A point reached beyond caring...

And it's blissfully numb. Work is crappy, the people I work with are backstabbers (and old enough to know better: they're not teens), I've been accused of stealing a bottle of water, so I taped the receipt to my shirt for the rest of the day. I was written up because some lady took of with her groceries without paying after I rang them up while I was showing her daughter how to use a credit card machine. What was I supposed to do? Chase her out? What if she'd had mace or a knife? I wasn't trained for that, so I laughed in the manager's face when she wrote me up. At this point, I know it's only temporary, that I don't really care about this job, I just want the money they pay me, and they'll be in a tough spot when I leave because I'm the most reliable employee they have. It's a pity that there's so much "I'm better than you" sentiment floating around. It's contagious and debilitating to their business.

It sounds like we work in the same place.
