Who knows what I'm doing at work next week.
Yesterday they had to fire the guy that was working 3 nights on third shift and 2 days on first/second shift because every single day his drawer was way too short. Initially I was scheduled off on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Be off for Superbowl Sunday and be able to do the stuff I needed to do Saturday. I was slated for 32 hours.
Then because they needed his shifts covered I was scheduled for 48 hours with on Saturday off. No Superbowl. But still able to do what I needed to do Saturday and one of those things is tres important.
Then I saw the schedule today.... They brought back Brad who was let go because the store wasn't going to be given enough hours to keep him around. Well now he's working second shift some nights and third shift others. And now I work 5-10pm on Saturday..so there goes at least the one most important thing I was going to do. I am off on Sunday...so I will most likely watch the Superbowl. And then I am off Tuesday. I may be able to do on Tuesday what I was going to do Saturday. So hopefully it'll still work out...just with a three day delay.
In addition to that thing, my mom wanted to see if I would help her bring back more food that she got for me from the food cupboard (THANK GOD!) and she could spend the night. Well i will see if she thinks that she can handle the food on the bus to the station where my bus from work drops me off to catch the train home, we can meet up there. She can spend the night and hang out until Sunday evening or Monday morning depending upon her schedule. Watch some movies together and just spend some more time together. And possibly discuss some more thoughts about our idea of getting a place together when our lease is up here at the end of May.
Tonight sucked at work. Simply put. At one point I had to go to the bathroom for 3 1/4 hours before I got the chance to go. I could barely get done any of the other things around the store that I wanted to. There were just too many people too much of the time. And while I really had to go...some people just seemed to have an intuition about it and spend 35 minutes waltzing through the store to end up buying only a pack of gum. I can't deal with that crap any more. Luckily my Division Manager stopped in while I was there alone and he said that they should be ending this whole "one person per shift" deal as almost all of the stores are doing it and it's not good. Seriously...if my bladder ever bursts while waiting for a chance to go, I will sue for every penny that I possibly can. And if a woman who stupidly poured coffee on herself can get as much money as she did (which I still can't believe) then I should get billions considering the circumstances.
And I shouldn't forget that I get no breaks whatsoever. I mean we technically had never gotten breaks. But with a coworker there we'd be able to go out for a short time, get away from the registers and bitchy customers (sure not all of them were/are..but ringing up every customer for 8 hours straight guarantees that you will ring up MANY such customers) and smoke a cigarette or just breath some 'fresh' air. But now there is no such option. You're glued to the register. If someone walks into the store...they're YOURS. Can't pass 'em off on anyone. Can't send them to someone else when they start complaining hardcore so that you can ring up the rest of the customers. You have to try to deal with them while your line grows longer and longer.
I kicked the shit out of the 60 gallon Rubbermaid trash can several times. And put a slight dent in the steel office door. Certainly it's not solid steel..but still..I hit it HARD. And it will continue until someone changes something I am sure.
Okay, okay. No more work rants for tonight. But uh oh. Look at that. It leaves me without much else to say.
I'll return again very soon (NuTang functionality permitting) hopefully with something positive to report about something.
Cheers.
isn't being human a funny thing? at times when we have nothing to complain about, we don't have anything to say at all. maybe that's why I'm so quiet all the time. I'm taking the saying "if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all" quite literally lol

If you moved with your mom, would have to leave that job or would your still have to keep that job? I'm just wondering how far away it is from Lansdale...
