CHANGE #20051201
hahaha. so today i forgot that it was the first of december and i tried to swipe my metropass at the rt station. whoops! the bus driver didn’t catch it, but the booth man was kind enough to knock on the window with some dec passes to remind me. so i took my purty green one outta my wallet and awaaaaaaay i went… until i hit pape station. ‘the passenger alarm has been activated’ at castle frank station, which we all suspect means that there was a jumper. anyhow, we all shuffled onto any bus that goes south so we could take a streetcar and then the bus driver came about 5 mins later to tell us that the subways were running again.
then i met wayne-o to exchange a hoody he bought last week with the f&f thing. so ummm… yeah, he learned who the incompetent one was. yeaaaah… what should’ve taken 5 minutes took 10. what a loser. and he said that there was a similar one at his hellish workplace last year. hahaha. how DO these people become managers?! anyhow, ALL the managers were SO bitchy today. like they were all pms-ing. the incompetent one told me 10 times that i was covering breaks and then she made it seem like it was MY fault that someone was going on her break late. fuck off, she had a crack-headed customer and i was HELPING one thank you very much. fuck, do it yourself then bitch! but then again, you’re incompetent… never mind. anyhow, i then went to cover someone else’s break upstairs and she just happened to be going down the stairs and she had to remind me that i was covering her break… yesssss that’s why i’m there you idiot! and THEN another manager was being bitchy too. so i finally snapped at him and told him off. he was saying that i had attitude, and i told him that as soon as i walked into the door all i got was attitude from all the managers so if there was a problem with mine then they should all check their own first! i don’t care. if you’re having a bad day, don’t take it out on me because i didn’t cause it. and i later apologized, but reminded him that we’re not all there to take their shit. one of the other cashiers and an associate were doing NO work because they were doing ‘display’ stuff, which isn’t their job and the manager was ok with that. so i didn’t do all the paperwork because i’m not letting people get away with slacking while i’m working. so we were there until 9:45 when we coulda been out by 9:15. i don’t care. i’m not picking up others’ slack, it’s not my problem. new promo yet again. such a bitch! they’re SO disorganized about shit. ooooooh look we have a new promo great! ok. so what’s the PROPER procedure… uhh… umm… sheeeeeeeit… yeah exactly. sadly a co-worker pointed out to me that i have more education than most, maybe all the managers in the store. le sigh.
incidentally, the manager i told off is a lil strange. he totally denies his background. dude, that’s SO high school. he’s east indian, but believes himself to be west indian. he’s got the accent and everything happening. it doesn’t make sense at all! it’s such a healthy sense of self he’s got. younger than me and likes to try to assert his power. le sigh. i need to get away from there! really… i need to find me another job so i can reduce my shifts there to just weekends or something. my right hand is now permanently scratched up. not like i want pretty, dainty and useless hands, but i don’t want them to look like shit either.
