I was just starting my first day at HiWay, happy as can be. I went in with major confidence, no nervousness, no fear. I walked in the door, expecting a nice greeting. After all, they were going to be short handed after some of the kids left for college. However, when I saw one of the other workers, he chuckled and said “Look, the f***ing new guy.”
Wow, that surely made me feel great. Now that I had been fortuitously alienated from the group in less than that of a minute, I could tell I was just going to have a grand old time with these people. I felt so great about myself I thought about quitting right on the spot. If I was going to have invariable amounts of personal attacks coming my way I was not going to be working their for long.
So, after that moshpit of discord was done enthralling my mind, I simply responded with the nicest “Oh, hello! How are you?” to which the guy just simply chuckled and walked into the giant fridge. I walked into the side room, the people in there didn’t really seem to notice me all that much. I walked up to the manager, who I’m related to (Probably the only reason I got hired there) and asked “So, what am I doing?” Do you know what she said? I tell you alright.
“I don’t know, the boss isn’t here today.”
“You have got to be kidding me?” I thought to myself. I hadn’t been employed for more than a ten minute interval and they already have no idea what to do with me. I felt like a worthless piece of garbage more than ever. It was like they were giving me a empty plate and saying “Eat” while they hid all the food from me.
Nonetheless, I will say that if it were not for this fantastic experience I would not have been prepared for what was yet to come in my so far fabulous senior year (By the way, as my sarcasm been obvious enough for you?) full of hypocrites, liars, cheaters, fools, and the always amazing biased pieces of monkey trash. Now when I get bullied, I think to myself “Look, another bland brick in the wall.” Plus, most of the idiots at work either left or got fired, so that is probably the most positive thing on this paper.
All in all, things could be worse, my grandmother could have cancer and my grandfather could have a stroke… oh… that’s right.
