Hark! An Update This Way Comes! And This Just In: Work Sucks.
[Current Mood: -I don't wanna go to work todayyyyyyy-]
[Currently Listening To: I Believe In A Thing Called Love - The Darkness]
I realized I've been neglecting my blog (this may be the longest I've gone without an update...it's been what? A little over 2 months I believe...) But ah well, what can you do, life gets in the way.
Particularly work, which I've been hating more than usual lately due to a slew of managers who apparently can't match a written availability agreement when making a schedule. Not to sound bitchy, (because I know that mistakes happen,) what I have a problem with is when I tell one of my managers how asking me to come in at 7 in the bloody morning conflicts with my availabilty (which clearly states that I can't start until 12)...only to be referred to another manager who promptly tells me "no." flat out. At this point, being as eloquent as I am, I begin to make plans over calling at 7 in the morning to tell them I'm simply not coming in until 12 - as per my availability. However, the only real decent manager who can handle employee relations finds me as I'm navigating through people who think it's a great idea to stand in the middle of a small area with huge strollers, and tells me I can come in at 12 "no worries," while trying to make excuses for people who can't make schedules.
And now only-decent-manager-who-can-handle-employee-relations has left to go to a different store, and I'm stuck dealing with the hordes of people who really can't make schedules.
So today, I've decided to change my availability yet again, so that I can work less because I honestly can't understand why I'm being overworked in nearly every area of the store like I was last year, and these new employees are getting like, one shift a week.
Can someone explain it to me, because I'm having issues comprehending how the hell that works when I was working a hell-of-a-lot more than that last year.
ANYWAY, seeing as it's my first update in months, I've decided to change the stuff at the side in appropriation with the Christmas spirit. Thus the new Word of the Month is derailed and the Link of the Month is this gem, which is sure to get you into the Christmas spirit.
Enjoy your holiday shopping while I fight the powers of Upper Management!
