In the wound...

Today was a very hard and long day. I needed sleep badly last night and of course because I needed it I didn't get any. So then I started off my day babysitting one of my favoritest kids, Wesley. We had fun playing and eating lunch then I dropped him off at daycare.
Then things went from okay to horrible. I went into work to find out that we had 101 cases today! So I got started but even though I worked hard it felt like nothing was being accomplished. And even after 8 hours of working on it I only got one jumbo cart done. But I would have rather not slept at all last night and worked at Payless all day instead of working with, lets call her, X.
X is horrible, she is one of the reasons why I hate working for Payless so much now. All she did today was defy me and interupt my boss's meeting to check with him before she did anything. Even when all I did was ask her to flip the store she replied with "well I don't want to do anything unless Patrick tells me to so I'm gunna go check with him." I just couldn't believe my ears, I worked so hard at that job to get no respect back, or to be appreciated for my knowledge. She has only been working there for 2 months, how does she think that I don't know what I am doing and she does!
I think what was worst though is that when I told one of my other associates that she should go help clean the cart X was working on she did right away without question. But then when she started X got mad and told her that she should find something else to do because she was working on it. When the other associate replied that Nikki had told her to work on that so she could focus on the customers X replies with well Nikki isn't in charge, I'm gunna go talk to Patrick about this.
I know that I should let things slide by and not bother me but it is so hard when its all negative. I am so glad that I am no longer responsible for anything at that store and that I only have 4 hours of working left.
Today just felt like lemon juice poured on a papercut. I am so glad that it is over and that I can start fresh tomorrow. Hopefully my wound will heal overnight and I can go back to eating my lemons pain free.
