>just got interviewed for a promotion I don't even want

You're fucked. If you're actually good, and you are (as it seems), showing lack of "oohh, it's so great to be here!" will not be good for your future. Yeah... Sucks ass, but you better just brace the future and get used to it. Why don't you want it though?

There was another employee who I thought was more qualified since I've only been working here for a month and they want to promote me to manager at some retail store.
It's an overnight manager position and it just seems like they get shit on by the morning manager for not getting shit done when there is almost no room for improvement besides firing the deadbeats and hiring competent people. I was interested in the position when I first started but now I don't care anymore. I'm working until I go back to school which would probably be in January. I don't really care for the job and it's really just a means to get money desu.
Manager said she was going to give me a call later today to "talk about pay" which most likely means I got the position. Don't know what to say to her when she calls though.

I genuinely thought the other employee was going to get the job and I'm pissed she didn't

If you don't care, why care? It only seems you don't like the change. Well, no better thing than to suck it up.

If I don't care about the job why should I be promoted to be burdened with more responsibility? I got this job really so I can coast and make some money, it's a temporary thing.
I'm completely fine with the position I have now and I feel taking the promotion would bring in more stress than it's worth.
Plus I have chronic depression and there are just some days where I'm completely suicidal and can't even be bothered to come into work. So to have that big responsibility on my shoulders would drive me insane if I was in a bad place.

Don't worry about it, that pay bump will make it better. I feel you on this one OP, just learn to find the little things that make your job bearable and stick with it.
