What's going on with you 2.0?

Fo' Shiz, my fellow studette!! LOL

 

I am absolutely seething. I will be looking for a new job tomorrow, because I am sick of stupid fucking lying ass managers who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

I am one of the hardest workers they have in that goddamn restaurant, and that is not ego. I do so much more work, including creative endeavors I might just abandon since they were going to be done for free out of the kindess of my fucking heart, I've been led to believe a promotion was in the near future, only to be rewarded with a negative review with no basis in truth.

Fuck those lying bastards!!! Omg I'm so mad I can't even sleep right now. It's absolute bullshit!

"you lose your focus when your friends are at work" who? The ones I rarely have shifts with and speak to substantially less when they're present than -any other worker-???? Explain to me how that works. A specific situation was cited when I was opening with one of my roommates, a morning when I said maybe two words to her because I was doing my goddamn job and was too busy toeven think of goofing off let alone do it !!

I'm arranging a meeting with my gm, who isn't even half the dumbass the other managers are, and I will be informing him of this shit and my intention to leave. I don't quite think he will be wanting that to happen, since every time I have worked with him he has personally thanked me for working so hard.

I do my fuckig job. I most times end up doing everyone elses job, too. I go into work every day with a Fucking awesome attitude, constanly am smiling and keep my customers as happy as possible. I even do things by the book, which only maybe a third of the workers do.

I can't wait til I can get a fuckig job that's worth the effort, becausethis shit is clearly not. I am TIRED of busting my ass at menial jobs where people with half my iq and maturity get to boss me around and accuse me of stupid shit because they don't understand anything.

Come the fuck on. The manager who confronted me tonight has to change the schedule every single time he makes it because he's too stupid to read the availability sheet. The same manager who screws up nightly with the simplest of tasks, makes guest uncomfortable by flirting uncontrollably and by having stupid conversations with them at the tables while they clearly just want to eat in peace, and makes ME want to file a sexual harrassment complaint because he's made me extremely uncomfortable on many occasions with his perveted comments.

A couple of weeks ago I bent down to grab lids to restock. He came on the headset and told me to do it again, because he was watching my ass o. The camera in the office! Completely innappropriate!!!!

 

sorry to hear about all that dh, office politics can be a load at times...!!!

it had me thinking about a time in my working career. i was in advertising, late 80's, early 90's. very much a mans world. not many women in high positions at all....we were all lower. i started as a jnr secretary in the media department for about 15 men...i had just turned 18. slowly worked my way up to snr secretary which was quite a feet because of my age. i was finally promoted again to media assistant. i worked under 3 men and 1 woman. i unfortunately overheard the men one day talking about the snr secretary...they called her 'big tits'. i took offense to the name and the general 'blokey' atmosphere that i was working in and told her so that she knew. she reported it and the men who were reported came at me in a small room, fingers in my face, yelling about loyalty (i believe i was in the 'club') . my boss called me into the office and told me that i'd done the wrong thing which amazed me. wouldn't the men calling a woman 'big tits' be the ones in the wrong? anyways, the men had to apologise to my friend and had to admit that calling a colleague by a name like that was wrong, the fact that they went me was never addressed. i had my assessment shortly after all this and it was less than glowing. i stuck it out for a couple of months after that but the in the face male dominance was too much to deal with so i moved on.
of course being older and wiser i would now just give them a piece of my mind, but at the time i was extremely intimidated and young. i put my heart and soul into that job. worked from 6.30am til 4.30am at times. came in on weekends...lived and breathed advertising.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that the workplace will always be rife with discriminatory behaviors and you need to make the decision that is best for you...at least you know that this isn't what you want to do for the rest of your life...!!!
rant over

 

Damn tarshi that sounds horrible.

Ugh. I just want a better job. I don't have a utopian delusion of the perfect workplace in my mind, but I'm quite sure there are plenty of places better than this. It's sad, though, because when I started it wasn't so bad. But it's gradually gotten worse over the past few months.

I just wish graduation could hurry. Or that I could get some freelance work so I could drop my hours down. I need to figure out how to get photography gigs, cause I could make some serious cash doing it and be my own damn boss.

I do want to say something about all this crap. It's bad enough that he's a perv, but that on top of everything else just makes me want to punch him. Or get him fired. I'm certainly not one of those wolf crying hoes trying to get money from a lawsuit. I'd be more than happy just to get him reprimanded at the very least. He strikes me as a person who seriously is just too stupid to realize he's crossing a line.

I really don't need this extra stress, however, and I will certainly not keep quiet about it. This is a job, not my career, and it can be (hopefully) easily replaced by one just as crappy to keep me afloat. I refuse to allow this to go without reporting it to my gm though, because I find it completely offensive that, after all the other shit I've put up with from this guy, he hasthe audacity to accuse me of essentially slacking off when I know for a fact I have not.

But if talking doesn't work I'll just punch him. Lol ohhh it'd make me feel so good if I could do that.

 

such a happy post. it made me smile, haha.

