I can't sleep again. YES... I did try to go to sleep. I was staring at the ceiling for about an hour before I decided to get up.

I finally thought of something worth blogging about...

Why the hell do I want to quit Islands?

WHY CAN'T I WIN THE LOTTERY?!

I find it odd that people don't believe me that I want to quit. After reading this, I'm sure you'll see why I want to leave.

I've been a loyal employee at this company for 3 years now. One would think that after that long, I would have even a little seniority, but I don't. My tables and hours were pretty decent up until managment started screwing me up the ass. My hours and tables were only getting worse and the people who haven't been there half as long as I have, are getting moved up. No, I'm not a bad server. They just don't seem to recognize the great job I do. Not once did I get recognized for going the extra mile. Not once did I get a certificate of recognition for my hard work. Shit, I didn't even get my company gift until AFTER 2 years. Everyone else got theirs after one. Even in social events, I get screwed. I drove for one hour to play in the company softball tournament. Out of the 3 hours that we spent there, I didn't bat once and I was on the field for a collective time of 5 minutes. FUCK THEM.

So why am I going to quit? It's because I don't feel respected nor appreciated. I'm sure the initial shock will totally validate me...but it would score a lot of extra credit points if management bargains with me to get me to stay. Don't get me wrong, I love my co-workers but it's not worth it to me anymore.

For the first time, I felt so angry at work. I've never had any animosity while I did my job.

So do me a favor and DON'T doubt that I'm going to quit. I don't understand why some people thought I was "just saying it." I'm not going to be that restaurant's bitch anymore.

I'm handing in my 2 weeks before the first week of June ends.

Oahu, here I come.
