Why is it that being productive feels pretty pointless when you know no one is gonna notice all you did? It kinda crushes morale, you know?

So, Dan got a chance to 'audition' at that store he was aiming for. As such, we've lost our ASM. They're sending in a temp ASM while Dan's showing what he's got at Parsippany, but Marc claims that when it's cemented that Dan's the manager there, I'll be promoted to ASM.

Honestly, this news came a day after I was thinking of walking in and just handing in my keys. I'm getting really sick and tired of being under-appreciated and to make matters worse, this company... I don't know, I think there's something really sleazy about how the person getting promoted/fired/demoted is always the last person to know. Everyone else thoroughly discusses before letting that one important person know.

This happened twice in the last few days - Dan getting the chance to show he's manager material... Marc and the District Manager talked about it for days before letting Dan even know he had gotten the chance. And our LGA, Andrew... I think he still hasn't been told by Marc that he's gonna be demoted for the new kid. Of course, Marc wants to make me ASM (though, I wonder if it's just because he's tired of arguing with Dan all the time), and the new kid SGA and just leave Andrew as LGA. But... Of course, none of this has been told to Andrew.

MEH.

Though. It's kind of exciting to think that I'd be getting vacation time finally. And that I would potentially get a pay raise (not likely, though). But, the new kid is kind of getting obnoxious after working with Dan so long (and, of course, the fact that we have fundamentally different views on most everything). And, my schedule would get a LOT worse - it's completely unpredictable as it is NOW, but Dan was the only reliable person in the store. He pulled an iron for me when I had to go home sick. He is the only one who always answers if you need to call someone. Our fighting aside, he was the only person you could trust to back you up if you ran into a problem.

So, it'll suck losing the only reliable person. Of course, at the same time, it'll also cut down on the (direct) criticism.

At least it's not as bad as when I decided to leave Samsung, though I'm pretty sure it's getting there.

Anyway. Spent a few hours on WoW the day before last, but that's been my only free-time this entire week (Dan getting sent to the other store kind of surprised us, and so I had to take on all his shifts).

I finally got the War Bear for killing all the Alliance leaders (lol, sorry Hawk 8D ), and reached revered with Warsong Hold. Just gotta get exalted, I think, then I can start working on making the motorcycle. Also, out of a 40 member raid, I ranked 15th in... usefulness, I suppose. It was pretty exciting. I'm not powerful at all, but that made me feel pretty important... In the same night, I got great upgrades for my belt and legs in my ret spec. Now I just have to work on my heal spec.

I hate opening. Opened today. And will open tomorrow. And OPEN ON SATURDAY TOO. AUGH I HATE YOU MORNING SHIFTS.

Yay War bear!

Honestly, unless you intend on buying lots of games (thus getting the discount), I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you have an evaluation coming up. Good luck!!
