azuriteThey let me off early from work today, but only after a lot of angst about my break. I had concession, thus, I had to be there early (11am) to open. o_O All the other days of the week, concession, box, and guest services all got there at the same time, and everyone helped to open. Why on FRIDAY, the busiest day of the week, when movies OPEN, did the schedule change to NOT allow me to have a SHRED of help from ANYONE... hell if I know.
They were getting on my ass about being late, so I showed up at 10:40 in the morning. Mom has been sick the past few days and being the most annoying nag EVER, and woke me up at 6:45am to ask me a Very Stupid Question that got us into a mini-argument and resulted in me losing an hour and a half of sleep. GRR! So not only did I lose sleep and was I early to work, but NO ONE GAVE A SHIT.
Concession always comes in earlier than everyone else, because of all the set-up involved. And thus, concession has priority for breaks, regardless of whoever has their shift ending sooner. I was scheduled 11-615, but did I get my break when Ashley came in at 1? No. Did I get it at 2, when I'd been there a full 3 hours? No. Did I get it at 2:30, when I'd been there nearly 4 hours? NO. I had to keep waiting until 2:40 to get my break, and I was irritable and starving by then-- and guess what!? Box and stock BOTH got their breaks before me. And Manager-A was still giving me her condescending-"you're a newbie" attitude, even though *I* seem to know more about what I'm doing than she does. (Seriously, don't let her get near a toolbox; she'll find a way to break something MORE rather than fix it.)
OC-A also was a bit irritating since she didn't seem to give a crap that I'd gone out of my way to be early like she and all the others had SAID to... and I was last to get my break, even though by their own rule book, I should have gotten it first. Worse, OC-J, who is a snot, power-trippy DROP OUT who thinks she KNOWS EVERYTHING gave me attitude about being 6 minutes late from break. In case you don't know, the clock in the break room is like every other clock in the theater-- always speeding up or slowing down. It doesn't matter if you have a watch or a cell phone, you'll be late no matter what you do or where you go. Though I would like to know why she, in all her mightiness, couldn't walk the 10 yards to the breakroom 1 minute after I was late and say "Hey Mer, you're going to be late, why don't you go to Guest Services and clock back in?" And I would have been fine and dandy with that.
I swear to god, that braid of hers must be cutting off what circulation there is to her puny brain. >_< ! But I'm a NICE person, so I will only rant this here in my journal, and not to their face. Besides, this might just be a mood swing.
I got sent home, that's the good thing. I planned to watch YGO, work on my WDKYbanner, and then go do my laundry, but the damn banner took longer than I thought. I still have some issues with ImageReady and tweening, so I'll work on it later-- I hope it saved my frames! ;_;
I'm impatient to get out of here and do my laundry-- there's a security meeting tomorrow and I have to have my uniform all nice and washed. But I need to go to the bank to get cash, and I wanna swing by C&C to get the newest Shounen Jump! X_X... I'm also kind of rushing, hoping the Darks will hurry up and post in the RPG so I can finally *say* something after all this time... there's nothing worse than a slow and boring RPG. And then there's WDKY9. I hope Atlantis and Harlequine read it tonight and find it postable... ^_________^
Gah. Even though I'm tired I HAVE TO GO. HAVE TO. Go. zzz....
