January 3rd, plus a couple days

As of January 3rd I have been at my place of employment a full year. I had planned on writing this on the 3rd, but I was sick and it just wasn’t happening.

In the year I have been here I have seen so many things. I have seen people doing things they shouldn’t. I have seen people doing more then they should. I have seen people get acknowledged for good and bad. I have become friends with people I never thought I would and had disagreements with them also.

At this job I get sick pay, holiday pay and vacation pay. All of which I am not used to. I have been working since I was 14 and this is one of the first jobs that actual fallows the rules and takes care of their people.

I have an easy job stock, clean, fold shirts and ring people up. It is one of the simplest jobs I have ever worked. And since I now have a two year old I am perfectly fine with it. In thirty years when I retire I will have a retirement fund and I never ever dreamed of that.

Working this job my daughter is taken care of. My house bills are paid and we finally may be able to build our credit enough to actually buy a house.

All of the teenagers (and some adults) that complain “Oh we don’t get paid enough” and “Oh this job is just to hard for me” I am so confused by. Yes I could go get a job that pays more, but I’m 90% sure I would hate it. I’ve been a manager and I’ve worked in a wearhouse and call center. I have hated each of those jobs and they stress me out.

After a year I have seen the ups and downs. For now I’m gonna stay and focus on building a future. Here’s to another 29 (or so) years.

2 days off, 5 days to go

So I spent my two days off this week sick as hell. Like head foggy, nose running and a fever sick. I also spent my two days off super medicated and taking care of my two year old daughter (being a mom is job you can’t call-in to). I got all the cloths washed and folded. The dishes are cleaned and put away.

Now it’s the five days of work. Five days of walking up at 2am (1am two of those days). Five days of donations. Five days of the employee bus. Five days till the freedom of vacation. You have no idea how long five days is till you wake up and go to work on your Monday.

New Year Less Work Bitching

So where I work it’s like High School all over again. I have decided I’m gonna focus less on bitching about the people at work and focus more on enjoying what I do. I am however still going to bitch it’s just going to be online. What else is blogging for. The theme is New Year, New Me right?

My annoyance today is Mr and Mrs Best. They will be the first people to tell you they are the total best at their job (get the name). He does he job better then anyone else just ask him (he has told me this before). She is the only one that can do her job right no one else knows how to (also has been told to me many times).

I have been working at my job for a year now and before this I was a manager at a shitty place with no respect. I know full well I am not the best at my job. There are days I really don’t give a shit and come in because I know I get paid. That being said I know what my job is. Come in help customers, fold cloths, stock and clean. That’s it, there is nothing else we have to do. This is seriously the easiest thing I have ever done and as long as I come in on time and don’t miss to many days I will always have a job.

Well Mr Best is painfully slow and does not do everything he is supposed to. We ask for things and they never show up or we are told he is not coming back to the store. Mrs Best will load a cart and drop it off saying “Hey can can you put this away I have to go somewhere else” even though she hasn’t been upstairs at all that day or will tell us we need to do something that 1. Isn’t our job or 2. She has no authority to tell us.

I know who my boss’s are and I for sure know what the hell my job is. The fact that you need to inform me of it when I know you don’t do yours annoys the fuck out of me. There have been other people who do the same job as them and work twice as hard as them that never bitch and never complain that are becoming upset because they are having to cover what Mr and Mrs Best aren’t doing.

No one ever tell the boss people because they don’t wanna cause problems. No one ever says anything to them because they always have a reason. Now Mr Best wants only four days because he is overworked and Mrs Best is over her job because she has so so things “That aren’t her job”. Are you serious, grow up. I was a manager and did three hundred times the work I was hired to do. It’s life and it happens at every job. Ether this is their first job or they are delusional and do not know how the work World works.

This is not the first time I have been annoyed by them and I am one hundred percent sure it won’t be the last. What I am sure of is, it is more relaxing and less stressful to bitch and complain here.

Double Standards

Nothing is ever equal

One is expected to pay their own way

One gets everything handed to them

One suffers with nothing

One has everything

One must walk

One gets a ride

One must fight to move forward

One slides on by

One gets more because of what’s between their legs

One gets none

One begs for food

One throws it away

One is judged for who they love

One loves who they want

One is looked down on because of color

One gets a free ride because of theirs

One is hated because of nationality

One is loved and does nothing

One is hated because of their beliefs

One is praised, but believes in hate

Double standards are a part of us. They are inside of everyone. We may not show it, we may not say it, but every single one of us has been hurt by it or has done it ourselves. Whether we like it or not it’s how we are raised. All we do is move forward and educate the next generation on having an open mind and maybe, just maybe there will be a little less

DOUBLE STANDARDS

Day 2

So today it day two of running a mile. I don’t really have a goal in mind there is just this image in my head of what I want to look like and some how I feel if I keep up the running and walking I will get there. I have been walking to and from work (half hour each way) for four months and it has become easy so I figured I need to throw something new in. So I walk the half hour to the track by my job at the high school run a mile which takes about fifteen minutes. Which is pretty good since I have not ran a mile since I was in high school eleven years ago. I figure I will run a mile everyday till it does not hurt when I hit a mile. When that happens I will move on to two miles a day. Like I said there is no real goal I am just doing it because it feels good and there is this image I wanna see someday.

I feel pretty good after day two. Granted I had planned on getting up at 6:30 and going running, but my body just would not get up. I hope that as the days go by and my body gets used to getting up so early and going to bed to late it will be better. Since I work nights till midnight and I wanna run so early it kinda makes it hard, but I really wanna do this and I want it to work.

Well that’s about it for today. Be back in a couple days to let you know if I’m still alive and not broken.
