I think my threatening to quit my job last week sent a massive shock wave up to my boss. Pretty much, for the past few weeks, corporate was going to come in and the managers were up everyone's asses to get stuff done. This included me. I was tasked to do a bunch of BS things like wiping down the top of the vending machine outside and god knows how many other mundane things. The day corporate came in, the store manager was on me immediately, demanding me to sweep outside and do around produce, even to accuse me of NOT doing it. Before noon that day, I snapped. I was so furious that I wrote my two week notice and handed it in. Later on, after corporate left, the assistant store manager pleaded with me to reconsider, telling me things would go back to normal. I told her I'd give it two days and if it didn't, I was done.
Fast-forward to Saturday, which was two days after my threatening to quit. I asked the assistant store manager for my two week notice and tore it up, telling her I reconsidered. The store manager spoke to me as he left and told me he hopes I don't quit, telling me how much they need me there and how good I am. Yeah, more like let's see how long we can treat this loser like shit before he can't take it anymore and use him for all he's worth. Since then, everything's going back to being better. For now at least. Not to mention Friday I found out I got my second raise. Pretty happy about that to be honest.
Also on Friday, I went to see my doctor again, but since they screwed up, I saw another guy instead. I told him about my former meds and their bad effects on me. After about a 15 minute talk, he wrote me a prescription for two pills:
-Sertraline, which is a generic brand Zoloft, which is used to help with depression and anxiety disorders
-RisperiDONE, which is generic brand RisperDAL, used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
I've taken both since last Saturday and they seem to be doing good for me. I seem to be looking on the bright side more and be more optimistic than normal as well. I don't know if it's just me or if the meds are actually working, but whatever the case, please let it stay that way.
In other news, one of the front end monitors gave me $2.00 to buy a scratch off ticket with and to my surprise, I actually broke even. Pretty atypical, considering my luck with lottery tickets is very bad. Speaking of lottery tickets, if I get the money to do so one day, I want to buy a large number of say $1.00 tickets and see if the odds of winning really match what the ticket claims. The $1.00 tickets are around 4.63 : 1 odds. I'm convinced the odds are more like 10 : 1 or worse, but to prove it, I would need to buy the same ticket and play a few hundred tickets, since a sample of a few tickets isn't accurate. Then again, it's probably one big waste of money and I highly doubt I'll ever follow through with such an endeavor. I'd like to keep my money, thanks.
