SO...I got hired at Costco this week. I told them where I didn't want to go in the store and that's exactly where they put me, AND I asked for Sat. off for the big 40th surprise birthday party that is to be held half at my house and half at the neighbors house...guess what...Didn't get it off. That's fine whatever that bothers me. So yesterday morning I'm getting ready for school and my door bell rings, it's my neighbor. She's got red eyes and is shaking and asks me to take her to the hospital in Hollywood because her husband (whom I consider one of my best friends) got into an accident and she didn't have anyone close enough to take her there but me so I did. I called work and said I might not make it in and told them the circumstances and they were heartfelt about it and to keep them informed if I was to be able to make it or just to see where I was at. So I did later and they totally told me that they didn't remember me calling in. I was pissed. Their organization is atrocious (misspelled I know) and their compassion is even worse because they proceeded to tell me how wrong I was to miss work and that I am in the sick log already and I should not be in there. So I took it and ingested it and now I'm going into work today and listening to the CEO and the VP talk and give "Perspective". I've already decided this to be my last day, but I just wanted to hear what the CEO had to say and see if this company has any redeeming features. This is supposed to be one of the best companies in the United States to work for and I've seen nothing but scatter brained "It's not my job to know" kind of people.
