dreaded words

tsukikageDamn. I hate having my hard work rewarded with "why don't you take off now". Especially when it's still an hour until the store closes, and at least an hour and a half until the lights are turned off. I have news for you: my goal in this job is not to only have to work from 4 to 7!
No, I'm not really as mad as I sound. It's just rather... disappointing. I don't care so much about getting a raise, but I really care about quickly becoming someone that Amy can rely on. I want to learn how to do everything so that I can be available whenever I'm needed. And of course, just being there isn't enough to become worthwhile, but how can I learn and practice if I'm not given the chance. These 4-6 hour days are driving me crazy.
On my walk home from work, I was praying to Deity (don't know which, yet) to help me learn to be more patient. And honestly, I'm very patient if I know how long I'm waiting for - I just get worried sometimes... I mean... Maybe part of what I'm worried about is that everyone will get used to me working these short days, and totally forget that I'm aiming for more. What if they start assuming I'm looking for 20 hours a week so I have a little bit of spending money rather than a full fourty (or more) hours and responsibilities. What can I do to remind everyone that I'm serious about this.
*sighs*
This entry is really terribly incoherent, or at least I don't feel like I've conveyed my true emotions that well, but maybe you guys will be able to read between the lines. I don't know.
P.S. Thank goodness Amy wasn't here today.

Yeah, work sucks

-Bye for now,
