Strike One, Denny's

As most (okay, all) jobs go, there will be moments of bullshit kicking around to liven up some action within any fine establishment.  While I wish this story involved dumbass customers or funny stories of my co-workers, this one really hits a nerve with me.  While working Black Friday morning, I was asked how my Thanksgiving was by Leo, an elderly cook who usually works mornings.  When I stated that I spent Thanksgiving on Wednesday with my father, he replied that he knew all about it and that he heard it from Kirk, one of my managers.  This act of betrayal and invasion really hit me hard, and I decided that if two other incidents like that occur, I'm finding another job.  Instead of keeping it inside, I actually talked to the General Manager, Kristen, about the incident and how it didn't sit well with me.  For my manager to tell another cook about my personal business really, really got to me, and I was not going to let that slide.  It's like a total disrespect towards my privacy and I feel he exceeded a boundary of sorts.  If it was to another manager then that's fine, they have a right to know about my current situation, but to another worker who has no right to k now about my personal life is just wrong.

Also I received a wonderful letter in the main today from my bank, informing me that I've overdrawn about $56 from my account, and that I'm going to be charged.  Blah, blah, blah...  The thing that gets me is I swore I had about $400 left in my account the last time I checked.  Another thing is that with a student checking account, I shouldn't be charged for using THEIR OWN ATM, but alas I've been charged about $1 every single time I use their fucking machines.  So once all the bounced transactions have been sorted through, I plan on switching banks to another place where they wont charge me.  So in short it's their own damn faults that I overdrew because of their charges, not the other way around.

Just another thing to be angsty about, but I glad I have friends like [info]castomel who just know how to make things seem better.
