Okay…. like Awesome Friday….. turned into one of the dullest shifts I’ve ever had. It was just mindnumbingly boring and I have like nothing to say about it….. so this will be a very short entry.
So yeah…. couple of call ins, Sean Dougherty who apparently has another job finally to replace this one and is officially done. I appreciate he worked some of his shifts this week… so I won’t fault him for tonight. Chris McNamara called in to. Both of them were carts….. so that’s 1-9:30 with no cart person. we survived that…. Trevor did it until 8, and then Dan Damery did it for me until like 9:30 because he loves doing carts.
Lily and Nadejda are annoying having at the same time… they get all cliquey which isn’t too surprising. I mean… they work pretty hard…. but they’re a little hard to deal with at times. God…. I’m just so hard on the foreign workers…… makes me feel like an ass. Also… I definitely like Lily much better than Nadejda…. Lily works harder… is an awesome blocker and loves doing it… and she quicker and brighter. However….. the one in the deli/bakeshop is my favorite… she’s wicked hot… and just smiles all the time. Also… I love listening to them talk in their native language…. I just love the sound of it…. so different from ours.
So yeah…. having Laurel there was awesome…. but she spent most of her time in the desk and me on the front… so we didn’t see each other that much… though she did make the awesomest slide show about why S&S sucks and why it can be awesome….. and some of our favorite memories… from present epic battles with Dick England…. to fucking Matt Mehmel and his cookie. Lots of good stuff. And as was noticed surprisingly and yet not surprisingly…. for all the shitty people at work…. there are so many more awesome people. I mean…. I said to Paul Dwyer at some point….. we have a mostly very good front end right now… and it’s pretty true…. there are only 4 people on the hit list… Dick, Dave, Alex C., and Jeff L. Other than that it’s mostly real good people…. and that’s nice.
So Dan was there with me until midnight…. which is good… he does his work…. is wonderful to work with… and no drama or problems…. plus he totally knows what is going on so I don’t have to babysit him. He can ring and watch selfscan which takes some pressure off me. Plus he did an awesome job on carts…. got like all of them in and an hour…. though he did bring way too many in at one point and I had to send him back out with them to put them on the side. Plus… he’s totally hot… and I just love him. Though… at like 11…. he totally went and got his iPod and wore it for the rest of his shift…. but he took it off when customers came and it was late…. so I didn’t give a crap.
Also… Justin was manager tonight… and it just made me so not care. With Linda there… I keep motivated. With Bill there…. I’m somewhat motivated. With Paul there…. I’m also somewhat motivated…. with Heid-de-Kamp or Justin….. I just stop caring. Can’t motivate myself…. it’s just not worth it.
Also… apparently we’re totally the pedo store. I mean… I know Paul Dwyer. Apparently…. Bill Wimer is like just as bad. And worst of all is Justin the produce manager. I had no idea….. but he been around with a few of the underage girls…. quite a surprise. Maybe that really is the new designation of our store… send the pedo’s there to stay out of trouble or just molest the girls at the small store no one cares about anyway. I guess I fit in here…. it really is my store. I mean I try not to be as bad or blatant as any of them…. oh I adore training the cute boys on register…. but I put in the same time and effort on anyone… including like Brianna and Lily both of whom I enjoyed training. But I can’t really say I’m that much better…. and I know in my head I’m much much worse…. but I am an evil evil little boy with a very evil evil little mind.
Also…. I feel bad for her… but Jen is a terrible CDH. In her defense… she doesn’t want to be one… and only did it tonight because Paul Dwyer made her do it so he didn’t have to. She audited like 3 drawers and I audited them tonight and all of hers had the drawers short… and they were all even when I did them. Sometimes things just work out that way…. but she had 4 short $19 on checks…. and there was no check for $19 and they balanced fine for me. Also…. She had 9 short $49….. but said she was rushed… and that balanced perfectly. Plus 8 was $5 short but balanced perfect. It made me feel better because I came in to a mess of drawers all not balancing…. it ended up they all did…. which makes me happy.
Also… I have shifts overlapping with Dick next week… I’m anxious over how that’s going to go. I’m not going to just sit there and let him do whatever he wants because he yelled at me…. but at the same time I really don’t want to cause a scene or get in a fight with him again. Maybe he’ll be a bigger person than I give him credit for…. though I doubt it….. but maybe he’ll be fine working with me.
On a side note about food….. yeah… I’ve been eating a lot of cucumber sandwiches of late. Just had two…. they’re so delicious. Some cucumbers, bread…. and a cheese spread….. just so so good. Last week it was one of those vegetable and herb cheese spreads… tonight it was one with jalapeño and one with horseradish. Yum. I am satisfied.
