ohmygoooo!
heheh. livejournal. I remember this stuff.
So what's new with me? Well, currently I'm killing time before ze dude calls me so I can go to bed and sleepypoo. Generally I'm dealing with my five classes (only three of which I'm really concerned about) and juggling time between school and work. I'm seriously thinking of switching over to Home because Apparel is giving me no hours and frankly we keep hiring new people who don't know what they're doing and stealing all the hours from people like me. So I'm down to about 20 skimpy hours a week working stupid closing shifts once or twice a week (including Saturdays - wtf?!) And after cashiering in home last week, I realized how much work they actually do and how fast the time goes by. There's not really much time to talk and dillydally (teehee, dillydally) and there's a lot to be done. Plus they're hurting for people since a few of them are going back to school and losing availability, and a couple more quit. (dundundun!) And I left the home manager a note saying I'd be willing to work for him again anytime. Then I told another lower manager that I'd go over to home only if they offer me a significant pay raise, and by significant I mean quite a bit. I know, I'll be getting a raise in 2 months or so, but the thing that sucks about our pay raises is that they're not based on merit - they're based on how many hours you've put in. Get up to 1,000 hours, you get a raise, etc. This is completely bullshit, I know. But after working there for 14 months and only getting one raise, and the 15 cent cost of living raise, it's time for a change. And I'd hate to leave all those people behind, but let's face it - I do most of the hard work. I'm back there once, sometimes twice a week moving all that stupid freight, organizing everything into their piles only to have it get messed up again. When I bring over all the pallets of freight and sort it out to departments, it feels like nothing is getting done. I'm piling on more and more shit and I hardly see the piles shrink. It makes me wonder what our brilliant sectionheads are doing all day for forty hours a week. If I'm going to get paid slave wages while people above me get paid twice as much as me to stand around and talk and not touch their shit, I think it's time for me to move onto something more deserving. Those guys can suck themselves.
Wow. Such anger. Jeez. I had no idea that was in me. Thanks for helping me purge, livejournal!!!1
hmmmmmm...dude still hasn't called me. what's his deal?
Well anyways.
JAMMIE!
