I wonder if the site is having technical difficulties, or if everyone decided to get on at once, its running slow right now...
Today was a day, let me tell you...
As my profile says, I work at bed bath and beyond, I work in the wherehouse so to say, and I recive freight.
At some point in my life this sign appeared above my head that says, "Give Jeremy Shit, He Enjoys It, And You WIll Too". Well trust me, from day one, for as long as I can remember, Im the btunr end of everyones shit, shis includes almost everyone that I work with.
By now, Ive gotten used to it, from day one, since I have been in the reciving department, my boss has torn into me, dont get me wrong, Ive torn back, but I can be vicious, and choose not too, cause I dont like that person that I become, so most of the time I grin and bear it, and when its warranted, Ill give it back.
Todays story isnt really about my co-workers giving me shit, Im just trying to garner your sympathy, so later you can give me shit about it..
What its about, is that EVERY FUCKING PERSON that I work with, is really inconsiderate, and my boss is the worst of them all.
I could tell him that I was dying of a horrible disease, and his eyes would go hazy within the first minute, and at some point, he would bring up something else.
His Boss, the keyholder of our department, I cant really explain him, most of the time, he walks around carrying that attitude that he hates his job, but is too lazy to get off his ass and do something about it.
Now dont get me wrong, these guys arent all that bad, but if someone pointed a gun at all of us, they would damn sure do everything in their power to live, while the rest of us died.
I managed a Sam Goody for a # of years, and if I learned anything, its that you need to teach your emplyees everything that you know, even if they are the lowliest part timer, cause there WILL come a day, when they may need to step up, and do you job for you, especially if they are a good employee.
These guys could care less what we know, I have had to fight for the information that I now know, and trust me, the one day where the keyholder was on vacation, and my boss left cause he hurt, who did he come too, to ask to help, the other managers in the store, that needed to cover for him? You guessed it, ME, that was months ago, but before that happened, I had to besically yell at my boss, and say to him "everygood manager teaches his emplyee everything, cause there will be a day, when your not around, and we'll need to know", well he replied, " it will never happen". Jackass.
Thats his nickname, thats what the Keyholder calls him, there isnt a day, that Jeff the Keyholder doesnt yell " hey Jackass, or Jimmy J Jackass". Its amusing.
I walk through out the store, and everyday, someone one will walk by me, and Ill ask "Hey, how are you"?
And they will walk by, and say good, and keep walking, as if they are too fucking busy to ask me back, or what they are doing is too fucking pressing on their time.
We use these scanners at work, to check in the shit that comes in, and everyday this week but today, the system went down for at least an hour, for no apparent reason, even the IT department couldnt figure it out.
Well yesterday, there was an email sent out, explaining the situation, and the store mamger called Jeff the keyholder, and told him about it, well, I have a tendency to pay attention to my surroundings more then others, sometimes you could call it nosiness, but most of the time I just want to know whats going on, well I over heard the one sided conversation, and after my boss hung up, he jumped on the store site, and I figured out that there was an email about it. Well after he yelled at Jackass to come over, I walked over, and started to read the email over their shoulders. After reading most of it, Jeff looks up at me, and asks me if I need anything, I reply that no, I was just reading the email, he looks at me if Im reading confidential information, and tells me to get back to work.
Fucking idiots didnt even bother to let any of us know what was going on, I mean, its not as if it was anything that we really needed to know, but I tell you what, the first thing that I would have done, was let my employees know what was going on.
Back to inconsiderations, at this point Im rambling...
I gave up 35000 a year, to do what I do, I go to work everyday, work my ass off, and I feel that the only reason that my boss thanks me, is cause he can leave work on time, and doesnt have to stay.
Not because he really cares, and truly appreciates what I do.
The bitch about all of this, is that I REALLY enjoy my job, and think that I will stay around, just so I can work my way up to Jackasses position, just so I can do it better, and run rings around the old management.
People, as Chris aka Nerd said in a previous Journal, Next time you go outside, smile at a person, ask them how they are doing, and truly be interested, hell, even a wave will do, youd be surprised what kind of affect that you will have on a person, if you just give them the proverbial time of day, and take the time to really listen.
I guess thats what this entry comes down too, thanks for reading, I appreciate it!!

do you live in a newer house/apartment complex? i think our problems stem from our house being over 100 years old. they get in through the mail slot and the cracked basement window and around the poorly sealed swamp cooler.
my dog has eaten a few, but there are dozens in the house every day - h e just can't keep up. sigh.
Sometimes people like your boss and coworkers, help people like you make the world a better place. Why? Because it makes you realize how horrible others can be, and makes you want to step up and change the environment around you. Therefore, spreading the love, and making everyone feel like doing the same. Good luck.
