I'm about to rant and rave about work, and I don't care if people don't want to hear it.
As a Sales Associate, I am not only everyone's bitch, I'm now a cashier. They just trained me today. This pretty much means, that now when they call for extra cashiers off the floor, I have go go up front as well, leaving my department behind. While I'm working as cashier, my department is devoid of its employee. I catch flack, because MY work in MY department is not getting done, because I'M up front as cashier because hey, them's the rules.
Pets is my department. It is my responsibility. I cannot get all my work done in my department, if I'm DOING SOMEONE ELSE'S JOB. I had two longcarts full of freight to work today at 2pm. They SAT THERE until 10pm. I had two carts of returns/misplaced items to get rid of. We are no longer allowed to use shopping carts, and there they were. Before I had even clocked in. I never did get to clean the fish tanks LIKE I WAS SUPPOSED TO. I did clean out the dead fish though. If it werent for Sam helping me out, I wouldn't have gotten as much as I did done.
Our store manager is an idiot. She comes to my department while I'm stocking cans of catfood. This is our conversation:
"Hey jason, why aren't you up front running register?"
"I was never trained, and I'm doing freight."
"Why weren't you trained yet? You've had all this time."
"I never got the time. I'm always working here."
"Well go up front. I'll have someone train you."
There was nobody working tonight in the adjacent department, and then Pets was empty. Wait, no. There was nobody in ANY of the adjacent departments, because Katie from hba was sent up to get trained as well. Pity they've been cutting actual cashiers' hours, and sending us up more often. Did you know that cashiers make more than us? This is their way of cutting costs, because of everyone stealing shit from walmart. The money has to come from somewhere.
I am VERY FUCKING HAPPY EYES I AM
(note: at this point, I don't care if people don't reply. I post this to remember.
what's that saying for anonymous, never forget, never forgive?) |

one of my siblings (outside the household) may end up with drug/attempted murder charges. another's fallen down again (he's the one with 12+ back surgeries),
my dad's ex girlfriend is being a bitch and having CYS come over to 'investigate' our house because her son can't stop his fucking lying mouth (he hates my bro-in-law, so he'll fuck everyone else over without a second thought.). She's also trying to hit him up for more child-support DESPITE knowing he barely has enough to pay it, and the bills.
dad's other ex-gf doesn't realize she's not his girlfriend anymore and can't seem to get the hint and is driving him nuts.
the kids here are driving EVERYONE insane and apparently don't give a shit about anyone's feelings, much less my own. When you're treated like dirt by a fucking five year old. so its funny that while everyone else has been depressed, edgy, and yelling all day, I suprisinly haven't, until a couple hours ago when I started vaccumming the downstairs. I had kids running and jumping right where I was cleaning, making a bigger mess than before. I wanted to beat the shit out of someone.
But, I didn't. When I finished, I left, and climbed up the mountain a little ways behind our house and just sat there, overlooking the city. This is 2008 you fucking dolt of a people. Don't you have anything better to do than to fuck our family over to thoroughly? |

if i told you today was one of the lousiest days i've had this entire year, would you care?
lets just say these few things. the new ICS guy who's been working in pets doesn't care about his fucking job and has been bullshitting all morning while me and Atim busted our asses to get stuff done. There were so many customers today buying shit and generally getting in the way that they were taking more crap than I could stock the shelves with. Most of Pets dept was literally fucking EMPTY, and every five minutes, the section of aisle that i had just cleaned up, had gotten wrecked again.
around quarter til seven, one of my managers tells me to go up front and help cashiers. I told him that I was literally the only person in the corner of the store. I was covering HBA and Toys because they were on lunch. He said 'oh, it'll be alright'. bullshit.
and i'm still selling and catching fish in all of this. when I clocked out at 9pm tonight, my department was a total fucking wreck, and the cart of breakpacks (misc crap boxes) was STILL yet untouched from last night because hey hey, new ics guy didn't want to do it
was talking to jarrot from toys about it later on and he tried to help me calm down. Helped a little, but I was still depressed and annoyed with the entire night
my jaw's been killing me all night despite a ton of tylenol and orajel. I'm fit to be tied e.e. that's about it though. that's six hours.
fuck formatting and fuck spellcheck.

It seems I've forgotten that I still had an account here. Six months fly by when you're up to your tits in stress. Still working at Walmart, still in the Pets department, no show of anything that actually uses my MM degree yet. It seems that 'salesfloor associate' means you're the company's bitch and errand boy. I'm not dead, just hanging in until life deals me an ace or at the very least, a four of clubs.
Oh, and its fucking cold out and I both love and hate it. |

i seem to have the naivety to see the small things others overlook, even the seemingly unimportant. While everyone is worrying about what their day will bring, i'm enjoying the cool breeze of summer, the green of the trees, the way the world moves past my window. this is not to say that i single-mindedly watch the world pass me by; i am active in it in my own way.when i smile, you smile. when i accomplish anything, it makes me feel like i'm not incompetent, that i'm worth something. i take pride in being able to face what challenges face me. i take each day one at a time. i may not be perfect, especially in the eyes of others, but this does not bring me down. i realize that living is a gift that must be cherished. even when the world is going down in flames, my iceberg floats steadily along the sea.
i'm not a tree-hugging hippy. i'm just coping with life. |

