So my job is really starting to bother me. Well at least right now, i love it how people don't listen sometimes. Of course i won't say any of this to the people i work with bc i hate people who bitch and complain about shit, but i can say w/e the hell i want in here. I work for GV as a conference assistant, which is basically running all the camps that come here for the summer (like highschool sports camps, adult art conferences, college prep camps, etc.) we check them in and out, provide them with linen, etc. Anyway, my sisters graduation party was this weekend, so i had people to cover my desk shifts, but there was this football camp coming in on Sunday, so i told Jasmine that i MIGHT be able to do it depending on what time i end up coming back from the grad party on sunday. Well Chad & i didn't even end up leaving till like, 1ish which means we wouldn't get back till 3ish except there was crappy construction on 127 and 96 so we took M-50 (slower speed limit) and the check-in was at 3, but we had to be there at 2. I get a voicemail from Josh, one of the guys i work with, around 2:20 when we stopped at a Meijer for gas asking where i was. So i called him back telling him i was still an hour or so outta GR and that i never said it was a definate thing that i was doing this check-in in the first place. So Josh said that was fine, it's just what he was told from Jasmine since he wasn't there when we were signing up for the check-in shifts. Then i get a call from Jasmine just a little bit ago reminding me of the check-in im doing tomorrow at noon, i gotta pickup my shirt, the check-in cards, keys, etc. and then check the camp in at 1. Which is fine, i knew all of this ahead of time but appreciated the reminder. Then she asks me what happened with me checking in that football camp on sunday.. uhhh derrrr, i said i MIGHT be able to do it, depending on what time i got back.. So now i havta talk to Nkondo (one of the managers) about it and i hope im not in trouble or anything bc of this. It seriously WAS NOT MY FAULT. I said "maybe" and that'd i'd call Jasmine to let her know if i could do it for sure, since i didn't call, i thought that meant that i wasn't going to be able to do it. Apparently i was wrong. I really despise getting in trouble with work, especially over stuff that isn't even my fault (like half that shit that happened at McDonald's.. those horrible memories are suddenly re-surfacing). I was thinking i really would like to do this job again next year too, maybe with Sarah even, but im thinking they're really picky about asking people back so if this messes up my chances for being a CA next year then im going to be so unbelievably pissed. I hate miscommunication mixups.. especially when they result at my expense. Eh im done, wasted enough time venting about this crap.
