impyDear headache, go away. I've taken things for you. I've had some caffeine. I've eaten and gotten plenty of sleep. I don't know what more I can do to make sure you just leave me alone.
In other news, I've officially started my holiday shopping. I've got ideas for a few people, but not everyone, so if you want a gift, hint/ask away. Again, I make no promises on the timeliness of any gift from me but it's still a shiny thing that'll probably arrive at your door and it means I thought of you and I care.
I'm half tempted to buy four of these T-Rex stuffed animals at work and give one away and keep three until people around here refuse to tell me what they'd like and then, then they will get a little stuffed T-Rex named Socks because every year I tell people to tell me what they want or they're getting socks. This year they just won't hear the capitalized letter, that's all.
My brother has gotten back together with his girlfriend and they're coming for Thanksgiving. Which... is weird. Our table is pretty small and it doesn't really fit all four of us and food and I'm not 100% sure the ants are gone from the kitchen counter, so I guess I'll have to make sure the bar area is cleared off. But that still won't solve the problem of where to sit people. I'm trying to swing myself back away from my immediate WTF, NO reaction because I am an adult and if Hollywood has taught me anything, it's that Thanksgiving is about awkwardness and food you only kinda sorta tolerate in order to get to the stuff you adore that no one makes at any other time of the year.
Thanksgiving also marks the first day of my new work schedule that pisses me off the more I think about it. Instead of being off Sundays and Mondays, I'll be off Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I'm already not happy about it because it doesn't start soon enough for me to watch the PLL special tonight and it will start just in time for me to miss the one holiday shopping event I sorta look forward to: AG's Cyber Monday Failtacular. Hopefully Z and I'll find nothing we want and won't have to waste too much time and she'll get some sleep and I won't want to stab people all night.
The thing that really ticks me off about the schedule is just how stupid the whole thing is. I don't remember if I posted about it before in anything other than a throwaway comment but basically: Work didn't schedule properly on my vacation and so the store manager flipped his lid when things weren't done to his satisfaction and suddenly we had to have certain criteria met in order for the schedule to not be done all willy nilly. Namely: 3 people on truck night, 3 people on Saturdays, and 2 people on regular nights, with someone staying til 8am.. But given that there are four of us, there was bound to be an overlap on a day and the holidays really should have meant this would be fine. But work and logic, right?
Anyway, after 4+ hours one night (not even close to exaggerating on that one, sadly) a schedule was made. Had I not been so damn DONE with everything, I should have just said, "screw it, I'll try and work til 8am on non-K days and we'll just alternate Saturdays for J&K, are we good?"
But nope, four hours of pain left me stupid.
But the worst part of all this is that none of this will even matter in January because J isn't gonna be working overnight anymore. She can't; it's just not feasible with her going back to school. Factor in K probably needing surgery and I'll be hosed. So really, they should've just sucked it up for another month and dealt with the bull, but hey. Work and logic...
My rage kicked into high gear when D saw the first two weeks of the Schedule Summit's results and started bitching about how her schedule changed the most and how unfair it was. I knew it was going to happen and I still wanted to throttle her.
1) No. Your schedule changed the absolute least. Your days off are exactly the same. Your hours changed a bit here and there but it was due to necessity since J cannot work til 8 most of the time and K can't work every single day.
2) Not once did anyone even try and go after your days off beyond a, "Man this would be easier if..." comment. And it really would have been easier to say to hell with your request/demand to have all three days off in a row. I wish that I'd let/pushed for them to break your days up because holyshitballs, it would have been easier to give you Sunday off and then two days elsewhere. Possibly Tuesday/Wednesday.
3) Your bitching about J getting preferential treatment is getting old. She and K have the most messed up schedules because they swap from week to week and J seems to get the worst end of having to work a billion days in a row and she's fine with it. Why? Because it's for a month.
4) You complained all last year and every day this year about not getting a single holiday off last year and not getting one off this year. I got you the holiday you wanted off and in return you shrieked, "Noooooooooo! Why would you do that?" Literally, five minutes before the scheduling conversation we were talking about you not getting a holiday off and how unfair it was. WTF.
5) I got you your birthday off. Same reaction since they're two days apart. Seriously? I wasn't even looking for a thank you, I just wanted a "don't have to work, yay!" kind of thing. Instead I got my head bitten off for my trouble. Fine, tell the scheduling manager you don't want them off and we made a mistake.
And finally:
6) None of this would even be necessary if you weren't a goddamned liar.
If D hadn't lied about not being able to work til 8am, we could have given her the 8s on days when K and J couldn't do them/wouldn't be there and then they could have alternated Saturdays and we'd have been in the clear. But she kept swearing up and down that she'd changed hours at her other job and needed to get off at 7am in order to be at work on time.
Only numerous times last week I heard her telling customers that as soon as she got off work, she was going home and going to sleep and not getting up for hours. Which initially I put down to just something you say without thinking, but no. Every week day she'd say this and back it up at night with having done nothing in the morning. Which means she lied to me and just didn't want to change her hours. So I got screwed so massively that I'm not even sure my schedule will work and she gets off with no real changes and she bitches when we tried to do something nice for her?
Screw that. I'm done. In January I'm asking for my days back because it's not fair that everyone else gets a piece of the weekend off and I don't and the only reason I didn't fight harder for my days was based on a lie. So no, you don't get me as the person in your corner for anything anymore. You can, however, shut the hell up because I'm tired of listening to the BS that falls outta your face.
And later on we'll discuss the mind trip that is Jessica Jones.

Date: 2015-11-26 04:18 am (UTC)Sending you all the good vibes for your meal tomorrow. I only have to put up with my asshole sibling; God only knows how awkward it would be if his gf showed up. Tho considering they won't stop texting 24/7 she might as well be here. Ugh.
