Stupid Bosses

August 25, 2008

My Boss likes to preach that she doesn’t “micro manage”. This is her was of saying, I approve time off and talk on the phone all day.

I took a salaried job which means u can work 35 hours, 40 hours, or 60 hours, but get paid for 40 regardless. (for those of u lucky enough not to know). I was told that this was a few extra hours a week during our busy times. turns out it is a MANDATORY 12 hours a week. It comes with the territory, but the bad part is that u NEVER get to work under 40 hours because she makes you make up any time missed.

Stupid CoWorkers

August 22, 2008

For the past three months I have been working with this woman who has got to be the most overpaid lazy slacker I’ve ever known. Okay, so like I said she has been with our company for three months. She has a role here that requires 100% motivation to be successful. When she interviewed with us, she was up against another candidate who in RETROSPECT would have worked out much better but I digress… the last two weeks have been hell. I had been so busy during the first couple of months she was here that I did not notice how little she actually works. But, my boss (there are three of us on our team) went out of town for business for a week and I saw all of the true colors. Monday, comes in at around 10 am (most arrive at 8:30) and makes an announcement to everyone in our row that she’s dying for a coffee, does anyone want anything, and then leaves for a 30 minute coffee break at the local coffee shop (which she does every day). WHICH IS ONE BLOCK AWAY.

Stupid Customers

Customer: “Oh, look at all this yummy gelato!”

Me: “Yes ma’am, the front row is gelato and the back row is ice cream.”

Customer: “Okay, I want butter pecan.”

(Butter pecan is in the back row, so it’s an ice cream. I scoop it for her.)

Customer: “Well, this is just delicious. Do you have any regular ice cream and not gelato?”

Me: “Yes ma’am. Like I said before, the back row is ice cream.”

Customer: *stops eating suddenly* “What? But I wanted gelato!”

Me: “Ma’am, I told you which ones were the gelatos. I can get you something else.”

Customer: “But, but, but I wanted gelato!”

Customer’s husband: “Quit your b****in’, I’ll eat it at home.”

Stupid Roommates

August 15, 2008

I have been living with my roomate for almost a year now. The last month has been hell. I dont have a job to pay rent, but I do work. For her that is. She will go to work at BlockBuster in a cool air conditioned place while I am mowing the lawn or cleaning the shrubs on the side of the house as part of her chore list. When she gets home she sits in the recliner and changes the channel without even asking me if I was watching tv or not. I am really hating her right now. On her days off she just puts me to work and watches me do it. In the kitchen she will make a big meal for herself and then tell me to clean it up. Pig she is! Her room and closet are filthy and who gets to clean it up…..ME! You would think she would help me out and maybe talk to her manager about getting me a job or soemthing. I dont know how much longer I can be her assistant.
