#my one and only problem at my new job is my vision#i have cataracts which make it hard to read anything that's further than a foot in front of my face#(i work in a fast food restaurant)#and we have handy guides placed above the prep station so that everyone has instructions#the problem is that the guides are so small#everyone else can read them but i cannot#i absolutely cant and nothing short of putting the guides at my eye level will change that#but because im 20 people tend to forget that i have cataracts#because most young people dont have to deal with fucking cataracts!!!!!!!#most of the people on my shift dont care and dont ask me to make food#they just let me do register and drive thru and whatever because its a lot easier for everyone to stay at stations theyre good at#but sometimes people from other shifts overlap into mine#this woman overlapped with me a bit today#there was someone in line so i called back 'one in line!' because its what we're supposed to do and i needed someone to come make the food#and shesnapped 'you can make it!'#first of all i wasnt talking to you#second of all the last mystery shopper dinged me because i didnt call back so i have to do it anyway#third of all you know i cant see the goddamn guides so you know i cant!!#and my manager and i had been working like that all day. he did shit in the back until i called him and then he'd come help#when she said 'you can make it!' i shouted back 'no i really cant!!'#thankfully my manager told her that we had a system. she still tried to argue with my manager that i could do it tho!#ive been snappy with my coworkers lately but only if they get snappy with me first#everyone on my shift except for me and the store manager called in so it was only the two of us running the entire goddamn store#but we still managed to do almost everything!! i was exhausted and just wanted to go home#when i called back it was like ten minutes after my shift ended so i didnt fucking have to be there but i was trying to help#im done im done im done im done im done#i swear im good at my job. my manager said i have drive and he wants to train me as a manager because he thinks ill be good#my other coworkers have told me im good at the positions i do#hell a manager and i were snapping at each other all theough a rush but afterwards we apologized and she told me i had done well#the problem is not me! i am not a problem! i have a vision problem and a problem with her in particular
