GameStop

I now have officially 2 jobs and although I am really thankful for them but I am also still very stressed and not on my feet yet. I really hate being even thought of as a 'dependa' because I am not! Its so aggravating and a bit embarrassing to be lodged into that category even though I really didnt have a choice in the matter for a few weeks. Moving here meant I had to quit my old job back in El Paso and then put in a hundred applications here, which is the life of any military wife or husband so I am not complaining. I am simply stating that it is frustrating. Especially, when you are looking for work in a specific field like oral surgery and there happens to only be so many dental offices with that specialty. 

Well, back to the original topic at hand. My second job is actually one of my old jobs. I am working back as gamestop and although it really sucks because I spent all this money on a new degree and I absolutely love dentistry, I am also kind of happy and excited about it. Its a job that I dont have to really train in because I know most everything, its super easy, and far less stressful. 

So some funny stuff that has happened so far. Before, I was an ASM for the store I was working at in Florida and in order for me to be hired on here and taking over for an ASM that is leaving I had to be hired on as a SGA which is a major step down but they all know my experience so I am not treated like an SGA and I do far more than an SGA. However, one ASM that I have worked with is seriously butt hurt about how much I make (he shouldnt have seen that information but got CC'd on my hiring docs somehow) and has made it a point to try and make me feel like a regular GA not even an SGA. He even tried to explain to me how to alphabetize the games (like I didnt know that it goes A-Z). Apparently, he thinks that I was hired to take his job from him. Which I wasnt. I am replacing someone else entirely. Thursday he was a major prick, friday I worked with the main manager and actually walked in on him being chewed out because he demanded his promotion, and today he was in a bad mood when I first walked in but was eventually cool cause I never let it bother me. Instead I did my job, kicked ass, and went above and beyond like I always do with everything. 

I am a very outgoing and hardworking person. I also dont believe in working as if you only need to follow the "not my job/not in my job description" moto. If I see something that needs to be done, I do it. Regardless of if its meant to be someone elses problem who is below or above my title. If I can do it, Ill do it. Period. Thats the only way to make sure things get done and in the long run it helps out how my day goes/how my job is done in the long run. 

When I got home today my amazing husband had dinner made and the munchkin swimming in the pool in the back yard that he set up for me. hahahaha, he said he almost passed out blowing up the damn thing because the pump broke. There is nothing more relaxing and blissful than coming home to a happy home. It took us 10 years to get here and him and I are still on a constant battle to make things work but we are so blessed in the fact that we love each other so much and we both try, and that when things do work they work amazingly. I love him so much and literally hate myself for the time we ever spent apart due to my pride or his and both of our stupidity. But that is also what was needed so that we could learn to love each other and appreciate each other how we are suppose to and to the absolute fullest. He is still getting use to being a step dad but he is doing a great job of it. I know that no one is ever a perfect parent and we are never really prepared for being parents, but he has stepped up to the plate and again is at least trying. To which, makes my munchkin a happy little camper. She loves her step dad and I know she is happy which is all that truly matters.
