5:30 pm - maccas again
|
Just to clarify, cos I've had a few people ask about this now...
Over January, Maccas Torquay gets REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY busy.
Owner seems to think that we need to borrow staff for that month from other stores. However they haven't given the staff from other stores much information on why they're there.
They are coming in with attitudes such as "They need help with the new system", and "They need help because they're slow" or we apparently generally need help.
It's offensive and intrusive. And we would be fine if the current staff of our Maccas received the hours we used to. So far according to the rosters, we'll be struggling for another 2 weeks financially at least. Which doesn't seem right this time of year.
We're losing hours to the staff from other stores that are supposed to be helping us.
I'm just pissed off, I guess.
current mood:  frustrated

wtf is with these cervical immunisation thing-o's?? had the second of three needles today (spread over 6 months), and i felt giddy and had to sit there talking to the immunisation nurse for 10 minutes til i felt ok to go.
now both arms feel like they have been jabbed multiple times, when the left was the one that got the needle.

Maccas is frustrating. I like all the people, we're busy as all f***, but because we have lots of new people starting, we're not getting enough hours. Right before Christmas. Who hires someone 2 weeks before our most busy period??? And who gets to pick up the slack and run half the store when the manager has to go help in the kitchen? Me, and other senior staff. And we've just lost a heap of our best staff to the supermarket, and other places, because we're treated so badly.
We get yelled at for everything. Most of the time, it's the owner coming in and yelling at the managers for something, then they get cranky and take it out on us. It's over things like the floor is messy. We just had a massive rush of customers. We're making money for you while you sit on your arse at home. Go to hell.
Don't get me wrong, I like my job. They're very good about being flexible for family stuff, and giving me shifts only during times that Ab has childcare. But FFS, it's just so exhausting.
Of course, it doesn't help when you apply for heaps of jobs, get many an interview out of that effort, get told you're in the short list for a majority of those interviews, then none of you actually hire you. What a slap to the face. Kick up the butt. What am I, diseased or something? Am I too fat and ugly?
I know I'm not, and no, this isn't an ego thing - I don't want everyone to tell me I'm beautiful and blah blah blah. This is a situation where I just want someone to hire me. It has occurred to me on many occasions that the only reason I have this job at Maccas is because Shaun got it for me. And the only reason I got the temp work at Deakin was because it was work that Mum didn't want to do for herself - it was to repetitive and boring - so they paid me to do it.
I just wish I could get hired for a job based on my own merit and efforts.
current mood: cranky

You are The Hierophant
Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.
All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.
The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

4:54 pm - 100 words
|
http://www.100words.net/entry/read_member_batch.cfm?entry_member=ionephebe&entry_batch=October&entry_year=2003
I'm slightly disturbed at what I once thought. Some of it still rings true. The good news is, since I started back at uni since having Abby, I have failed one out of ten units, leaving me with 5 to go. So I should graduate end of this year. I have hopes of either doing Honours, or finding a decent job. I still have a chance at honours (surprisingly) - I'm sitting on a grade point average of 65.1.
I've been reminded of what old friends were like once. I appreciated them, but now I prefer my life of many acquaintances - lots of mums, lots of students, lots of old friends. That seems like it. There are some exceptions, so no offence people.
I still have my angst moments. I'm considering another round of 100 words. I still have hopes of being published. I might compile everything. That would be frightening.
current mood:  thoughtful

It's funny how hard it is to teach someone to look you in the eyes when they are talking to you.

Mildly concerned about uni starting back in 10 days. I want to finish at the end of this year. Granted, if I pass everything, I will graduate. IF I pass everything. Not leaving Geelong when I do graduate, which means I'm begging everyone I know to keep an ear out for opportunities. At the moment, my best chance is to work at Deakin somewhere. Hmm.
