Your like ten

28 Jan

So where I work we have some people who have been here like a hundred and fifty years. Some of them are amazing and some of them are the “I have worked here so long doing the same thing I don’t believe in change” Well we also get new people in. Now most the time the new people rotate like water. We have a extremely easy job but “I get paid better somewhere else” always comes up.

Back to my point not for the first time and probably not for the last time one of our millennial children that works for us told one of our seasoned veterans HOW TO DO THEIR JOB. Mrs Smile has been her almost twenty years and she is actually one of the amazing ones I work with. Her and Mr Smile have both been here almost twenty years. Yes at the same company and yes they both say this is the worst it has been.

Having new millennials (no you don’t get a name till you have worked here six months) said he needed to go tell these wearhouse guys how to do their job because things weren’t being don’t correctly. Another millennial told Mrs Smile she needed to do something different then how she was stocking and needed to help THEM. One she is not here to do your job for you and second seriously your going to tell ether one of them how to do their job. They could both do their jobs while dancing circles around you and You still couldn’t keep up.

Never in my life was I taught yes tell your elders (no matter how old or how incompetent) how to do their job. One you never know the reason WHY they are doing it that way. Two no matter how incompetent they are older then you and that is insanely disrespectful. Yes I would love to bitch and complain and tell a lot of them they aren’t doing their job, but nope not happening.

I was hired for……Edit

08 Jan

So I forgot some of my amazing “TEAM” that I was ever so amazingly reminded of at three am today.

We have one, let me say again ONE store that is open twenty-four/seven. Our Russian Auntie has been working this shift for about two hundred years and even though she gets annoyed still enjoys and comes in for this shift.

Now that being said we have had two people in the year I have been her actually stick around and kinda work the shift. Ponytail Pothead and Nerdy Pothead have both worked this shift. Ponytail offered to work this when Lazy decided she “Wanted something better” and left. That’s is a whole different can of worms. Many, many people were hired and quit because “Overnights are just to hard”. I was manager overnight at a twenty-four/seven fast food joint with only two people. These people have no idea what work is. Anyway Nerdy Pothead was hired.

Now Nerdy was hired to work overnights. That is the EXACT shift he was hired for. After working maybe a week he decided that overnights were just a horrible thing and it was to hard to do anything. Fast forward to today. He has been working mid and closing shifts and someone was hired to work the overnight. Well once again this person (who I have never met so they get the name No Name. Yes from Game of Throne. Once again a whole mother can of worms) quit because the job was “Just to hard”. Nerdy is just “at his breaking point” from being jerked around and not getting off overnights one hundred percent. All I can think is it’s what you were hired for. You knew what it was about coming in.

Seriously I’m so confused. Why would you take a job just to bitch and complain about it everyday. If you hate it that much quit. The “TEAM” will get over it and find a better fit. They do all the time.

I was hired for………………

07 Jan

I really don’t get it. I assumed every grown adult knew that even though you were hired for a certain job at some point you would be doing more of or something different during your time there.

As I’ve said before I have an easy job. Some days I don’t feel like doing my job. Some days I bust my ass and do things that are not in my job requirements. No matter how I feel when I come to work or when I call in I know what my job is and what they expect. That being said I seriously don’t understand some of the people I work with.

Needle Point has been talking about looking for a different job because “I wasn’t hired to do all this. Somedays I’m doing your job. Today I’m doing Grey’s job. I’m not getting paid enough to be doing all this.” Shit none of us This is still the easiest job there is. Yes his job is harder and he does more and I get that, but raises to happen as long as you work hard and the bosses see it.

Mr and Mrs Smile have been here for a hundred years. Mr Smile was talking about leaving because he is annoyed with people he works with for not doing their job and nothing happening to them. Mrs Smile told him to chill a couple more years and retirement is there. So thank god they are both staying, but for him to bring this up is the scary fact that longterm people are annoyed also.

Grey called in once again and even though I love him to death there is a point in which you have to realize this is a job. I totally understand being sick I really do. I have been totally miserable and had to come in. If you see that you have spent more days calling in then actually being at work 1. There might be the fear of losing your job 2. Maybe you should look for something that isn’t going to stress you out so much your sick all the time. Grey is liked by everyone except for the fact he is gone so much.

We have a group of people where I work who bring stuff up and make it look pretty in the store and I’m pretty sure not a single one of them ACTUALLY talks to the other. Fanny Pack complains people aren’t doing this. Mrs Best complains she is the only one that does this.

