(no subject)
work on saturday and sunday.
i floated through these shifts, not really caring about or seeing anybody.
on saturday we had to hand out candy to the bratty little kids who were trick-or-treating at the mall. it was really annoying. some were so spoiled they complained about the two pieces of candy we gave them. others came back more than a few times. all the while their parents are letting them run around willy-nilly at the mall, not caring if they look greedy because they're coming around again or not.
some old guy made me go through the entire get well section. i literally picked up almost every single card and showed it to him. none were good enough. then when we got to the counter he came right around behind where the registers are to take several pieces of candy that he said he "deserved" over the children. and THEN he had the nerve to tell us to tell our managers that the card selection sucked and that we should be ashamed because walmart sells better cards than we do.
yeah. he got a big middle finger to his back as he was leaving.
sunday was okay. it went by quickly because i was back and forth for a few hours stocking ornaments. my assistant manger was there training a new victim, and he didn't really do anything all day (as usual). so it wasn't too bad.
on break i stole internet from the mall and just worked on nano, and then we closed. by the way, my assistant manager did nothing for closing until i asked him to come out and count the deposit.
then we drove to a meeting, another ten exits up the road.
why they chose to have the fucking meeting another half hour away, i don't know. but they did. a bunch of us from our store got to the other store (which was another ridiculously large store, like my old one) just in time. there was no food, and we all sat on the floor.
the interesting thing to me was the definite difference in personalities of the two stores. hosted by the other manager, the meeting itself was productive and inspiring, the way a meeting should be. but the attitude difference was major, covert looks exchanged between all of us from our store. the others that we didn't know seemed relaxed. they even seemed to like their manager. our assistant manager even sat on the opposite side of the half-circle from us.
all in all, a wasted evening. i had to attend this thing i didn't get paid for, which only took quality time away from nanoing, and away from seeing friends.
i've put my application into barnes & noble though, up the road. i even included a cover letter and resume... so hopefully i'll stand out. once i get hired, i'm gone, hallmark.
