Weekend in Review
the weekends cannot be long enough. they are soooooooo nice.
lets see...friday nite after work i went to Santa Monica w/ Kate, Amanda, Kalman, & Jenny. It was fun, but *someone* was a little annoying, but we aren't really getting along right now anyway. And Kate just got her license 3 weeks ago, and she was the one who drove. so it felt like i was sent back to sophmore year where all my friends were getting their licenses and wanting to drive. it felt weird...made me nervous...she couldnt drive TOO well w/ a cigerette in her hand, but overall she was a good driver.
tonight i went to Matt's house to help sara babysit rachel. well, actually i just hung out there and played games. Lots of Mario Party. Rachel is such a sweet/funny/adorable little kid. she is so much fun.
tomorrow i am planning on going to the swap meet with sara (and maybe amanda) to go to the lady who makes prom dresses. and after that i need to do the stupid Hamlet movie w/ stephanie. english is so stupid...matt jackson is going to be our ophelia. =O)
* okay, i'm having major work issues (I work at StoneGround Bakery). Rich (my manager...not boss, thats Darren) is getting weird. he is 38 years old (just a fact). Lately he has been getting really bossy and badgering us (in a very nonprofessional way) to get the orders done faster when he takes almost everyone away to work on something else. And he never gives eric, the only other guy, any shit. just the girls.
Ok, he is a little to friendly with me. he always gives me hugs, occasionally smacks my ass, tickles me, etc. thats uncomfortable. i know he doesnt mean anything by it. but recently he has been coming up behind me and massaging my shoulders. wtf? its not like im stressed about anything and he comforting me or anything (which would still be weird). he just does it. eck.
****** and lastly, on friday, while darren was gone, Rich calls me into the office and starts talking to me about next year. (i dont know what im doing next year but i want to move away. darren knows i want to quit soon cuz i need more money. i get min. wage. he is fine with it). he said hes worried about me and kept asking "What is it you want to next year?" or "You need to make a plan" like, he was giving me the lecture my parents give all the time. he was acting like he knew my situation fully and was "just looking out for me" and then he started going on about how i should stay here and i said i didnt want to...i just want to stay for the summer. and he said he wanted to move out of where he lives and that i could be his roommate. and thats when i was like WHAT THE FUCK?! he was being completey serious, and when i said no, that i was wanting to live with someone around my age (not 38!!!!!) and someone i was friends with/had something in common with, he said to just think about it. FIRST OF ALL, for me personal life and work should be kept pretty much seperate, and SECONDLY, a boss should NOT be acting that way to his employees. it is VERY VERY unprofessional, and .....vile.
AND then Rich started asking me if i got a raise would i stay there and work full time (earlier that day when he asked what i would want to get paid at a different job, i said $7.50). and i said "i have school (duh). what are you talking about?" and he clarified that he was now talking about summer. ITS NOT EVEN HIS PLACE TO GIVE A RAISE. i think he is going fuckin crazy.
and one more thing. Cynthia (another co-worker. a 9th grader) is his niece and he lives with her family and he called her in after he was done talking to me and he wanted to know why she was mad at him (which he knew why perfectly well: he meddles in between cynthia and her mom & dad way too much and keeps getting her grounded). in the middle of while she was supposed to be working he calls her in demanding they talk about personal life, and when she said "no, you cant do this at work, i wont talk to you about it now" he said "i can do what i want, im your boss" or something along those lines. he told her mom that she was acting drunk at work and that EVERONE could tell (cuz she go caught drunk the night before) and that she should have been fired, just to get cynthia in more trouble. she wasnt acting drunk tho, NO ONE thought she was, and he is saying this. once again, you do not mix personal life with work. he is such a bad manager
so, i think i want to talk to darren and tell him whats been going on, so he can talk to rich and give him some tips or what you do and dont do as manager. but i feel really uncomfartable telling him and i know i will get emotional and i want to stay calm as i do it. what the fuck should i do?