Jock and Clueless have to two of the most unemployee (that’s a Giggles word I have many) managers I have ever met. Some of the people don’t even know their names. The only time I actually see Jock is when people go on vacation and he actually has to come upstairs. Clueless at least goes to each store a couple times a week. Jock acts like he is god walking on water when he comes upstairs. Dude until I see you actually physically do something in the store there is no high horse you need to ride. If clueless would actually listen sometimes he would realize more of what’s going on with things.

Galby is the one who ACTUALLY runs things and gets things done. Oh do people bitch. “I can’t believe the people he hires” “He hires in bulk, not quality” “Why is he making us do this and that. We never cared before” “I don’t see why we have to ask that it’s not actually our job” “Why does this person have more hours” I really truly wonder if ANY of these people understand what being a boss and/or manager is like. I was one. I had to deal with all the lazy, bitchy and grumpy people. I had to deal with the I can’t work this this and this, but I need forty hours blah blah blah. The fact that he hasn’t actually blown up on someone totally amazes me. He is doing his job and his bosses job and sometimes his coworkers job, but never does he say “OMG I wasn’t hired for this” Now I will admit there are times he is grumpy and demanding. On those days I do my job and go home because he is the boss and pissing off the boss is not my highest goals.

I think all the No Call/No show teenagers are all gone which is amazing. They were draining the life out of this place. Forever people like Old Grace Kelly were talking about leaving if things didn’t get better. Now Forever people have been her so long I’m pretty sure they watched the first planes take off and most of them are so set in their ways the Digital people confuse them, but still having been here so long always complaining when things get bad and not actually changing things or being willing to change helps no one and also ruins and drains the life out of this place also.

Now I am not a saint. There are days I don’t do my job. There are days I do things I’m not supposed to. I have my faults just like everyone else, but I also understand this is a job. This job keeps a roof over my daughter’s head and food in her belly. So yes I may have been hired for one thing, but am also willing to do another.

January 3rd, plus a couple days

06 Jan

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

05 Jan

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

31 Dec

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.

Sex before work

31 Dec

So when I was younger I could have sex any where, any time and be totally great after. Now mind you I waited till I was eighteen to even have sex. Still it was always the best feeling. Where could we do it? How long would it take? Could we get done before anyone else showed up? Did anyone here us? I’ve done it in some of the strangest places and I have done some of the strangest things. I’ve never been shy and I have never been quite. I have always been open about my sex life with nothing to hide.

Now I am thirty-three and married and have one child. I am also female and annoyingly hormonal. There are sometimes I just really am not in the mood to have sex, like at all. Sometimes this mood can last days, weeks and even months. My husband gets annoyed and pissed off when this happens, but he still stays and loves me. We do have an open marriage, but he has never taken advantage of it (he is crazy I know. I can be a total bitch sometimes). He always tries to have sex like right before I have to get up for work because he says “I want you to be able to sleep before work”. Awesome that’s grate, but it annoys me more being woke up before my alarm on days I work (once again I know total bitch).

Well I finally gave in and we did it (baby, no baby we will see). Well I even took a shower and put clean cloths on and smell goods, but I still feel like sex. I don’t know how I worked threw my twenties and managed to keep a job because I sure the hell didn’t care back then. I’m sore in places that shouldn’t be sore at work. I’m drained from more then just having a two year old and not gonna lie it wasn’t the best sex I have ever had with him. I don’t know if it’s because I’m old or my body has changed since having a kid, but it just really wasn’t working for me this morning.

All I can say is sex before work is not my cup of tea anymore and it’s gonna be hard explaining that to my husband.

Can’t word sentence one

30 Dec

There has been so much I have wanted to say, but every time I went to type something all words were gone or something came up (I have a 2 year old it happens).

Within the past 2 weeks

A. One of the Korean Pop artist I listen to commented suicide.

B. My own mother disowned me and still showed up on Christmas to tell me how bad of a person I am.

C. I realized how large of a tribe I have and none of them are family.

D. Teenagers have no idea what a really job is or how to actually work.

E. That I raise my child different than most people I know.

F. Being adult means going to work even when you feel like death and just wanna crawl in a hole with your cold.

There is probably a lot more I could come up with, but these are the ones I actually managed to remember and write down.

