So as HARD as I have been trying to stick it out w/ my job, they might just force me to quit. Tues night, I was asked to help clean up some spilled ketchup in the kitchen that had gotten onto the wall & floor. It wasn't enough ketchup to warrant a mop but it was enough for like 8 paper towels, you know? So as I was transitioning from the wall to the floor, my finger got cut...and I seriously thought it was the circles/gridded pattern on the floor, that's what I said in my incident report & later to some lady on the phone after I got cleaned up ( cut bled A LOT) by 1 of my bosses.
Found out later, a server had broken a glass in that area earlier that day, just swept it up vs that/mop & didn't report it to the Manager On Duty...server later got a mop I saw as I was getting gauzed up...I still had 2 hrs of work left & I felt ok to work. I had work the next day, went there, got done at 9:30 & on my day off, found out from my work insurance that I could go to the Urgent Care down the road from me vs 1 2 miles away.
I go there, check in and they say it will be a 2 hr wait, I ask can I go home for a bit and they say yeah just answer when we call and come back. I ended up coming back just 40 mins later ( got to eat brkft/drink water/OJ) due to forgetting to sign the last page of the Work Related Injury report. The waiting area is just a parking lot and so me and a few others who weren't in cars were finally given chairs after a while. So after waiting an hour and a half, I get sent in. I really thought I was just going to get my tetanus booster, but they looked at my cut and said it needed to get glued after they used iodine on it.
I get my booster, get my finger glued and I talked about what I do for work. I said I wash dishes, do trash, clean out the freezers, scrub the floors in there, clean the bathrooms, stock the stock room, help the slop guy load up, and scrub & squeegee the BoH floors. Doctor says ok you can go back to work for Friday, just NO dishes for 7 days. I think ok I can do a whole bunch of other shit and better let work know that day in case they need to have another utility come in to cover dishes. Well I call and one of my managers answers and says she'll call me back....
I don't hear from her so I think I can still work so I show up the next day ( as I am buying postcards for my Southern coworker & Bob*, run into my coworkers who have given me rides, they say today is PayDay & it's ok to just get your Check before your shift), so I go to work, say can I get my Check and tell my boss what happened yesterday since just like the night of my cut, she had no freakin idea what transpired between me and the other Managers the day before. She says she has to call HR.
She comes back & says if I have ANY restrictions, I can NOT work AT ALL! I start to say all the other dry hand stuff I can do and she reiterates the can NOT work at ALL part & says come back when restrictions are lifted. Then she brought up the Dept of Health making us wash our HANDS every half hour and my other restriction is not getting my hand wet, but having to wear a glove, touch stuff w/glove and wash the glove. She says we don't wash gloves, we wash HANDS. LIKE IF I COULD ONLY WASH MY HAND, I could work! Yeah, right! I just so wanted to blurt out shit that goes on at work that are against the Dept of Health rules/laws that go on daily....but me & my glove accommodation can't be flouted, right? So I just leave, deposit my Check and check out Walmart, Paradise Plants for couches and stop by Mattress Firm to look at beds.
I ended up buying a Sleepy's 8.25 Innerspring full mattress for $220 total including $50 delivery and set up ( tried to see if my sister guys could pick it up as I live just 3 blocks away, but they were still going to be in Kona). The delivery guys came this morning and even though they said I can sleep on it tonight, I am going to wait the 48 hrs and sleep on my air mattress still.
I tried to get some Kelly Boy Cookies but wrongly thought that their company address meant open to the public and yeah, their stuff is STILL being sold at KTA. I am going to go tomorrow to get some stuff ( need Spam as my 18 eggs are set to expire on the 4th!) as well as check out BedMart and Rent-A-Center for loveseats as Home Depot online store won't deliver to Hawaii or even ship to store here, same w/Target couches. Eating lunch at Jack in the Box ( Ultimate Cheeseburger and chocolate shake, you are MINE!)...Oh yeah, Paradise wanted $2500 for a pull out couch...worse comes to worse, futon couch from Walmart or Target will have to suffice...
I think my Mr Meyer's all natural cleaning spray is leaving a sticky feeling ( that or it is REACTING badly to some of the wood surfaces, etc) and my yellow Tide sucks as my clothes hardly smell like anything & some still smell dirty, so hoping Walmart had the blue cap one if not the green cap one.
Hung out w/my 2 sisters and my cousin tonight eating homemade steak nachos/listening to music and drinking my soda as they pre gamed a little before they went out drinking. Good thing I didn't talk specifics about my work since my cousin let it be known that she knows my boss AND my Oahu boss ( they must be related!)....
I left a msg w/my work Insurance guy and asked is he/work going to submit the incident report to the Dept of Labor (since they hadn't been reported yet) and am I going to get paid for the 3 scheduled days that I am missing work right now. I left a message w/my Workman's Comp contact and will hope to talk to her/Dept of Labor on Monday. If my work doesn't ALSO let me get paid for those days OR for this upcoming Tues/Wed shifts, which I have also been working for the past 2 wks, I might just say eff you guys, I quit.
Signing up for Zelle later since oh it's fine if my Mom doesn't want PayPal but I need to get Zelle TOO...had issues w/Mom earlier about my Savings card not allowing ATM withdrawals and shit still & her not wanting to go to the branch ATM..and how do we transfer $ in between our accts vs Money Orders/wiring $ ( extra fees and shit) so she can pay her part of the bill ( she thought her part was $94, not $130, like I said cuz her iWatch is $50 the Verizon guy said ( maybe she got a Protection Plan too, dk, 2 months ago), need to get a breakdown of shit from them or see if it's here or in my old room.
Hoping to get my carpet stuff done this week and have a couch ( or at least 1 coming sometime soon) & maybe get a nightstand from Smith's or from Mike down the road...got a mop so I can start extra heavy duty cleaning of the stairs and floors and get better traps as the new Combat ones aren't really working ( not infestation level, but am either finding a dead baby roach or seeing a few big ones outside even with the lights shining right on it/walkway every few days)...think some of the carpets that were left are what is leaving a lingering smell in the apt, so seeing if landlady wants em or can I toss em...
Wish Domino's wasn't so expensive here. Little Caesars is ok but I have noticed some parts of the dough don't get cooked all the way through and some of their Cheesy Bread is wayy too thin..
