Work Rant!!!
OMG!!! Why is it with a job you love there always have to be one or two people that fuck things up for you. Make you upset and angry. I have two specific cases to bring up.
One, I have one coworker behind the counter with me who is a sweet nice slightly older lady. The problem is she is neurotic, ADHD, has no common sense and has to argue with everything you tell her. She got kicked out of the kitchen and forced upon me because of this behavior and now I just want to strangle her. I had to use the voice I like to use on small children and animals when I want them to listen to me on her and she gets upset and complains to my number 2 that I'm not the boss of her when for a lot of intents of purposes I am.
Second is one of my managers. European , somewhat thick accent and not generally a nice fellow. He truly is a pain in my behind. Besides the fact we seem to always want to argue with each other and he wants to always send someone from behind my counter home. We're overstaffed some that's fine I understand but make logical decisions on who you're going to send home especially when money is involved. He irks me.
The only good bit is my boss. There's usually only a few people I ever call boss in my career life. I have never used it for one of the assistant managers. To me boss is one of the ultimate signs of respects coming out of me. My General Manager and My District Manager are m,y bosses. In some ways the VP of the company could be considered my boss but I don't deal with him enough to want to call him that. My boss walks up to me today out of the blue and goes "Why aren't you managing?" I said, "As far as I know the plan is for November when Dupont Circle opens." Well it seems the District Manager position is shuffling around so I will have a new person to deal with and get to know. But he has seen me work enough to see what I'm capable of. So hopefully everything will go okay in the future as long as I don't have to kill my one manager.
Til next time.
