Tuesday's Ramblings
So, i think that i have decided to write in here more often. The alternative isn't looking to be too good, so hopefully the therapeutic effects of this will help.
So, i started this post on Tuesday which is why the title is like it is, but it is now wed night.
So, here is the predicament that I'm in.
Iris may not have a job, she is in review with her boss (what all that entails i don't know, but my understanding is that whether she has a job or not is up in the air)
Mandi was put on a 1 week suspension yesterday morning because she called in sick and her boss's boyfriend/fiance thing decided to be an asshole. He is pretty much calling her a liar, she is demoted and whether she has a job or not is in limbo until after the store meeting this Saturday as then Mandi and her boss will be holding a meeting of their own. She came home yesterday and told me about the suspension. I had her call up her actual boss only to get a return call from her fiance thing again because her boss was in meetings all day. So, while he is sitting there chewing her out and just flat out lecturing her and not letting her actually express her side of things i take the phone and calmly explain that Mandi was very sick (he believes that she wasn't very sick at all), that she had been sitting in the bath tub, puking and crying because it hurt so bad and that she did actually call several people before calling him trying to get her shift covered (he is saying that she didn't call anyone which is flat out bullshit) and he started in with more bullshit about how he doesn't like being lied to and that if i want Mandi to have a job i better give the phone back to her, basically being a complete ass while i was calmly explaining to him what the situation actually was and so my last words to him before hanging up was, "This is a harassment suit, good bye." (come to find out, that while Mandi was listing out her prescriptions to him and i was helping her to remember that he actually did say, "I can hear him talking, if he wants to talk, put him on the phone" in a really pissy tone moments before i actually did take the phone.)
I'm tired of hearing how both Tammy (her boss) and Gordon (her boss's fiance/boyfriend thing) treat Mandi. It's bullshit. They handed her management and never trained her and still expect her to get everything right, but constantly raise their voice to her, lecture her and over all make her feel like shit. Instead of making a list of things they would like to see done, it's the whole lecture of, "You don't do anything right. I don't know why we even have you as a manager." kind of bullshit. If L&I would actually handle this thing in this state there would have been paperwork filled out last night, but unfortunately this is a bloody 'at will' employment state, so needless to say, we are sitting here fucked up the ass with no lube and no prep.
I am pretty much thinking that i need to just quit school and look for a full time job just so that we can make rent on both the house and the shop. I'm not even counting my own personal bills on this. This is sad because I only theoretically have 1 quarter left for school if i actually got myself motivated and got it done, but given the current situation i don't think that i have a choice. And even if i do find a full time job, i have no idea how I'm going to be able to work the shop and hold a job at the same time or how my shift will be covered at the shop if i can't cover it or if Iris still has a job, it will be intermittent and during the day while she is supposed to be working the shop so i don't know how that is going to work either. Basically, cluster fuck 201, class has begun. *sigh* *takes this opportunity to scream random expletives at the top of his lungs*
I really am beginning to truly wonder if the alternative would be a better option at this point.....
