Hmm
So...
Work is not going so great. I love it and I'm not going to get fired or anything like that, but it's rough. One of the girls warned me that this girl (and another one who eventually got fired) were pretty rotten to newcomers. She wasn't saying it to make me hate them -- she wanted me to know that it wasn't just me, it was everyone. She said they eventually got over it and started to be nice to you, and that it had taken a couple weeks, but in her case, they ended up being nice to her.
It's been 2 months now. The one girl got fired. The other is meaner than ever. She whined to our boss about me last week. I had more stuff on her than she did on me, and the only reason I went to talk to the boss was because I KNEW she was going to whine and I wanted the boss to hear the truth.
Yesterday, the girl who had warned me about her told me that she had whined to her about my talking to the boss. Seriously.... If she gets to talk to the boss, then I should get to also. That's only fair.
I had to work with her today and I had taken an order for a cake and the person who ordered didn't care what the decoration was. They said they wanted either a teddy bear or a pony. When she looked at the order, she got all mad and told me that they had to say SPECIFICALLY what they wanted and I said, "They didn't care and they made it very clear that they didn't care." She said, "They have to say what they want. And don't go telling on me for telling you that." All I have to say to that is "Good grief."
She proceeded to ignore me for the rest of the day, as did everyone else. All three of them went on break at the same time and didn't tell me they were going and I was left to help the customers on my own. That was so very kind and thoughtful....
If I had had to stay until 5, I think I would have gone nuts. But thankfully, the other girl I worked with today isn't like them. I think she ignored me because she didn't want Mean Girl to get mad at her. When Mean Girl wasn't around, she talked to me. I asked her if she thought I could leave early and she said she would ask Mean Girl on my behalf. That was nice. I got to go home at 3 instead of 5.
It makes me sad. I am not doing anything wrong. I'm not trying to make this girl mad at me. I don't understand why she's so mean. I think it might be because she wants to be a supervisor and she knows that people like me are way more likely to get those positions than people like her. I think she sees me as a threat and she needs to make me quit or get fired so that she is more likely to get that position. What she doesn't know is that I don't even want to be a supervisor. If I was offered the position, I'd probably take it, but I'm not going to force my way into it. And if she wants to be a supervisor, she has a LOT of work to do on her personality first. If I was her boss, she'd be the absolute last person I'd pick, simply because if she can't be nice to people when she's just like the rest of the crowd, then she probably wouldn't be much better if she was higher up.
When she told me that I couldn't "Give out a cone that looks like THAT" I almost said, "How would you like to WEAR this cone?" But I refrained. She probably would have made a cherry or blue raspberry slushy and thrown it at me.
