My efficiency at work has greatly improved.
I'm quite proud of myself at the moment.
I also worked some dog-shit shifts which saw me going for 14h without food. Would not recommend.
Why the fuck is "rostered overtime" a thing. If you NEED to roster people for overtime, it means you haven't hired enough people because holy fuck what????
Also I see why people complain about being used and abused. Those times you have to stay back 30min - 1hr, you don't feel like it's important enough to claim overtime, but you legitimately work extra time every day and it's like, by the end of the week you've accumulated several hours which you were not paid for. That's just... so... not cool.
In terms of the private life- I've made so many friends. Work friends are great, the environment is something you can only dream of. I mean I've had some scuffles here and there already, and there's someone who I'm working with that I don't have a lot of respect for... I was trying to learn from this friend of mine, who I said "saw the best in everyone". I used to think she way too naive and that it'd ruin her, but over time I've appreciated how that actually makes you a better person, if you judge people by their best intentions and don't presume the worst about everyone you ever meet. Ofc you need to be realistic and have some grounds in reality, but it's all about the mindset. So I tried. But this guy, this guy, right, he just says some of the most fucked up things and IT PISSES ME OFF. I work with some extremely vulnerable people whose lives are in the shits, and sometimes I know it's near-impossible to sympathise with them. but IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO JUDGE THEM FOR THEIR MORAL CHARACTER. So don't you dare judge them when you've had the privilege of a good education and a family to go home to at night. These people have lost everything, and maybe it's their fault, or maybe this God we cannot see decided to fuck them over but spare you instead.
This guy, I swear, is the ultimate embodiment of Christian hypocrisy- goes to church every Sunday, couldn't find enough decency within to shut his fucking mouth when he can't think of anything more appropriate to say.
Okay, rant over. To be honest I don't think he's a fundamentally bad person, he's just very old and fixed in his ways and I've lost all hope for him. But I am young and ambitious and I want to try save the world whilst I have the energy to, so I guess I look down on people like him, who give off the feeling of death despite being alive.
Anyway, work tomorrow. I better sleep. It's going to be a fantastic year.
