Working stiff...
Well, I've been working at Home Depot now for a month. I'm earning nearly 3 dollars more than I was earning at Sears... probably doing 3 times the work as well (and thats before everyone left me ALONE at the paint desk, on a saturday, during a paint sale). Since I've been at Home Depot, four paint associates have left *oh yeah I'm working in the paint department if you didnt already gather that*. That leaves me and Cheryl *who has had a very severe case of bronchitis for the last two weeks.* Soooooo that leaves me. I like the fact that I have a lot to do... but I don't like the fact that there isn't someone there to split the workload when I get overwhelmed. I don't like the fact that Ive been there for a month and they havent fixed the broken tint machine. I don't like the fact that they're taking their sweet a$$ time hiring new paint associates. Customers get angry when I dont know the answer to their question... but really is it my fault that you have no one else to ask? Id prefer it if there was someone else you could ask as well. *sigh* Im tired... I have to open many days of the week... meaning I have to be AT WORK at 6am or earlier. Anyone who knows me well knows this is a bad idea. Kristen + early morning = cranky!!!!!!!! Thats exactly what I am right now... cranky. I wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I have to go back and do it again today... oh yes I'm closing tonight and I open tomorrow. I don't think thats a formula for lots of sleep. Nope it isnt. *RAWR*
Well I suppose I need to talk about some positive things about the job. My bank account is happy. I get full time work. I work with paint and I get to learn a whole bunch of neat stuff about painting, new products and new/old techniques. There are some cool people there (AS LONG AS THEY STOP LEAVING!!!!!!!!!) so its cool that they're a nice bunch of people to work with.
Ok thats it.
Right now I have some of my own personal drama that I don't really care to discuss to any real extent here but we'll just say that doesn't help my crankiness at all... probably made it so it lingered in through this morning rather than my sleeping it off. I woke up at 8 and couldn't fall back asleep. Makes sense that I would do that on a day that all I want to do is be a lazy bum and sleep. I'm so tired. I just want to throw things. Oh, wait, that was the cranky lol. Well I guess they go hand in hand. *sigh*
Time to stop typing. No one reads these anyway.
