blegh...
... is what i am calling the soup we have had at work all week. well, its actually cream of blegh. it is supposed to be artichoke, and, while i don't like artichokes to begin with, this soup is particularly bad. we can't sell it because it is so gross. so we just keep it until it goes bad (hopefully soon).
... it is also how i feel about this week. i am only on the schedule 4 days a week now, for a year it was 5, now i'm down to 4. i'm quite upset about it and when it was brought up to the manager he told me that the owner doesn't want anyone on the schedule for more than 4 days. funny, when i was hired i told the (then) manager that i refused to work anywhere unless i could be guaranteed 5 days a week. she's not there anymore so that doesn't apply now, or something. i worked tuesday this week because we are short, and i didn't mind picking up the extra day, that makes 5 and thats what i want. but they asked me to work sunday night as a barback. no problem, i need the money. 6. then they asked if i could wait tables on sunday day, what with it being fathers day AND graduation weekend. sure, why not? i will get to come home for a little while in between and nap, or whatever. 7 in 6 days. then, while they were at it they put me on the schedule for saturday day too.... and told me that i can't leave before 4 on sunday because it will be too busy.... and my night shift sunday begins at 5. so, no rest for me, i will get an hour "lunch" and work a 12 hour shift total. and saturday, well, i will be there all day on saturday too. joy. i just keep telling myself "think of all the moneys you will make, a million dollars" but its hard not to realize they are taking advantage of me. no raise, no bonus, no nothing. just overtime hours, and the manager will buy me dinner (which just means no one will get charged for it, he doesn't actually pay for it himself). this has solidified my decision to look for a job as soon as the summer people go back to school and some place needs a bartender or manager. and the money? going into savings to buy that house, and some of it will send me back to school in the fall, if only for 2 classes a week.
maybe i will apply at the sexy-panties shop across the street from rosie's. i'm sure i could get an employee discount and they are hiring.
