Life needs change.

CHANGE #20060621

went to volunteer at the AGO yesterday. it was good to see randall, it was bad to hear the news though. it seems that they're going on strike. they're running outta $ and because certain parts of the building are being worked on, they're also going to have to lay some people off. i think that's completely shitty and stupid. likewise someone from the library i volunteer at is going to be let go. everybody that works in the library is a necessary part of that department. nobody else knows the filing system like randall... and i swear they're ALL walking art history encyclopaedias. ask them anything about art and they'll know.

the strike is more likely to happen than not, and it's incredibly ill-timed. if they're supposed to complete renos and re-open officially in 2008 what does that tell the public? you can't even take care of your staff? and it completely kills any staff morale and trust. they'll likely hire an expensive mcd's consultant who knows NOTHING about the arts, but only the bottom line. how sad is that? hey teitlebaum, take a wage decrease.

so i've figured out what bothers me the MOST about the chiro i work for. and it's incredibly petty and superficial, but still...

HE'S A FREAKIN' MOUTH-BREATHER!!!!! jeezy peezy, do you know how annoying that it when a mouth-breather hovers over your shoulder to see what’s on the computer?!?!?!?

so today it was apparently MY fault. an order came in a while ago and i put it aside because i was working on other stuff. he decided to open it blah blah blah. so i didn't know if everything came in. and there was already a problem with the order which i've since fixed, but since he seems to fixate on stupid things, he neglected to mention that something else was missing. dude you took it, i fixed the other problem and if you didn't notice the other missing item it's not my fault. YOU took care of it. and STOP 'trying' to help me because no there are no openings for the rest of the week i've taken care of it so STOP saying that there is one. and if you can't stay on schedule then DON'T double-book your appointments. oh well, i don't care, i won't be here for that much longer. just have to stick it out for a bit more... ha! he's looking to sell one of his tables if he gets a good offer... he wants $2500, but the dude that was interested was offering $1500. it was the 1st table made... in the late 80s. hmmm... don't think he'll buy it. hmm... so i called back and told him the $2500... interesting. he'll call back. he forgot to pick up an order or herbal remedies and wants me to go pick it up. uhh... no. it's not my job, i don't know where it is and i don't have the time. fekk, i had to hustle so i could make up for the loss of pay jerk! get it yo damned self! it's SO annoying when he fixates on stupid things and keeps nagging me until i tell him it's done/being done/out of my hands. shut up! i heard you the 1st time!

as for the other place i work for. well... the more i think about it, the more frustrated i get. if there's problems and i tell somebody... even if i do nothing will change. apparently WE'RE the ones that are supposed to think of solutions. ok fine, fire the idiot at head office that deals with all the dumbass promotions or stick your foot down and say no fekking exceptions. why should i have to think of solutions to the problems when i don't have the power or the means necessary to change things? i'd like to fire tha asm who gets me angry, but i don't have the power to do that either. i've only ever gotten one apology from management about a mistake on their part and it wasn't even that particular manager's fault. so bite me! and NO this disorganization isn't EVERYWHERE it's specifically here. and i've worked some shitty ass places, but none as bad as here.

woke up with the WICKEDEST leg cramp in the world yesterday. holymf'n moly it still hurts a little bit right now. which tells me that mebbe i've been in retail for too damned long if i'm getting pains like this.

wow. my mother's REALLY angry at me. which means i really have to move out by september. she was yelling at me about my job situation yet again. this time she asked me why i keep getting jobs that kids outta high school can get. and was asking me why i didn't send in my cv to city hall. cuz i don't really want to work there. and i told her that. besides, she only really wants me to get a job with benefits. well i'd be on contract anyway. and besides, her friend's daughter that got the job at city hall is a high school dropout so really, it'd be an even 'lesser' job no? yeah, i know that i should be working at a better job fuck i don't think that every day?! but it's not like i can necessarily CHOOSE which jobs i want to work in. offers aren't pouring in like mad. no i have no rrsp's or any of that shit. so i'll die poor when i'm old, i'll just do the world a favour and become a hermit on a remote island and eke out a self-sufficient living. and when i die my cats can eat my body until there's nothing left. anyhow, she wants me to go back to school. again. for what? and why?
