That awkward moment when you’ve been working at a store for almost a year now and yet when you go into work, you know nobody there. Not even the manager.
So many newbies. And a new MIT! This is too much to handle all at once. o_o
That awkward moment when the new MIT tries to recruit you…
“Umm… yeah. I already work here…”
“Really? Which store?”
“… This store…”
…But she’s not super-duper responsible like your store manager. GAH! Stop teasing me by putting the partial schedule up. I want to know when I work next week, goddammit.
If my SM was making the schedule, I’d have already known when I’d be working. :c
“I feel as if I’m trapped— with nowhere to go,” she said, with her eyes looking empty. ”I have an idea of what I want. And I want it more than anything in this world,” her voice slightly trembling. “But it’s difficult. I feel like I won’t be able to reach it— to reach what I want.”
“And if you could have it, when would you want it?” he quietly said.
“Now. I just want it now,” she said without hesitation. A feeling of uneasiness surrounded her, because she thought her life should be exactly where she wanted it. She didn’t understand, because she didn’t have it.
He thought for a minute. “But you see. If we want something, it doesn’t appear from thin air. Sometimes, we have to work for it. Other times, it’s given to us. And most of the time, we’ll never get what we truly want.”
She looked at him, not knowing what to say.
“You say you want it now. Whether you want it now, in the next few days, or next week— you just can’t put time or a date to these kind of things. You watching the clock is only having you suffocate. Don’t concern yourself about the number of hours or days that you should have something that you want. Doing that will only prevent you from getting anything.”
