I'm starting to hate my job

Let's go way back to when I started. My first day was extremely boring and it was kinda hard on my feet because I wasn't used to standing for 8 hours. I immediately thought of quitting because it was sooooo boring. But it only took me a week to get used to everything and so I was alright with my position(which was way easier then my last job). Now recently my indifferent feelings towards work have changed. Why? Mostly because of the new lame ass manager and his analicity(coining this term btw) towards HBC credit card acquisitions("instant credits") and credit blend(meaning the % of total transactions that are paid for with the HBC credit card).

Now because of this guy my manager is constantly on my ass about my credit blend and my instant credits. She even wants me to go to like some lame instant credit training meeting now. It's so stupid that they expect me to get a certain amount a week or whatever just because person x did. Most of the "person x's" are complete douchebags who use underhanded tactics like making up bullshit about the card or going into other departments looking for customers with a ton of merchandise(because the customer can get 10% off all that stuff by applying). Now because I'm such a *cough*nice and honest*cough* guy I refuse to do that kind of shit. If a customer says no I leave it at that.

It's really not my fault that I'm not up to "expectations". I barely get any traffic right now and the few customers I do get just plain don't want to use our crappy credit card(I can't blame them because personally, I rather use my Visa too).

Ah well I guess it's normal to hate your job eventually, just too bad it happened so soon. It was like 10 months into my last job before I started to hate it.

At least the rest of my week was good. I finally got my G1 after putting it off for like 2 years. Grats to Duy and PA for getting it too <3(we should "borrow" Leo's car and start learning to actually drive now). Oh and yeah also got to see Iron Man, which was awesome. Too bad we didn't stay for the hidden scene after the credits. Iron Man put me in the mood for superhero movies. I can't wait to see The Dark Knight when it comes out now.
