I work too much. I know I complain about it, and should do something about it, but I am a slave to the man. The man is bringing me down. Wednesday night I fell asleep at 10 and slept until 10 the next day, Thursday I fell asleep at about the same time, but had to wake up and work 9-9:30 Friday, where I went over to Zach's, then took care of Gep and Amy's dogs (one of which is sooooo cuuuute- more later), then came home and fell asleep at 11 or so, and then had to wake up to work 8-4:30 Saturday. I came home after that and napped until about 7, then I went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month (my mother and I aren't home much), then went over to Zach's, took care of Gep and Amy's dogs again, and then I slept and slept and slept. Sunday was just as repetitious as the rest of the days, minus the grocery shopping. Today I worked until 4, and soon I will get to see my little sister Heidi! She's not really my sister, she just plays one on TV. She moved to Indiana a few years ago, and we just get to see her on random visits. Short and sweet ones- just like her! I say she's my sister because we are both short and have clammy hands and have big boobs. =) Yay for Heidi!!
I have to rant about Suncoast right now because that's what I do best. First of all- Paul Jackson, we're all familiar with my infamous hatered for him. Well, we have this policy at work where if we need a day off, it's a first come first serve basis. That's all well and good, except for the fact Paul asked off for most of May. He's hit June pretty hard as well. It's bad enough that he's asked for all of these days off, but what's worse is when he can't even work the days he is scheduled. He called me one night and asked if I could work on Saturday. I told him, "No. Fuck off, Paul Jackson." Ok, that's what I wish I said, but I told him no none the less. So THEN- this is the kicker right here kiddos- he comes into the ZOO on a day he asked off with his ugly girlfriend (girl was albino and icky) and has the nerve to ask if I could work Friday. IF YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO WORK A JOB, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A JOB!!!!!!! I'm a sucker and I said yes. I almost yelled at him and called him a fucker, but I didn't. I should have said I could work both days because he had asked off for the entire week last week, and that would have been two weeks full that he hadn't worked, and that is subject to termination. Ass coulda been fired, even though he wouldn't have. Here's what else is grand- he didn't tell anyone that I was working for him. He didn't call or anything. I told Jacob on Wednesday, and he told Sheila. I called on Friday to make sure they knew. That's just irresponsible. Grrrr to kids these days!!! (I'm old- piss off.)
Second of all- Shanna Somethingorother. A new girl that they hired. She worked over Christmas, but they didn't hire her back until recently. Frankly, they should have thought about that. The girl has also asked off for a billion days, and every weekend it seems as though she's scrambling for people to cover her shift. Yesterday she didn't show up to the meeting, and today she didn't show up at all. Luckily I was at the zoo today because they called me to see if I could come in. Argh!!
I joked with Jacob that they should hire someone else to ask off for a million days. Maybe then it'll all even out.
I needed to get that off my chest. I know they are young and all (16 and 17), but I never remember being that irresponsible with a job when I was their age. Anyway, age is not an excuse. They need their asses fired, and then they need to hire older people who have had jobs before and know how they work.
Harumph!
Anyway- happy thing. Gep and Amy have a Shi Tzu named Sammy, and he's sooooo cuuuuute. I wanted to steal him and keep him for myself. He's a wiggler, and I likes me some wiggles. Awwww.
It's sad that my happy sentences are much shorter than my angry ones. I need a vacation.
