Guilt

I work part-time at a grocery store. I work with a great bunch of people. They are all full-time.

Answer me this: Why is it that, for the past couple of weeks (give or take), my hours have been catching up to them? Better yet, tell me why i have more hours than any other person in my department excluding my boss?

I shouldn't be complaining. I love working, money is needed, and this will help me get raises more often. But it's bothering me. It's actually making me quite upset. I feel so... guilty.

I have this job to save for school. It has taken me a couple of years, but i think i finally figured out what i want to do. This isn't long-term. But some of the others have been in this line of work for years. This is a career. They have families. They have bills. They need the hours. This isn't the best paying job. I don't live in a fancy city anymore. I live in a town, a town where businesses die almost on a daily basis. Yet here i am, stealing hours from people in need.

I'm sure they hate me. Hate may be a bit extreme. But they must be upset. I don't wanna sour the work relationship, you know? I've worked here before, i was treated like shit by a few employees but i came back. The pricks are gone. These people are great.

I may sound like an idiot, but i have a very guilty conscience. My brain doesn't work properly. I think i need to talk to my boss
