That Thread About Work: "Custom kitchen deliveries...!"

Planet-man said:
Usually in my case it's like "yeah, come over at this time and we'll go do something", and then I've got ten minutes to spare which I can use to eat or get dressed or brush my teeth or something, but then they show up. It's frustrating.

See, I'd just eat or get dressed or brush my teeth with them around.

Then again, I'm used to and comfortable with random swing-throughs.
 
This was my explosion on Ice for what a stupid group at work has done. The one who doesn't get the point of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.

I got a new job today. Walked into the office and this was the conversation.

"I heard you were hiring."

"Well, the only opening is 4PM to midnight. Can you work that?"

"Yup."

"Alright, lets get started on the paperwork."

That was it. Easiest job interview ever. I'll be working full-time for the whole summer and saving up for when we move into the house next year. Score.

What are you doing?

My college. There are very few summer classes in the building I'll be cleaning so I won't have much to do.

Sounds cushy. When I was bussing at a bar a few years ago, I had to clean up after some guy who vomited in and around the urinal. The smell was awful.
 
So the hours at work are going to be changing, we've known about it for weeks now, but my boss hasn't told us what they're going to be. Well, we're supposed to call for our schedules on Tuesday, so we should know today what our new hours will be. So I called today and the dispatcher told us managament said we had to call back tomorrow. I start arguing with her but she kept giving me the "management said" deflection, so I told her to transfer me to my boss' voicemail where I just went off on him, asking why the hours aren't done yet if they've known for weeks what's going to happen, why we have to wait until tomorrow, how I need to know what's going to happen so I can decide if I need a new job. . .

Anyway, all their delays are getting them is less notice time from me if I decide to quit. Since they've put it off for so long and the new hours start next week and I still don't know, I'm calling tomorrow and if I don't like the hours I might just quit on the spot.

I hate getting jerked around.

Man, my ex-girlfriend bartends at a local dig, and a while back, a guy watery puked in the game's room, all over the pinball machines, and she had to clean it up. It was the most terrible thing ever.

So terrible, in fact, that I felt the need to move my pitcher to the other side of the bar while she cleaned it up.

It was a while before I could drink a smoothie.
 
So I'm working a 15 hour shift tomorrow.

This time yesterday I wasn't on this weeks schedule at all.

****ing job.
 
The number one thing you can learn at a job?

Build contacts.

I just had one of them email me out of the blue wit ha ton of great information for me.

Contacts are awesome.
 
Our work schedule is changing and I only get 28 hours this week, which makes three weeks in a row that I was short hours.

BUT, my boss says he's going to set me up with three 13-hour shifts starting next week, so I get basically a full work week with four days off, so that would rule, if it happens.

So out of the blue my old job called me and offered me a supervisor position at a new site opening up near my house (well, nearer than where I work now), so I immediately accepted it.
