The "Not A Day Thread" Thursday thread.

Just got home.  I'm pretty much done with my current employer.  They have cut my hours back to 12...yes, you read that right, 12 hours for one week.  Not acceptable, especially given the fact all the high-schoolers who are still living with mommy and daddy are getting more hours than I am.  Those brats don't have near as many bills to pay as I do, plus, most of them were only hired in the last 3 months. 

I put in an application on the recommendation of two co-workers/sisters for a new Japanese restaurant that opened up a couple months ago.  If they can offer me better hours, I'm leaving the current employer.   I also have an interview with a particular bookstore chain, so we'll see where that goes.

You wanna move to Texas?  I can get you a job as a cashier for a parts/service dept. of a dealership.  The downside, when you screw up, it's me that calls. 

LOL!  How I would love to move away from here and be closer to my Louisiana family.  But I chose radiography, so I'll be here awhile longer.

My till usually manages to stay close to perfect (sorry, gotta brag there ), though there are the occasional days in which $3 or $4 is missing.    I've gotten enough grief from co-workers who tease me, as I get highly irritated (my perfectionist side appears) when my till is off because it can take awhile to figure out where that money went, or where the heck it came from (when there's more in the till than there should be). Usually, it's the coupons that trip me up (as there are STRICT rules on those).

Sometimes, well usually at least 3 times a week, I wonder if those girls over there even know how to count money.  Or how if you don't take money in on something you don't stamp it paid.    

Oh and one of them is pregnant and an extra bitch now.  I get the cattle prod to her, when I email her I cc her boss.   

3 times a week?  That would get me fired, as my employer is EXTREMELY strict in their till over/under policy.       If the amount involved each time is over or under a certain amount ($50, which is pretty hard to manage to get to that point, but I've seen others do it).  and you do it 3 times in a period of 2 months they'll either demote you to another position in the store or terminate your job.

Singing to the choir honey.  I'd have fired them a long time ago if I could.

 Okay, Zune 3.0 software is now installed and ready to go.   Been working on that for the past hour. 

Hmmm, a WiFi Zune Marketplace? This oughta be good.
