My patience is being tried severely

this town is trying me. I'm sooo 000 ooo 000 ready to flee.
So today I went to work , on time as always, ready to work. I get in there and ... my boss has a huge tub of chicken parts sitting in a tub of water and he's got a huge fryer set up on my prep table and I lose my mind.
I start bitching. I'm saying "OMG, I don't want to acknowledge that is there."
And "It's going to get grease all over the wall and the floor! It's going to be sooo hot in here, hotter than it already is!"
He over hears me say something to the waitress and asks what I said. I told him.
I said "I don't really want to be here right now."
He says "Do you ANY day?"
I said not lately, because the work keeps getting harder and harder and harder. He says "YOU are making it hard on YOURSELF."
He says "I don't want you here if you don't want to be here, go home."
He sent me home. So I have been applying for jobs all day. It's very frustrating... you either apply in person or online. The online applications half the time do NOT work.
Kroger's website timed me out three times and the last time wouldn't let me back on after I'd nearly finished the damn app.
I went online to see about Applebee's... which is very close... and it said "Apply in Person" so I went down there. Just now.
The guy said I have to be there at NINE on THURSDAY in person to fill out an app.
I work on Thursdays...
This Thursday I have Voc Rehab Eval, and so it will have to wait until NEXT Thursday.
*FRUSTRATED*
Why can't they just accept a fucking application like every other fucking place.
SOME people WORK.
Jesus!
So now I am hungry. I want to order a pizza but now that I'm not even sure if I go to work tomorrow I'm afraid to spend the money. He can't fire me like that and expect me not to retaliate, so I'm sure he is expecting me back tomorrow.
I mean, if he fired me for complaining he'll have a host of troubles by this time tomorrow ... namely, the IRS and the HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
*grin*

Hi Zed. It won't surprise you to hear this, but you're hair trigger. It takes one to know one. I hope you'll let someone sleep with you to take the edge off. You're very attractive and trust me, nothing gives perspective like a sweet roll in the hay. Just sayin'. Love your blog. And good luck with the job...

Breath... Slowly, in and out. You're spinning. I know you are because I recognize the symptoms. I have them myself. It's amazing what you're mind can do if you let it. Don't let it. You're the one in control. Concentrate on something good. Focus on something positive that's in your life right now, and before you go to sleep tonight, think about what you have to be thankful for. ... And don't forget, Breath.
