Trying... but Failing

Today I have been trying really hard to have a good day. I'm trying to be upbeat and positive. Trying to keep a smile on my face. Trying. But Failing.

Remember how I have that coworker who is doing naughty things on the computer? Yeah well, he hasn't stopped, which makes me absolutely dread coming to work after him. I have zero respect for him. Well today on the way to work I ran into some construction traffic which was making me run a tad late. A tad meaning that I was supposed to be to work at 7 and walked into the office at 7:03. Well, when I got here, that coworker was nowhere in sight. Because I was a total of three minutes late, he up and left without waiting for me. The problem with that is, is that we have been assigned to "communicate with the next shift about anything that is going on in the hotel". I also have to count the cash drawer and verify it with the previous shift. So him leaving without talking to me is a big deal. Well, I called him on his cell phone to make sure that everything was alright and to see where he went to. We had a heated conversation, on his part, and then he freaking hung up on me. Wow. That was a mature conversation. I guess he forgot to put on his adult pants today.

After that I was trying to shake if off and forget about the whole ordeal, when a message from his lover popped up onto my computer asking me who I was and if I was in love with her boyfriend. I didn't even give the whore the satisfaction by responding, but still, none of these things is how I wanted to start my day.

And then comes the porn. I saw some stuff in the recycle bin on the computer desktop and went to delete it and BAM! A whole bunch of naked! So I then have to have the uncomfortable task of reporting it to my manager. Boy is that a fun conversation to have!

And last but not least, as if I am not discouraged about my coworkers already, I found out from one of the housekeepers that one of my other coworkers (not the creeper but a different guy) has been talking crap about me behind my back and complains about me to her all of the time. He says that I am dumb and always mess everything up and he wishes that he didn't have to work with me. What a great boost to my ego right? The thing that irritates me about this in particular is that I generally liked working with this coworker. He kept to himself, was clean, and seemed nice enough. But he hardly ever spoke to me. I figured it was because he was shy or just quiet but maybe it was because he didn't like me. On the other hand, maybe what the housekeeper said wasn't even true she is just creating needless drama. Either way, I was hurt by it. And am now feeling suspicious of everyone.

So as of right now, I am sitting at the desk, wondering why in the hell I am working with these people, for the amount of pay that I get? If I have to deal with all of this drama, I think I deserve to be paid more for it.  I honestly hate the tension that has snuck into the workplace. It makes me cranky. I really honestly sincerely woke up this morning thinking to myself that this was going to be a good day. I am so sick of my coworkers. They are making this job, which is a pretty good job work wise, virtually unbearable. I hate hating my job. I hate waking up in the mornings and dreading coming to work. I hate sitting at work anticipating my days off.
It's days like this that make me regret dropping out of college. I mean, does this happen everywhere? Are there people out there that actually love what they do? Who look forward to going to work? Who are friends with their coworkers? Cause if so, then I need a job like that!
