I just need to vent

so can i just vent for a minute? you really don't have to read it and most of it probably won't make sence but i just need to vent. my boss at payless- well i just don't like him. none of the girls i work with like him. i always try to avoid talking about him cause he makes me mad. I am usually good about keeping myself calm but i just can't stand him. i've been working at payless for a year and a half now and most of the time i've been practically running the store. he sits in the back room and 'does paperwork' most of his shift. when the store gets a visit and they say the store looks really good he tells them how he's been coaching and training alot and when they say the store needs improvements he tells them he's been so busy dealing with other stuff and hasn't spent alot of time in his store. he has been in a super bad mood lately too. he keeps "coaching" us. really he's just telling us we're not doing our job right. but we're doing way more than what he ever does! the weekends are always the worst. he has only ever worked one sunday in the past 2 years if not longer but everyone else has to rotate and work about one a month. saturdays are hard too. usually he will make up big projects we need to finish and then go check on another store or go on a really long lunch. we usually get an hour long lunch but he will either come back really early or stay longer. but if anyone else is even a few minutes late they get in trouble. this has been a super long week because he has had so many projects and has done nothing. today he was in the back room most of the day like always and we were really busy. he had 2 people who were on call and one had asked for the day off cause she was moving. so by 6:00 he decided he needed to call someone in and he called the one who was moving. then when she came he had more 'paperwork' in the back to do so me and the other girl were left alone in the messy store to help customers and clean everything up. while the other girl was helping them i straightened the shoes. payless is a pretty big store and we have a ton of shoes. i had to straighten about every shoe in the whole store. there was one other girl called in to help me but my boss only had her stay about 15 minutes and then had her leave again. anyways i ended up giving him my 2 weeks notice. i have a good job at the school and i don't want to have a bad attitude every time i work but it's hard to be cheerful when you work with him and he sits in the backroom and complains about a long day while you run the store.
i can't wait to be gone from there. i really will miss the girls i work with but i for sure won't miss having to do both my job and his!!!
