Yep, I finally got sick for the first time since like...August or somewhere around there. The stupid weather caused it, much like it caused a ton of other people to get sick. According to Jen's doctor, sinuses really do not like the sudden weather changes that we've been experiencing. One day it's 75 degrees, all sunny and pretty, and the next it's 40 degrees and snowing. Such is life in Buffalo though. It's not really a big surprise; I knew I was going to get sick around this time.
I wish I could just curl back up into bed right now though. I should be cleaning my poor kitchen and getting dishes ready for Lacey but the thought of cleaning just makes me whimper and want to curl up in bed. Sadly I cannot curl into bed, as I have a stupid phone interview for United Health in an hour. And if I curl into bed, I will be asleep in 15 minutes, no matter what show/movie I watch on my computer. And sleeping right before a phone interview=bad.
Ugh.
I'm getting REALLY sick of work. Like extremely sick to the point where I just almost don't give a damn anymore. I understand that Kristen sucks balls as a manager so they put Chloe on her shift to help her out. However that makes Kristen just slack off even more. I'm fucking jealous of her because she has a second manager on all of her shifts now. Meanwhile I have to deal with two days by myself, which normally wouldn't be terrible, but we have a ton of new people on. I'm supposed to watch over them, train them, develop them, and make sure they go by all of our standards. How can I do that, maintain labor, AND clean the lobby/shut down the system/do all of my other normal work when I am the only manager on?! In a perfect world, I would have another manager who would be the grill manager. This other manager would watch over the grill trainees while I am in the lobby cleaning. But NO! Because I am the strong person, I get all of the shit dumped onto me. Awesome!!
When I brought up the fact that I would like another manager on my shifts (I even told Gwen I was fucking jealous of Kristen because she has another manager on her shift) she was like "Well you have to train and develop your crew. Who in your staff can you promote to a crew trainer"
Um...no. That whole process takes WAY TO LONG to train a crew person into a crew trainer, and then into a manager. It can take upwards to 3 months, maybe more depending on the person.
It's seriously turning into the whole Nina Situation, where I kept telling them that Nina and I were not working out as a manager team together, and they just said "Deal with it" so I would bend over backwards trying to please her and still got shit for it. It got to the point where I had to walk out for them to see how bad it got. The only reason I was not fired for walking out was because it took them forever to actually do something about it (Erin even admitted that).
And now I'm crying for a second manager and they say "train your crew and get a second manager in a year. Until then, deal with it" Oh..and there's always the high possibility that the person we are training will LEAVE US like the last eighty people we were trying to train into management. And how the fuck am I supposed to be training these people to be manager material when I have to do my own things, like clean the lobby, clean behind the counter, shut down the system, do paperwork, deposit (on Sundays/Mondays we cut down to three people due to how slow it is. A back drive thru person, a front service person who would be generally me, and a grill person)
I literally just want to give up right now and not go into work, but I know that would be bad. Anyways, I am going to go find something else to do until my phone interview and then pass out until I have to work. Hopefully you guys understood my rant...
