morning Jade Brian and Jeff, sorry about your kid being sickBrian, Jeff was your weekend good?
Jade I know your weekend was great.
Terry
 
My weekend went pretty good. The work was pretty straightforward and the people were pretty nice. Have some serious jet lag now though, and I think I'm coming down with a respitory bug.
 
Morning Terry, Jeff, and Brian. Sorry about your kid being sick Brian. Mine are fighting something too. They seem to feeling a bit better today though and both of them went to school without protest.
 
Thanks for all the well wishes. Yes I think we may hit the 10,000 mark today!
Oh and it was my own stupidity that I forgot to use the word!
 
G'morning, y'all...again. ;) It was sheer stupidity of me to sleep two hours on the sofa and go to bed again at 3:00am (couldn't fall asleep). Because I'm still feeling tired. And I'm not making much sense. Excuse me while I fetch myself a cup of java... :caffeine:

I am working on lots of coffee right now as well. I slept in my youngest childs room on the floor to get him through the night.
 
UGH. What a crappy morning, I am so annoyed that I am going to rant. You have been warned;

long story short - after the 10th time of it being 45 minutes after my shift is up and no one coming to relieve me, I called the manager, who was PISSED at ME. How does that work??

She said to me, "I dont appreciate being called 10 minutes away from the store - it's not my fault, and I dont like walking in the door all stressed"

Okay, first of all, its her choice to get stressed at my news, that isnt my fault, second of all, maybe it isnt her fault but its HER responsibility to deal with it because she's the MANAGER, and who else am I SUPPOSED to call? It's definitely not MY fault - I've been working the past 10 hours, HOW can she be mad that I want to leave?!?!

GRRRRR

I am gonna call in tonight when another manager is and complain.

EDIT;
oh, then she bitched at me because I wasn't leaving fast enough, saying that if it was so urgent that I had to call her then I must have somewhere to be... I have NEVER left on time. EVER. I'm just sick of it!! Then she told me the phone number which I reached her at which was in the office wasn't for me to use... who was I supposed to call?!?! She was like, I was gonna be here in 10 minutes, it could have waited, but I didn't KNOW she was going to be there in 10 minutes!!!!
 
My own stupidity prevents me from understanding the above quote.

Crushing go back about 10 pages, my sons 8 and 9 played pee wee football and they lost there homecoming game 63-0 and one of the coaches started to swear at the kids and the other coach told them they are worthless not just my sons but the whole team.
So know you know.

Sam,

Hmmm. Manager. I think I know what that word means, but your manager's reaction has me wondering. I'll look it up. Manager: a person who has control or direction of an institution, business, etc., or of a part, division, or phase of it. Yep, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Sounds like you are only asking your manager to do what she is getting paid to do. It's not a good thing that she is angry about managing, especially angry with you.

It doesn't excuse her taking it out on you, but maybe it was just a bad day for her and doesn't happen regularly (I hope).

That sucks Sam. All I can say is welcome to the wonderful world of work. You are certainly not alone. Hang in there.

Terry,

That's sad. My son quit youth football because he had coaches like that. It didn't turn out to be a bad think because he has turned into a really good soccer player. He's a freshman in high school now and was pulled up to the varsity team last week as a goalkeeper and has been starting.

To me, youth football (and other youth sports programs) is all about the fundamentals, not just blocking and tackling fundamentals, but also learning teamwork. To put that kind of weight on those kids shoulders certainly isn't productive and may turn off kids.

I certainly hope your boys' next coach has his priorities straight and can truly 'coach 'em up' as I like to say.

Best,
crushing
