(no subject)
Watching "True Hollywood Story: The Simpson Family". I love them girls. Mostly Ashlee. Though I do think the dad's weird, no matter what they say .. lol.
So. I start my new job tomorrow. I'm working at Walgreens. I'm supposed to be working in the pharmacy as a tech, but since I don't have my GED (yet), I just work out on the floor until I get it. It sucks not being able to get a diploma for homeschooling. Oh well, though. =)
As for Steak n Shake .. what a nightmare!
Okay, two Thursdays ago .. I was supposed to work. (This last week I had vacation anyway for VBS). I was sick, so I called off. Two hours ahead of time, as are the rules. They said one other person already called off, and another went home puking (hangover). So I had to call the night manager to see if I was allowed to call off. Whatever. I was sick, I fell asleep, I didn't care. The next day I figured "well .. I'm fired." I didn't go in. I thought it'd be considered a no call, no show. I get called two hours into the shift I was supposed to work Friday, by a fellow employee rather than a manager even if it is THEIR job, asking where I was. I told them I thought I was fired after the night before! Asked to talk to a manager. She tells me I wasn't fired, but I will be if I don't go in that night. But to call back in 10 minutes to see if I'm still needed or not.
...
Am I the only one that sees the problem here? Or at least how it sounded? It sounded like .. well, if we need you we won't fire you! Otherwise. *shrug* I don't have THAT low of self-respect. No thanks. I didn't call back.
They call me to see if I'll still work there Sunday, lmfao. I say yeah and go ahead and let them put me on the schedule for this week (not the week of VBS), because I figured I could just go with two jobs and have some extra money. Tonight gets here, I was supposed to go in at 4 and work until 10:30 which Steak n Shake time means 11-12. I can't do that. Then go to work in the morning? I don't think I could do it anyway. I'm just too tired, lmao. Plus I know it'll be the same crap I've always put up with. Two Sundays ago I came home crying my eyes out, it was just that bad.
A pharmacy technician is a huge opportunity. I'm starting at a $1.75 more than I make after two years at Steak n Shake, and the only way to go is up. My cousin is one, and he's gone so far. He got a traveling job where he made huge $$$ but didn't like being far from home. I wouldn't either. But it just goes to show the opportunities are there. And I've got to take them. I've got to prove to myself I can go farther than Steak n Shake. I've convinced myself for over two years I couldn't. I've stayed with them, though they've promised time and time again growth for me and it's not happened yet. I can't do that. I was supposed to once again go through the training classes this past July. Did it happen? Obviously not. Did they so much as give me an explanation as to why not? Yeah right.
It's just gonna be totally awkward going in Wednesday to get my check after the drama of it all, lol. Especially after not going in tonight when I told my favorite manager I would. I almost rather not go get it, but that's not exactly an option lol. Maybe if I were rich or something, haha.
Oh, they owe me a vacation check too that I've yet to get. Kind of upset about that. Grr.
*sigh* Just pray for me guys please, okay? lol. Thanks <3
