Apparently Kit and Erin quit. I knew they left after a bad confrontation with Paul but I wasn't sure if it was just because they were sick or it was more.
I don't blame them. They were sick and we were severly understaffed and they kept being forced to come in. However, I feel bad for Paul, our new owner/manager/whatever too because the old management was awful and he just got thrown into all this and is trying to make things work but he can't do it all at once.
Still, now my friends are gone and I'm the only employee on the night shift right now. Paul stayed and worked with me last night but it wasn't the same and we couldn't get everything done because he's new and kept mopping the floor and stuff when other things needed to be done since the shift before us left the place in total chaos. I did as much as I could and couldn't finish everything but that's all I can do.
I'm really not looking forward to nights like last night. I was worried about every single little thing I was doing because I was scared Paul would think I was doing things wrong and would yell. I dunno what I'm going to do about the regulars that we usually give discounts and stuff. I'm scared he'll yell about that too or something so I dunno.
Blah. To make things worse, work managed to screw up my paycheck. I know I worked more than 29.5 hours last week. I'm positive it was at least 36.5. I only had two days off and I know on the 4th of July we came in an hour early and the .5 is likely from a couple days when we stayed 15 minutes late, which happens a lot.
This sucks, it means once again I have to go complain to Paul and I feel horrible because so many things keep going wrong and I know he's new and trying his best and this paycheck was still from the old management, but still. I can't just let them cheat me out of money either.
There's so much going on, all I really want to do is just quit right now but I can't let myself because it's my first job and I've already told them August 1st will be my last day over and over again so I'd feel bad to just leave now, especially because they really need people.
Meh. It's just...I feel selfish but I really don't want to work 2 weeks straight again. It's SUMMER after all.
::sigh::
