Work...hair
This is what livejournals are for. Bitching.
I have already mentioned the one coworker I cannot for the life of me get along with at my newish job (Fossil, since October). It was a few entries ago. He is still a major fucking asshole. He hasn't asked me to carry anything heavy but pretty much every comment he makes to me is snide. He was spoken to about the heavy lifting incident and since then he is so sarcastically saccharine that it pains me to even listen to him. It is painfully obvious that he is doing it just to get on my damn nerves...but since he is still being technically civil what could I do?
It has gotten worse, though. Now, every time we work together he has been taking extreme advantage of me. When he opens the store and I close, for example, he just plain does not do things knowing that I will have to come and finish his tasks and then complete my own. On Tuesday I opened the store. He had closed the night before. I left the store at 2 PM and one of the sales associates and I had completed all of the shipment for the day. There was nothing left to do but take care of customers and keep the store in order for the rest of the day. If we were to get a new shipment in he should have logged it and then got to work on it.
Oh, no. when I came in that morning the fucking store looked horrocious. It was in such worse condition than I had left it at 2 PM the day before that I figured we had to have gotten a shipment in and that all of the watches scattered about the floor were from the shipment. I went into the back room and sure enough we had gotten a shipment of about 26 boxes but none of the watches in the store had anything to do with the shipment because his lazy ass hadn't even LOGGED the shipment much less started working on it. WTF? I was livid. I was even more pissed off when we got over 65 boxes of shipment later on that day. There were boxes stacked up EVERYWHERE in our back room. Then had had the nerve to tell me that ALL of that shipment had to be completed by closing that night. He is out of his god damned mind. To this day that shipment still isn't completed...and we continue to get more shipments every single day.
On Wednesday I came in to work at 1 PM. He hadn't done any of his morning paperwork, did not fill out any of the daily sheets that are heavily relied upon during the day, and had not even opened one of the registers. He did put the till in it, though, which meant me having to open the register at closing time followed by the regular closing procedures just to get the till out of the register. He didn't even sign or log any of the returns, no sales, etc. for the day. When you can't even sign your own damn name on a paper before you put it away...that is just freakin' lazy. When I came in that day I asked him how they were doing with the shipment thus far and where he wanted me to begin. He told me to do the BROWN wallets. When I asked him this he was working on the BLACK wallets. I got started and he promptly took off for lunch. When he came back from lunch I kept a close eye on him. I am convinced that he fiddle daddles around when he is working because I have NEVER seen him accomplish any large projects. So he just walked around some and would come out from the back room with ONE handbag every now and again and put in on the shelf where it didn't even belong. He is so fucking lazy that he didn't even bring out the usual THREE purses of the same style/color so that he would not have to actually shift things around. I kept my mouth shut and just kept watching what he was doing. After about 15 minutes I had finished all of the brown wallets and I asked him if he was planning on finishing his project (the black wallets). He said "I thought you were going to do that." I asked "Why, Thomas?" His response: "I just did." Me, irritated that he just assumes that I am going to pick up his slack: "WHY?!" Him: "I just did." I bite my tongue and just shut up, making up my mind that I am going to just continue observing him.
I am so fucking sick and tired of this cat. EVERYBODY hates him. The last time I had the major issue with him I told the other assistant manager (who is now my store manager...thank goodness because he is awesome) that I "honestly do not know how long I will deal with him [Thomas]. The store manager said "Please don't give up on us." I felt really bad for even going to him with that stuff last time but this is really making me angry and I do not want it to affect my job. What the hell is with assholes in retail?!?!
About my hair. I want to dye it chocolate brown and put colored highlights in it. I think pink will look good with the brown but I am not sure how it will look with my skin tone. I just want to have some fun color in my hair. Oh, and I don't want any hardcore streaking. I want the "highlights" to be on the under layers of my hair so that they aren't like BOO YA I HAVE PINK HAIR but are just sort of subtle and peek out when my hair moves. I have never done bleaching at home though so it is kind of scary for me. Any suggestions?