A. Kim Jong-hyun from SHINee took his own life right before Christmas. He was/is and amazing singer and song writer. He also suffered from depression. Many people knew, they just did not know how bad, because he was always the light of the party.

When I was a kid I tried because I didn’t want to deal with School because I was picked on.

When I was an adult I tried because I thought the love of my life was done with me.

I am now 33 and married to the most amazing man ever. I live 1000 miles from everything around me when I was younger and have a happy, healthy and truly amazing 2 year old daughter.

Had I successfully ended my life I would have none of these things. You never know what is around the corner. Sometimes people can be helped and can get better. Sometimes nothing helps and they only safety they see and find is ending their own lives.

He will be missed and his songs will be loved by family and friends and fans for the rest of forever.

B. For my daughter’s birthday we are choosing to drive back home so she can see her grandparents and cousins that live there. Well my own mother, who lives 25 mins from us, is throwing a temper tantrum and told me she was not a grandmother to my daughter and that I am a horrible person for not letting her spend my daughter’s birthday with her. We see her maybe once every 2-3 months and she lives right down the road. Her other grandparents haven’t seen her for 2 years and they live 1000 miles away. Also we had decided that we were never gonna throw my daughter huge parties. Instead we are going to be taking family vacations so she grows up looking forward to them instead and once again that makes me a bad person.

I’m sorry I am not my siblings and do not need you to shell out hundreds of dollars on a 3 hour party. I’m sorry that I’m not my siblings and don’t need you to take care of every little thing we do. I’m sorry I’m an adult and can take care of my own family.

C. After the holidays I realized I have a tribe of people to help me with my little family and my daughter and none of them are my actual family. Not a single family member called on Christmas. Not a single one has called or asked about my daughter’s birthday. I am truly confused how people that have only known me a short time are more excited about these things then my own actual family.

D. I work with a bunch of teenagers who have no idea how to freaking work. I have worked wearhouse. I have worked out doors. I have worked fast food. I have worked call center. I have been a manager. I am 33 years old and I have the easiest job ever. You stock a water cooler. You fold t-shirts. You ring people up and talk to them. They have no idea how easy this job is and they are throwing it away.

E. I let my daughter do her own thing and learn at her own pace. I keep being told I need to do this and I need to do that. I will take your advice I promise, but please don’t tell me I am bad parent because I don’t do everything the way you think I need to.

F. For the past 2 weeks I have been living off DayQuil, coldess and vitamin c. I wish I was a kid again and could stay home and have my parents take care of me. Being an adult sucks.

Only The Braindead Travel

09 Dec

To start out I work in an airport and I truly love my job. Now I know some people just say that, but I actually do. I look forward to going in the morning and I am actually interested in how things are changing.

Now with that being said the moment people hit the front door. Not even past security, I mean just the front glass doors. It’s like all the brain power they normally have in their every day lives is gone.

Passenger 1 “Where are the restrooms?”

Me “Right over there next to that store”

Now we have HUGE signs that say this, but nope never fails they ask.

Passenger 2 “Where is the exit?”

Me “Right over there”

Once again we have HUGE signs that say this.

Passenger 3 “Are there places to eat here?”

Me “Yes right that way”

Nope not at all just HUGE signs that say food that way.

Passenger 4 “I have a problem with my ticket. Is there someone you can get ahold of for me?”

Me “I’m sorry you will have to talk to someone at &$;&(@:! counter”

No where on anything does it say I can help with any airline problems.

There are so many more stories and questions. Maybe in 30 years when I retire I will write a book on every braindead thing people say, ask or do at the airport.

I get that flying is stressful and I get that things get messed up, but seriously all it takes is 5 seconds to look and pay attention to your surroundings. Maybe it’s because I have been traveling since I was born, but it has never crossed my mind to belittle the people who work at the airport because I’m in a pissy mood.

Like I stated only the braindead travel because I almost guaranty they same person who is an braindead jerk at the airport is nothing like that in the real world. Yes there may be some who are and they know they are, but most are not, it’s just the airport. The airport truly turns the best of em braindead.

January 27

27 Jan

Spent my two days off setting up my friends apartment. It now looks like someone lives there.
Nothing much has gone on lately. Go to work, go home and get up and do it again the next day.
Pay the trash so that it would be picked up for the first time in two months. My landlord is a moron.
Well almost to work. Let’s see what happens today.
