Work Blues
I work in retail.
Which means, I get to count money. Alot. Everyday. And I am almost one of those people with power enough to be responsible for the registers at the end of the night. Count it all up and so forth.
Well the last week, I was having a horrible time just with everything at work. So I took an extra day off to sort of settle my nerves, get my brain all calm again, cause I wa sjust getting very annoyed at coming up short and checks written for the wrong amount.... I was fed up with everything. (Sorry about my rambling!)
I am an increadibly honest person when it comes to stuff at work. I hate it when people bend the rules to do this or that, especially employees. Lord do I hate that. We basically get paid by our company to mind the store and they trust us with this task. I love my job. I would never want to do anything to jeapordize it.
So the freaking drawer comes up ten dollars short tonight. The only people working today is myself, and the store manager. Guess who the error is going to be blamed on? That's right folks, because I have no control over how much is in the drawers at the begining of the shift, and let's forget I have been off for three days... this all gets pushed into my lap.
I am just annoyed cause I'm starting to get paranoid about this. If the drawers are coming up exactly a rounded dollar short, that is a sign that something is getting taken from the till, one way or another. By accident or on purpose. Now.. I know *I* am not taking money from the til, but there is no way to really prove that stuff short of a lie detector test.
ARGH!
I am just rambling cause I took an extra day off to make sure my mind was rested from shit like this and now it's happening all over again. *GRUMBLE!!!*