 

My husband and I had our Loving Day interview for the local newspaper article Wednesday night. It went really well. I'm very much excited to see it when it's written up. I'll have to post a link on here once it's up. It was a lot of fun...I'm so glad they chose to write about us. I'm honored. :smt001

Last night a friend of mine got married. I love weddings, and I was her matron of honor - my first time ever being part of a bridal party. Despite my love for weddings, I'm not sure how I feel about her situation in particular. We've known eachother over 20yrs, and have definitely had our issues - we've just kind of rekindled our friendship over the past 2-3yrs. I've been hesitant, b/c of her level of maturity (or lack thereof), not to mention she's said some really hurtful things to me in the past...but whatever - life goes on. Anyway, to make a long story short...the girl has two college degrees, no job, she's knocked up, just married, and living in a tent. Yes, a TENT!! No running water, no electricity, sleeping on an air mattress....and she's almost 4 months pregnant. I'm just so baffled by the whole situation. Her and her (now) husband were both working and decided their bosses were "crazy", so they quit, with NO backup plan. They're both jobless, they're pregnant, and living in a freaking tent...WTF? And to top things off, her husband has a 13yr old daughter from a previous marriage - she lives in like Missouri or somewhere...he also has a 5yr old son from another past relationship who lives here in like the next town over. He wants to be part of the 5yr old's life, but the baby mama doesn't want him around. So instead of him going to court to fight for partial custody, he's chosen to NOT have a relationship with his son, b/c if he goes to court the state will find out he's not paying child support. They obviously can't afford to pay child support if they're living in a tent!! :shock: Maybe it's just me, but if I were dating a guy and he chose to sacrifice his relationship with one of his children b/c he doesn't want to offer financial support to take care of him/her, than I would think twice about his character. Maybe I'm wrong - I dunno. My friend's telling me how happy she is, but she's got to be delusional, right? Part of me feels bad for not telling her how I really feel, but at the same time, she's almost 32yrs old - she's old enough to know better. I don't think it would have done any good to tell her anyway. I find the whole situation a little depressing.

My aunt (and the racist prick that she lives with) is about to become homeless. She has MS which doesn't allow her to work, so that makes things even worse. My grandparents offered for her to come live with them, but she has to break all ties with the asshole - not going to happen. Other extended family has offered to help her out too, but just HER. But will she leave him?...no. Why, you ask?...b/c she's obviously an idiot. I hate it when people you love are stupid. Frustration!!

There is a lady at work, that we [myself and coworkers] have dubbed "the devil". I know it sounds harsh, but the woman is evil - I mean it. I have NEVER in my life met such a cold-hearted, backstabbing, manipulative, foul, miserable human being. She does EVERYTHING in her power to stir the pot - if there's not something going down...she'll find something. And she drags everyone on her path out into the street and tosses them under the freaking bus. It pisses me off so horribly. I could write a novel on the shit that woman has done. I'm just done with it.

There's this extremely obnoxious security guard who always comes into my office and babbles on and on and on. She's so animated with the way she moves and talks, and SO MELODRAMATIC - something I can't handle at 8:00am. She was in my office yesterday morning for a freaking hour going on about her drama...I didn't get a single word in - no lie. And the other day she tells me, randomly, that the true power couple is black women and white men. Fine, it's her opinion. Whatever. But then she told me her reason was b/c she believes ALL white women and black men are lazy. Maybe she didn't realize she was talking to a ww? Rude. :smt105

Another friend of mine that I work with has two totally out of control children that come to the office after school EVERY day. She's a good friend of mine, and I have flat out told her she needs to get a grip on her kids, but she doesn't seem to get it. I've had it. I've been nice and have been biting my tongue thus far, but I just might explode. The kids are rude, and they barge into people's private offices (mine included) without any warning. It pisses me off. Another friend at work just gave her two-weeks notice, left her husband and moved to TN with her new boyfriend. :neutral: And lastly, in the friend dept, a really good friend of mine just separated from her husband this week. He's acting like a total ass, and she's just sick of being bitched at ALL the time. I hope they can work things out though. *sigh* I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is going on...must be something in the water this week.

I have yet to find a nanny job that will allow me to stay home with my daughter. I've been searching for months...months!! It's so, so draining, and I miss her more than anything. :smt022 God must have bigger plans - I have to hold to that. My husband graduates in 2 weeks...I'm praying he'll find a fantabulous job that will allow me to not have to work.

Yeah, so this has been my week. I'm sick of people and their petty, rude shit. If people would just think before they open their fat, ignorant mouths, the world would be a better place. I feel totally beat down and discouraged. I'm frustrated. I'm emotionally numb...but hey, at least I'm not living in a tent. :roll:

 

hmm... lol

 

suprchic...i thought i was having a bad run of it until i read your post:-(i hope things start to turn around for you:smt056

 

Persephone and Suprchic, wow, reading your posts makes me feel bad for hating my life right now.

I hope everything works out for you Persephone, and good for you for standing up to that manager.

S-chic, there are no words to say about all of those people in your post!!

I'm so glad this week is over. It's been a crappy, extremely long week.

Here's to the weekend that's finally here!! artyman:

 

Thanks, Lippy. I'm okay, it's just been one of those weeks. But, I know there is always someone worse off than me, so it will be okay. I'm blessed regardless.
