Work stuff
This entry is out of date in many ways, but I figure I wrote it so I might as well post it. I'll add some more later...
Okay, first up, some old news... in order to make up for Alice leaving, the hotel hired a new worker, I'll call him Philip.
Dunno, I felt something was a bit off about Philip, he just seemed to be the type that thought he was cool and smoothe but wasn't. Plus I couldn't help but wonder why a guy in his late forties (actually he turned out to be 51) who was the manager of a hotel for several years and owned his own photography store would want to work a part-time, minimum wage position, but I figured, well, times are tough so, maybe he just needs the extra cash.
Now, interesting incident occurred shortly after I first met the guy. Me, him and our manager (not the boss, the manager) were in the backroom when suddenly she looked at me and said, "Mike, where is your name tag?"
I said, "Uh.. on my shirt?"
She said, "No, that's not your real name tag." I had on my "spare" name tag, as I'd grabbed that one from the car instead of my regular name tag.
I said, "Oh, yeah, well, my other one is in the car, I just grabbed this one without thinking."
And she goes, "Well, I need that name tag up here, and I need you to have on your real name tag. No one get two name tags around here, not even me."
"Uh, okay..."
What I find particularly weird about the whole situation thought was how I'd worn that name tag SEVERAL times in her presence and she apparently never noticed it till now. Personally, I think maybe she just wanted to show off her "managerial" power to the new worker.
Anyway, all this occurred a few days ago. I have to admit, despite my misgiving and concerns, I was kind of excited about them hiring a new night shift worker. With this guy taking over part time on night shift, and my co-worker Steph going to second shift, I was moved to working Sun through Wed, which means I would get Thursday, FRIDAY, and SATURDAY nights off! I could DO something on those nights, like maybe join one of the D&D groups that go on at the gaming store on Fridays, or something...
