working weekends blows but it has its good points. One, is that my hours will be helped out. and two i can take time off during the week. The only reason I'm really in here for the remainder of the day is because Michael is coming around this week for another audit, and he has announced that he will be DEFIDENTLY be stopping by my office and even asked when the door will be open.
This is exciting/stressful because since March Michael has done 2 audits already. I only got hit once. But the first time he went around he went into Carolyn's office and basically was so disgusted that we had to have an IMMEDIATE developers/field cooridnators meeting about how horrible the offices are. After that monster of a meeting he went out and about again and came into my office. There was a list...that was only one page, thank you..of things I have to fix. Which i have been doing. But I want to make sure everythign is in order because I want a perfect god damn audit. Is this possible? yeah probably. will it happen? i'm sure not, bc big old mike is a perfectionist and will defidently find something. So basically today i'm just going through MY files to make sure they are correct/organized etc..which they most defidently are not at the moment.
I went into the Firemans Home again today to see Mike. On the way in I passed Nick in the parking lot. Call me crazy, but i decided to approach him differently now since he told my staff that i dress unprofessionally, and agreed with HIS boss for asking if he could get with me for 20 dollars. So since he had basically semi damanged my self esteem, upset my staff and my consumer I was very cold with him and short. I'm wearing my plaid pants and bambi t-shirt thingy with thermal sleeves and sneakers. I'm washing dishes with him, and mopping floors--i'm not dressing any more "professionally". so of course he's gotta make some lame ass comment of "you look like you just got out of bed". There was a part of me that wanted so bad to look at him and go "well is that a step up or step down from looking like a 20 dollar hooker?" but i kept my cool and simply said "thank youuu" and opened the door up for myself and walked away from him.
So because he's pissed at me of course he's picking on Michael even more. I'm telling you--i'm gonna be this kids defense when he finally snaps and murders this man. Because it's really not that far fetched. Hopefully by Friday I 'll hear back from Kmart and get Michael the hell out of there. That and now i'll have to prepare myself for Nick to tell Tim how unprofessional i was! idiots.
Other than that work has been crap. The main drama of my week was with a man at Stop and Shop who pushes carts. He isnt' in my program but I want him to be. He obviously has problems, i'm gonna go with schizophrenia based on the way he behaves and looks but i mean this guy did his job. He was a very dont' fuck with me and i won't fuck with you type of dude. He knows who I am and we've exchanged looks and I have watched him a few times to see what he's like. he's incredibly intersting to me i'm sorry i'm weird. Anyway last week while i was bagging with Chris, Tom was apparently outside swinging at his sister in the parking lot (who damn well deserves it from what i understand) after provoking him. After the mass confusion of him not being one of my "guys" i did go outside and circle Tom to make sure he didn't abuse anyone else. As the crowd and drama started Tom basicaly just went back to pushing carts. I didnt' say anything to him because i thought that would be out of line. The end result was that of course Edna had to fire him to collect unemployment so he can get his act together. because ssending him back home all the time, where the problems are occuring, is obvioulsy a good idea. Thanks Terry, you're an idiot.
This woman Terry has no idea about anything or anyone other than her own self. She's going on about how he's a "psycho" and he "desreves to be locked up" and "why would they let him take the bus. he's gonna kill someone". I wanted to punch her so hard in the face. I hate when people have absolutly no educaton what so ever about individuals who are sick and feel that its ok to make statements like that and it wont' offend anyone. Yes he is sick, yes there is a reason why he lashed out at his sister, and yeah he's going to be looked at as the bad guy but you know what? I feel more bad for Tom than anybody else. Just because someone flips out sodesn't mean they need to be locked up. Just because this guy isn't social with anyone at work and is "weird" doesnt' mean he's a complete lunatic on the lose.
I hate that more than anything. Just as equally as I hate how this moron in my life that will get offended if you refer something as being "gay" or god forbid you say "fag". But then will claim things of being "retarted" or calling poeple "retarts". Does that make sense to anyone? I mean it doesnt to begin with. Because if you say somethings gay or retarted, its hard to grasp bc an object can't have a sexual preference orrrr a disability can it? I could give a shit if someone says something is gay or if somethings retarted, but don't preech for one and not the other. Especially when you are damn well aware that i work with peple who are "retarted" and yes it is insulting. it's incredibly insulting that you use that in a negative way. That's insutling my Nessain, my Danielle and my cousins. Seriously dude, don't point your finger unless your hands are clean. and i will so lash out (like psycho tom!) the next time it is said.
I didn't mean for this to be so ranty by the way. i feel better though.
