All pissed off and no one to disembowel
Sorry for the general lack of posting, guys. It's not that I didn't have stuff to say. Cause I did. But, well...every time I got on the computer I was just not in a very blog-ish mood. Or something. It might be connected to the whole being sick thing.
ANYWAY...here are some reasons why I am pissed off:
1. S (fellow assistant manager, who has been with the company over a year less than I have) is apparently going to be the one to take the city's Certified Food Manager training class. The one that the store's first assistant (that would be me) usually takes. The one that I have NOT taken. I could see if we were BOTH taking it. Maybe. But, I mean, wtf? I have worked my butt off (not literally, more's the pity) for this company, and suddenly she gets to take the class, after less than six months with the company? I understand she has management experience at plenty of other places, and I understand that she's four years older than I am and is not a lesbian, but seniority should count for something, right? Being the only one who gives a shit about any of the paperwork should count for something, right? Doing the truck order from U.S. Foods every week should count for something, right? Making most of the cakes should count for something, right? Right? Apparently not. I may be jumping to conclusions here, but there is only one training book, and it came from the office with HER name on it. I guess I will just have to talk to my manager tomorrow. It may be out of her hands, due to the jackass district supervisor. Maybe not. Don't really know. All I know is that I am VERY angry. I probably shouldn't be, because, after all, I'm not planning on sticking around long enough to make it worth the company's money to get me certified, but they don't know that. Hell, I think it's about time they wasted some money on me. Also, S is probably leaving to go back to Michigan next spring, possibly sooner. Once again, WTF?
2. (I bet you forgot this was even a list, didn't you?) I am still not completely well, so my head feels all funny, and I get tired quickly, and I sound scary when I try to sing along with the CD player in my car.
3. My back is really bothering me. I'd like to get a heating pad, but I'm reluctant to, because...
4. I have no money. I'm trying to save for this stupid family reunion thing I need to go to, and the only paycheck I'm getting between now and then is probably going to be pretty lousy, because I only got 29.4 hours last week. I was feeling really crappy, and I just couldn't work. So I lost about 10 hours. Grr.
5. In order to make up those hours, I'm going to have to try to convince Beth to let me work over 50 hours this week. Fun times!
6. Subway no longer accepts those little coupons. So I have 14 worthless Subway coupons sitting on my dresser.
7. I need a haircut, but I can't afford one (see #4).
8. My car needs a state inspection, an oil change, and probably a couple other things, but I only have about $100 I can spend on it (see #4).
9. I have no DVD player. That's been bothering me for...over a year now.
Grr.
