Increasingly Im given to wonder about the place im working at, and the people who are supposedly in control.

No less than five or six times over the last couple of weeks, Ive been rung up and asked to come in and do a nine hour shift at maybe an hour or in one case, fifteen minutes notice. And Im only a casual for the summer. Now dont get me wrong, ive said that I want as many shifts as I can get but actually structured so i know what im doing with my time. Theres more than a couple of people ahead of me, order wise, for these shifts and whatnot, so my question is basically this:

Who is fucking up so regularly?

Its either another one of the bar staff (unlikely), or one of the managers. I suspect it might well be my supervisor whos in charge of the rota since the rota thats been up on the wall hasnt had the right number of hours on it for a few weeks now. Either way,this is supposed to be a fairly classy hotel where this kinda crap does not happen.

Ho hum.

I know the feeling, back when I was summer help with Coca-Cola in Los Angeles. I would have plans for the day with my college buddies, and then the head mixer would point at me, and put his right hand over his left wrist (overtime). I winced, but always gave him a thumbs up. I found the time to call home to tell my friends I would be late; either go without me or wait.

I like the internet handle. Which Catallus, or did you just like the name? I am a Roman history buff.

mate, disorganisation happens everywhere. Some people seem to be ale to get jobs they can't really do properly, then have to arrange things to fit at the last minute. Blows, but hey, fact of life.

It get's better when you have a job where you have set hours though! Well I say that, I just end up turning up late and working later all the time! haha!
