Ok, listen, or read rather,
I can understand that where I work there are a lot of youngins (14-18 yr olds) that are less responsible and would just call out of work willy nilly "cuz man, i like, really wanted to go to that concert" or "dude, I really, like, don't feel like going to work today"
That's wrong, and irresponsible, and maybe they should be required to bring in a doctors note for a few days off...but give me credit where it's due!
I do my damn work, and I work hard!
I mean, seriously, been there for 5 years, never caused trouble, no history of calling out randomly, only when I've been sick...which, unfortunately, has been more often as of late. I've been battling a bout of bronchitis that I can't seem to shake. It has reared its ugly head for the past two summers now.
Yes, that's right, I get bronchitis...in the middle of summer, warmest and most beautiful months of the year here, and I get sick...WTF?!?!
Well, I have diabetes, type 1, had it since I was 7, so my immune system is shot to hell.
I look ok on the outside, but am a mess inside.
Its like AIDS without being contagious, please don't get offended, because it is true.
If I don't die from some weird accident, I will most likely die from pneumonia or some common cold in my 60s, which come to think of it, isn't so rare in the elderly is it? I guess what I should say is, I work just as well or harder then my coworkers, but if I get overtired and a cold then I get bronchitis because my body is bad at fighting off the infection.
It happens fast too.
You get a cold, your sick for a few days, I get a cold and a few days later, its bronchitis.
SUCKS HUH?
so,
The point of this whole rant, is that in a complexly irrespective way, my 'Woman Instigating Troubling Coworker Hell ' or WITCH tells me I need to bring in a doctors note...WTF?!?! No feel better or anything, just a brief, concise demand for evidential paperwork. I love how she doesn't give a shit who I am or knows I have this problem, way great equal treatment and such employers, yea. I only have trouble with this supervisor, all the others are very understanding. My boss, well, we will just leave Natzi Bitch out of this.
This WITCH, she treats you like her dogs, like you serve her now dammit kneel before her! God forbid it you get sick, then your like a broken dog, someone to kick while your down.
Oh hell no, I kneel to no one.

What A Little Jerk!
OK, so last week I actually had a kid who didn't want to listen to me and well...
So Little Jerk comes in with his little sister, hes 8 shes 5, and there is already another 8 year old boy in there playing with the blocks. For some reason, when you get two or more 8 year old boys you get trouble, some kind of macho, dominant male in the room thing.
Usually its not a problem cuz they listen to you, you can, after all, call their parents and that's usually a good enough threat.
Well, this kid wouldn't listen.
Little Jerk keeps taking the other boys blocks, even off of this really spiffy town he's made. The other boy comes over and tells me, he's well behaved and polite. I tell him I'll take care of that, and let him know to just be patient, it will work out. I tell Little Jerk to stop, twice. He says hes going to hit the other boy, mind you these are those old fashioned wood blocks some of which are the size of baseball bats, I'm like, orly? O-O'
Me: "*insert real name here*, I'm calling your mother"
LJ: "How come everybody knows my name!"
Me: "You mom has to tell us, because we are responsible for watching you."
LJ: "AND how come you know her PHONE NUMBER?!?"
Me: "You mom has to give it to us for you to come in, in case we need to call her"
LJ: "Well, I've never heard of that, shesh, she never told me that, shesh, she's lost her privileges!" *pouts away*
Me: *erm, wtf, must be how he's disciplined...?*
LJ: "Well, if you call her I'm going to hit him"
Me: "No, your not" *now, I'm prepared to get between these kids, my body language must say so...*
LJ: "Well, I'll kick his tower down when she gets here then"
Me: *patiently waits for mother of devil child to arrive, acting nonchalant so as not to raise the suspicions of the room, they can smell worry you know*
Well, the mom gets there, and I tell her what her son had done, why I had to call her, and why he has to leave, she understands so no problem. He still had the nerve to knock the top off the tower, but mom's sharp disproving voice put a stop to that.
I put a note on his card, and left a note for who I consider my boss in the 'nursery'
I don't think Little Jerk will be returning any time soon.
By the way, his sister the whole time from start to finish, NO problems sharing, and was an absolutely lovely child...
so ?

WTF, Who did the schedule?!?!
Seriously,
It was like a kinder gardener with ADD did the schedule this week. This hasn't happened in a while, but it was baaaaaaad.
Ok, so in my previous post I talked about being scheduled without warning on Monday just because it was Labor Day and they felt it would be busy? I guess they scheduled too many people Monday since they gave me no trouble when I asked no to come in since I had plans.
Well, this over scheduling of course, effectively messed up the rest of the week.
Short staffed, MAN were we short staffed Tuesday!
At 1 in the afternoon there were only about 5 or 6 cashiers on front end when there should have been at least twice that!
Oh shit,
so managers were jumping on register(the cool managers were there by chance, so they were ready to get right in there and help, do what really needed to be done.), and the Nazi Bitch was calling for any available cashiers from the different departments in the store (I worked it for a couple hours, I was suppose to be in the kiddy room, I had to close it that night.) No one got their breaks, it was so dumb...and illegal.
I suspect the same person that scheduled me for work on the night of the baseball game was the one who did the schedule this week...so fuck them.

I signed WHAT?!?!
OK, granted this one was my fault, but I vow to learn from it, and not complain except for about how backhanded and sneaky it seems from this end...
I went in today to work, and check my schedule for this week, and found I was scheduled for work this holiday Monday. I'm not available to work Mondays and thus, had made plans with friends and family, so a conversation with my immediate superiors went something like this.
Me: "Um, I'm scheduled for work Monday, but I'm not even available to work Mondays and have plans."
Associate Service Supervisor: "Oh, your not available Monday?"
Me: "Well, no, not even normally, but plans have been made."
ASS: "Ok, no problem we'll take you off the schedule."
Me: "Ok then. "o_O' *surprised, but ok*
Now, this was weird, and the first time it had ever happened to me in all the 5 years I've worked here, so I went in search of a more knowledgeable employee...
Me: "I'm scheduled for work Monday, but I'm not even available to work Mondays and have plans, do you know why this happened?"
Slightly More Informed Labor Employee: "Oh yea, like a gazillion years ago when you were hired and signed 7 billion forms, on of them was for which holidays your available to work."
Me: "Ok, but since it's not my usually work day wouldn't it be nice if I was told I would be working?"
SMILE: "Yea, no, they dont have to tell you, or ask you or anything, and no one ever remembers the paper they signed either."
Me: "Not good tho, people make plans, have prior commitments, this is a bad system."
SMILE: "Yea, its kind of a gray area..."
Me: o_O'
Oh kaaaaaaaaaayyyyy,
my bad,
still,
this is a really bad fuck you in the ass kind of system.
