Wow I guess it's been a little while since my last update.
Oscar is doing much better and after a few weeks of worrying about this whole cancer thing I found out from the cancer specialist today that he doesn't have cancer at all. A large hernia but no cancer. So I'll take that as a good thing.
Work has been crap. I mean the place degrades everyday. The new temporary manager we have I've only seen once. Why because she keeps giving me the crappy closing shift. Other people have the availability to do it I'm just the one who gets stuck with it...for nine months. Probably because I'm the only one who actually does all of the stuff that needs to be done. Which only stings worse that I've worked there now for a year have never gotten a raise (the 5 cent "raise" they gave me to actually be paying a legal minimum wage doesn't count). Shit I'm one of if not the lowest paid member there and I actually DO work and get the crap shifts. But hey one nice note from my new temporary boss makes it all good, right?
Fuck even the ex-meth addict new hire got to be moved to open shifts (the best shifts there are). That's right we hire people who claim to be off of drugs (but admit that their boyfriend and friends are still on them, the same boyfriend and friends that form an endless stream of visitors.) Does this mean I should start giving the homeless/street people/drug addicts that camp in our store that management have not seen the problem with job applications?
But frankly it has stopped bothering me since I'm leaving in something like three weeks or so.
I'm sorry I had to vent on that topic. I mean every job has it's downsides and assholes but really the stuff that is going on makes me literally laugh at times. I mean it's the kind of bad stuff you joke about and laugh about because it's so absurd that it would ever happen anywhere. But it is happening and it's those poor saps that pay money to suffer.
Oh well.
