I'm suppose to work today nine to three and again I feel like I don't want to go. I hate this job so much! I work at McDonald's and it sucks because I'm not trained to do anything else besides the lobby and my managers refuse to train me until I master the lobby not to mention now that Xmas is coming soon and this paycheck I got on Friday was the lase one before Xmas, my hours have dropped back to Saturdays so that means I am back to getting ninety six dollar paychecks.
There is a McDonald's closer to my house that is hiring and I can transfer over there but I had second thoughts once I saw their manager who is an old lady and I don't really want to work for old people but it can't be as bad as where I am at now. I'm pretty much a regular over there anyways and there is this girl at the drive thru who always gives me discounts whenever she is working.
I feel like now I might have a good chance of being properly trained over there but I feel like they probably won't take me depending on what my managers tell her. I did play hooky last week after all,
I don't know I feel like playing hooky again because I just really hate working there. I want to go in and ask my manager about a transfer but at the same time I want to walk in there and say I quit!
It's only six damn hours I am working today. I don't know why I can't just suck it up and deal with it. I always have these kind of thoughts on Fridays and Saturdays before I go to work. Most of the time I suck it up and go and other times once the idea of hooky comes to mind and I calculate what my paycheck is going to be without me working on a day then I make my choice.
Ugh! Jobs shouldn't make you feel this way. I want to believe my managers want to get rid of me so quick that they will say anything for that other McDonald's to take me, but then again maybe they will be honest and then they won't take me and I'll end up being stuck here until they just decide to fire me. One of my managers already said that she doesn't even think I deserve working on Saturdays! Kind of a good thing she isn't the scheduling manager but she did hire me.
I just want to quiet so badly even though I don't have another job lined up, I just don't care right now....well I kind of do. I need gas and money for my phone bill. And that's all that ninety six bucks covers......well that and gas.
Any advice would be helpful. That's probably why I can't sleep since I am thinking so much. I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to do in the next few hours.
No seriously that is NOT sarcasm. I am happy that no one replied because I really was being overly dramatic about going to work a measly six hours. I went and got the day over with and asked my manager for a transfer but he left before he told me anything so I;m going up there tomorrow to see if he called the one closer to my house. Honestly if a job is making me have thoughts like that then I really do need to find a new job. So thanks for not replying. I guess I was just looking for someone to say it was okay to play hooky or slap some sense into me.

Aww, I'm sorry, I totally would have replied if I had been on yesterday. I know what it's like to despise a job so much that you don't wanna go in at all. I couldn't really tell you not to skip out, because I've definitely done that before (although usually I just invent some illness and call in sick... I've never had the guts to just not show up). But at the same time, missing out on hours sucks, especially if you don't get a lot of them anyway, so it's usually better to just say "oh well" and go in and do it. You feel better in the end because you don't spend the whole day feeling guilty for not going.
But yeah, you really should find a different job. I thankfully never had to work at a McDonald's, but I've had friends that worked there and they said it sucked. Don't quit until you have something else lined up, though. Especially if you have bills to pay.

That is so true! I always hate having to call in sick l because the last time I did it, my manager asked "are you that sick?" And I said yes but I am never really convincing and I just don't like the feeling of hearing the phone ring and then they finally picking up while they are busy or whatever and yeah it's just easier to just go. I just don't get why I keep having these thought every Friday and Saturday before work though because once I get in there it isn't as bad as I made it out to be.
I have done a no show no call before but it was on accident because I had overlooked a work day I was suppose to come in but it got settled.
And yeah missing hours do suck because when I do play hooky, I have to be out of the house since my parents don't know about it and I end up walking around department stores wishing I could buy certain items but I can't since I am not working and because even though if I was working I still couldn't buy it so it makes me resent my job more.
And last week when I played hook I felt guilty about it when I got home.
It will take some months to find a job in retail so right now I'm trying to do a transfer at another McDonald's, it can't possibly be as bad as where I am at right now. Still going to apply at retail places though.
Thanks for commenting though smile

Ah, yeah, that feeling of having nothing to do since you skipped work, but not being able to go home because you don't want anyone else to know that you skipped work... it's the worst! You can't even go buy yourself a coffee and a donut or something to make yourself feel better, because you're all like, oh, I shouldn't be spending money today, because I'm not making any money today... it sucks. Usually I just kill time by walking around, or going to the library, or something. Not that I still do that anymore... you know...

Actually if I do have money, I do spend it even playing hooky. If I am broke then I am certainly going to work. sweatdrop
I always get nervous when I go into certain department stores because I don't know if my mom is there by chance or not. But after walking around for a while I normally sit in my car in a department store parking lot and text my friend if she isn't busy. I would hang out with her but she lives three hours away. so i can't kill time with company crying
