doctor's appts and stuff, but I don't know why they are so nasty to me. I'm SO nice to everyone there. Sad

I wish I could just work from home.

I WOULD say, well stop being so nice to them...but that's easier said than done.

Just ignore them and be nice to ONLY the customers. Ya know?

If they aren't going to go out of their way for you...don't go out of your's for them.

I think it'll only get worse as you get bigger and have to go the Dr's more often...

I wish I could just get another job but I don't think anyone will hire me because I'm pregnant. I know they can't legally turn me down because I am, but they could find another excuse. I didn't look pregnant at my interview at Borders, and now there is nothing I could wear to an interview that would cover my bump.
