well, peeps...I got a raise and promotion at my demoralizing job. It has taken me one week to truly figure out that the powers that be (my bosses) just wanted to be left alone...so they gave me a job that does just that...I get to be the professional 'problem solver'. I don't mind the customers, never have. I was brainwashed years ago that the customer is my paycheck and I do everything in my power to make them happy...which is easy for me. The problem is the people I work with...some folks are mad at my new position...I was accused of taking my job too seriously-which is nonsense, I never take anything seriously unless there is alcohol involved! The most disturbing new job assignment came from the store manager, who asked me to get a notebook (I got Hello Kitty) and keep track of all the cashiers...all they do, talk about, screw up, take too long of a break...basically be a narc...then report to her every Monday on every ones fuck-ups...My first thought was "who's taking notes on me?" then I was struck by the unethical behavior and general lack of professionalism, and possible paranoia...which leads me to constantly looking for a new, less creepy and awful, job.
ahh...May. I have been working so much that my poor blog has suffered. I have also seen the beginning of a million DVD's...only to wake up with the end credits rolling. I have not been lazy though! I have read the 'Blue Bloods' books by Melissa De La Cruz. I have to say, even for young adult fiction, its pretty good. I had also read the 4 volume 'Vampire Diaries' and that was ok...De La Cruz is a better writer. I have been obsessing over the next book in the Sookie Stackhouse series 'Dead in the Family' by Charlaine Harris. I read that janks in like, 6 hours! I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen with my beloved vampires Bill, Pam and Eric! So, somewhere in all this reading I went to work and was a mom...even though I worked on mother's day...my kids made me some nice cards, those are always the best. I also managed to piss off my own mother, by not seeing her because of work and general exhaustion, sorry mom. Best things I've seen? The Ben Stiller Show on DVD, circa 1992. So funny! You can see where he got the ideas for some of his later characters, and I love the cast! It also made me drag out one of my favorite outfits from that time period and wear it to work today-long black empire waist dress with 8 eye black dr.martens-spent most of the day being called 'beetlejuice' by fellow co-workers. nice. have done no drinking or sexy-time=lame.
