I just hate my job. I'm so far behind. I have a pallet left over from Monday. And I had lots of holes. And then Bruce called me to check. All because precious Robin doesn't wanna check. I really don't like her. She tries to pretend she's not there so no one can make her do anything. I've seen her walk by me and ignore Nora's 4th page for her to call her. wtf? But Bret made her check instead of me for the rest of the day so I could get caught up. As if. It took me till 11:00 to get to a point where I could actually fill the shelf. And by then I only put out 4 cases when a truck showed up. I did all the trucks today. And I've noticed Bret's being nice to me lately. Victor reckons it's cause he knows Bonnie's going to quit soon and he's trying to get me in a good mood for when that happens. A part of me almost wants to threaten to quit myself, just to make sure I get what I want. What I'd really like is to be making 14.75/hr. Why not? Baggers got a two dollar raise. Four years ago I was hired as a bagger making 5.50/hr. Baggers now make 7.19/hr. Yes, I realize our state's min. wage went up from 5.50 to 6.10 or something. But still. It just irritates me greatly that I had to fight and claw my way up for two years to get to 12.50, and then I hear about so-and-so the guy who was supposed to start in dairy who had worked here before and is an AWFUL employee I wouldn't recommend to anyone (seriously, no one wanted him. Front end couldn't deal with him and sent him to me. I gave him two days then sent him to service deli who had him for a month or two before they got rid of him) went to work at Albertsons for 11.00. w.t.f. I'm management and I'm only making almost two dollars more.
Also, I get hurt in the most interesting ways. Yesterday in the shower I rammed my elbow into one of the soap shelves. Last night it was aching. Today... I had trouble unloading the truck it hurt so bad. When I first started unloading grocery I was in so much pain I was starting to feel sick. So me using my arm differently made my shoulder and neck act up. Ever since that one day when my shoulder made that huge crack and popped back into place it's been better. Like a lot better. Like I think it's healing better. :)
And speaking of being in pain. Victor has a bad tooth and he was in so much pain from it earlier that he was crying. Now Victor's the sort who shrugs off pain like it's nothing. For him to be crying from pain? I almost started crying myself just hearing him. I'd called him from work when this happened. I cut our call short cause otherwise I would have started crying and gone to ask Bret if I could go home. As it was we ended up at the hospital and they prescribed him pain medicine and stuff and now he's in the other room sleeping. He only got a few hours of sleep last night from the pain.
Oh, so I haven't talked about the creepy nightcrew girl. She started a few weeks ago. She's really tall (5'10'ish???) and has black hair with a reddish streak in it that she keeps in a bun-ponytail thing. And she's weird. Like really weird. She parks wheelers anywhere and doesn't care where. She stacks horribly. She doesn't care about anything, leaves stuff wherever it happens to fall. And she's always talking to herself. Yes, I realize I talk to myself. But at least I have the common sense not to do it around other people! I can never tell what she's saying, but it's always something. And Bonnie told me she walked into the backroom to find her having a conversation with a bottle of shampoo. 0_0 She also told me that when she's doing her shelf reviews she hears her talking to the product she's stocking.
And in other store news Deana's one step closer to taking over the store, I think. I'm not sure, but I think Darcy's back in bakery now. Deana is so trying to take over. It started out small. Darby was my night person for a while, and did her darnedest to try and take over dairy. She was trying to backstab me at every possible opportunity. But I kept dodging. Then Deana got Front End Manager. And Darby got Wall Deli Manager. Then it was quiet for a while. Then Dustin came back, and along with him was his GF. They put Dustin in dairy. Dustin was actually alright. But he prefers Produce so Deana got him in over there. His GF is in... Pharmacy, of all places. 1. She's 18. Like just barely 18. 2. She has neither training nor a pharmacists certificate or whatever. 3. She's not just in pharmacy, she also does gobacks for the front sometimes. I hate the store. Anyway. Then they tried to put Aaron back in dairy, but, you know what? Aaron's a dumbass putz and even Zhaun wants to kick him out. So now Darcy started back and she's in bakery. (Oh, fyi, Deana's the mom, Darcy's the older sister, Darby's married to Aaron, Dustin's the brother, and I have no idea what his gf's name is. And for all I know Darcy's husband might have started too, I don't even know his name, let alone what he looks like, but we have a new guy in meat dept. and a new guy in service deli, so I dunno) It's like Deana's positioning all her family members in every department in the store. And I am quite proud of myself. She has tried three times to get me replaced and I haven't budged even a centimeter. HAH! XD I almost want to stay in dairy just to keep knocking away her attacks. But, no. I'll take ICM when Bonnie quits. I have got to get her to show me 709s. She's three weeks behind, however, and in no fit state to show me anything on 709s. I'll wait till she's caught up.
Ooooh, my shoulders hurt Both of them. Kinda weird actually. My left shoulder's all like, "Pfft, pain, whatever, I don't even notice it, really." Meanwhile my right shoulder's all like, "I'm dying!!! Oh, the pain! The misery!" Kinda shows you which shoulder I usually get pain in that I've built up that kind of tolerance in it.
