The answer to your question

Recently one of my friends asked me a question, actually Rupurt asked me a lot of questions but this main one kind of had me stumped now i did promise i wouldnt blog about this or reveal this persons name. oops! sorry rupurt…

anyway here are some answers….

• When you know you cant live without them
• When you’d do anything to make them happy even if it means seeing them with someone else
• when you feel happy and excited just hearing their voice
• when you get that feeling in your tummy sometimes  not like first time kiss butterflies its kinda different but it sits there and it makes you feel warm and bubbly
• When your happy not saying anything just sitting in each others arms
• When they go away for a few days and  you realise how much you missed them
• When you can see your future with this person. not like first lust kind of future but like concrete kind of future and if you mention it to them and they agree with your plans.
• When you feel like complete arse and they do something small that makes you feel like screaming even if you cant as  you have no voice.

and this is my favourite one

when the other person says to you “omg you’re in love with me arent you?”

anyway rupurt there you go. enjoy.

If everyone else is doing it I should too

Talea   wrote about how she currently dislikes her job  and as I spent my weekend disccussing with Shannon  how the most important aspect of her job  is to unload and  reload the dishwasher as well as occasionally picking up documents not meant for her eyes  (go shan)  I decided its time for me to tell all of you how much my job sucks.  Coz  I know you guys want to hear.

So Head office has said CUT BUDGETS  as we’re overbudget  which means the following

• All staff must take outstanding leave NOW (totally unfair) or one of the managers will have to leave  (well in that case cant that fuckwit go??)
• If a staff member is sick and cannot work instead of calling someone in you must just extend as many as you can. This means even if you are 3 people down just extend those that are there.
• All staff must  NOT clock in until their shift is about to start. I find this funny as we’re supposed to (according to our contracts) be clocked in and ready to go 5 minutes before our shift has started.
• All staff are NOT to be working over their finish time.  This is extremely funny when its busy and there are still customers around. What do we do? well according to management you just leave it  to the person that is allowed to be clocked in for 15 minutes after finishing time. Sounds fair right?
• Even when its busy on such holidays like easter  we are not allowed to bring in more staff you just call on other staff that are able to do 5 jobs at once like yours truely. It doesnt matter that I’VE LOST MY VOICE
• One of the rules in my department is that  the office is left tidy for the next person the next day. I worked hard to keep it tidy as I hadnt been in there all weekend  and in the last 15 minutes of trade i got 5 customers meaning all my hard work had just gone down the toilet as  I had to run to clock out so I wouldnt be over 5 minutes late on clocking out!
• Each week a different department is to clean the staffroom and make sure all dishes are done. This week was our week Although it feels like every week one of us is doing it because the other departments seem to “forget” . So I clocked out then spent 15 minutes cleaning the staffroom.

Does any of this seem fair to you? We are being told when to take our holidays even though most of the staff members are saving them to go away overseas on holiday. AND we are basically working for free because we cant just up and leave our customers we stay until we’re finished but we arent getting paid for it and we cant show up late or leave early or have extra breaks as it “just doesnt work like that”.

So if you’ve got any work stories to share please do blog about them and tell me so I can come and read, my theory is “there will always be someone in a crappier job than me.”  Not that  i’m saying your job is crapier. Hey atleast you have your voice.

well anyway

im off

Happy Fucken Easter

Today is easter. people have known this for about say…oh i dont know at least the last five weeks even though at my good work we started  putting easter eggs on shelves on the 26th of december 07.  Yup the day after christmas we rolled on easter.

 Tonight I am sick. I have a runny nose, a sore throat, i get tired easy and I had to work.  Today was not just an ordinary day. my “team leader” had to go home early as she  couldnt use her voice.  Too much screaming in the bedroom I think. Yet I had to go from my department to the front  to do a job meant for atleast 3 people. Fantastic huh?

Then the duty manager strolls along and goes to me “what are you doing?”    so i replied “ I am helping pack bags as i know as  soon as i jump on a checkout i will get called away and i do not want to have to serve huge ques before i leave other wise my customers will get bitchy and i do not want to make the customers in my que bitchy if i decide to leave half way through”    Clearly that answer was good enough for him as he left me alone for the rest of the night.

I decided to answer the telephone. this is the main line into the store it only has calls meant for our store … heres our conversation.

“hello welcome to hell how can i help you?”

“yeah hi what time are the supermarkets open tomorrow?”

“im sorry they’re not open tomorrow, incase your wondering we’re not either”

“oh really? why not”

“its good friday tomorrow. nothing is open”

“really? oh… what time are you open til tonight?”

“9pm”

“oh ok thank you good bye”

yup.

Also this month  our managers decided that since they’re over budget anyone who is not meant to get paid past closing time will not get paid. I used to help out my mate as i usually wait for him and the managers didnt seem to care and i got paid for it. Now however i dont get paid one minute past my finishing time.  Tonight i finished work at 9.10pm.  so for 10 minutes i will not get paid. does that mean i can arrive to work late 10 minutes? no no it does not.  does that mean i can have an extra 10minutes on to a break? no no it does not. it just means that they got 10minutes of my time for free.

Also today  I got told to help out the front while the other person in my department was still here. I figured they’d already discussed it together so i went along with whatever. turns out she didnt know and i had to get called back to a cue about 7 people long and they were not impressed.  Oh im sorry.

Oh i nearly forgot to tell you. after work me and the flatmate/co-worker/mate  (all the same person he has mulitple personalities)  go grocery shopping as the one we like is 24 hours. tonight however they  decided to close at 10 so  we had to do our  shopping in less than half an hour!! and OMG when we’re at work we’re  allowed to do 2 closing calls to get people to get the fuck out these people were doing closing calls every two minutes THEN they started advertising cheap meat at the deli. like wtf???  but i couldnt get over how many calls they were doing to tell us to hurry the fuck up. !!

I am now going to go and enjoy my holiday devoted to a giant bunny.  A giant chocolate bunny just incase  you think i am THAT weird.

and watch team america. i’ve never seen it before. its about puppets. and everyone has aids. catchy song that. I suggested we watch Titanic. Flatmate happily agreed and went to go get it. and  came back with team america. i love him. AMERICA  FUCK YOU SUCK MY BALLS…. or something like that…  hey i just sing the songs..

now get the fuck out of here.