walmart has been severely understaffed lately, or at least the schedules are so screwed up. my co-worker in pets had to run cashiers all night, leaving me to do pets alone. another co-worker in the department next to us had to go home early for an emergency, leaving me to cover for them as well. nobody in the other two departmetns near us when i went to lunch, so there was not one single associate on the floor of the ENTIRE east wing of walmart. several phone calls, selling fish to several customers one after the other later, i finally get to do some zoning, then rush to get my garbage done before i had to clock out. all through the entire day though, was the annoying constant beeping of the floodlights malfunctioning. we called maintinence to fix it several times and they never did.
for anyone wondering, i have been working at walmart for well over six weeks now. many of my fellow associates are quite cool and helpful, and easy to get along with. Most of the customers I've dealt with have been kind and courteous to me, and patient. The customers I have not met for some reason are lazy or apathetic becuase i keep finding stupid crap strewn among my designated department. McDonalds cups in dry cat-food. pants in canned food. (unrelated: used condoms inside a blender. not kidding), and other assorted crap.
and while working the pets department is not hard, there is one section i loathe. It's not canned foods. It's not the 50lb bags of dog food. it's not selling fish, cleaning out dead fish, or feeding fish. It's the 8ft section of dog TOYS. yes, those little squeaky toys of various design and sounds, some of which electronic, others made of latex or felt. people when they play with them, pick them up, or whatever, never ever ever put them back where they got them. (this goes the same with all other aisles but moreso here) it took me over two hours to tear that whole section apart and put it back together properly. ah the joys of retail.
i don't give a shit if you have a difficult time reading this, as i am extremely exhausted and must repeat this routine for the rest of the week. this is rf signing off, and seig heil walmart! |

Well, I've been working at Walmart for at least a week now.
I'm still having fun at least. Busy as hell. Lot of work to do even in Pets. Today was my first day solo. I was the only person in Pets all day. And for most of the day, I had to cover for Toys as well because the guy didn't show up until afternoon shift. I had morning 7am-4pm. So I ran around all day, organizing our department's section in the back room, carrying out stock items, cleaning up the aisles, tidy up the shelves, run for claims out front, answer phone calls, care for and sell the fish, and poke fun at the cosmetics girls next door. :P So I'm off monday, and go back tuesday. Fun Fun.
Edit: Almost forgot. I've met only one stupid customer so far. She took the dog shirt off the cardboard hanger right in front of me and when she was done looking at it, tossed it and the hanger atop the box of dog toys. IN FRONT OF ME. teenagers.
Also, I did more stuff. Anthro Guilmon in Second Life: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55277667/ |

Well, we didn't go to the MCR (My Chemical Romance) concert today. It was cancelled. Seems that both members of MCR and Muse got food poisoning after a gig down in Virginia, so they're going to reschedule the next pittsburg concert at a later date.

Posted for truth.
(00:12:56) MNB: My observation, as it is, might be slightly limited, but I've noticed that you have a somewhat... Well, fawning attitude. And this tends to attract certain people who take advantage of this attribute in people. And when this is exploited... Well, it can sort of chip away at a person's ego and sense of self-respect. And they tend to get depressed, emotional, etc. This is just my own observation, so take it as you will.
(00:15:22) MNB: I'm not saying that being friendly is a bad thing... But it might be in your best interest as to who you give your love and attention to. I can tell you're a decent guy, you really are. You've got a level head on your shoulders, which I can totally dig.
(00:16:26) rf`: i know i have a bit of a fawning attitude. that's just the kind of person I am. The problem isn't that others are exploiting me in any way. The problem is that I'm getting worked up over things that don't even involve me, but I still see around me.
(00:17:26) rf`: especially things that involve my friends. they (i'm quite sure) enjoy it (else they wouldn't be doing it in the first place), but I don't, and that difference is what's gnawing at me. Not sure if that's the best way to put it. never was the best with words
(00:21:12) MNB: Sometimes, and I know this sounds horrible man... You need to be a dick if you wanna keep your sanity.
(00:21:59) MNB: Don't let everything bug you, it really doesn't help yourself if you let everyone else's problems bother you. |

cant for the life of me figure out why i'm depressed tonight. probably my bowels being bitchy, being left out in a few places, net's always on the fritz, and everytime i say no to sex, everyone else pushes me closer to it.

All the confusion and paperwork with my school, just to prove to the Social Security offices in my town, just to prove to them that I exist and am who I say I am, just to get a replacement SS card. And here, I find out that office gave me the WRONG paperwork for my registrar to fill out, and also found out that it really wasn't necessary in the first place. All I have to do is get my school ID renewed (not hard) and then the SS office will accept it and voila.. Now to get a replacement birth certificate... ugh.
To top it off, In two weeks comes my Mock interview for Portfolio class (which means suit and tie, resume and portfolio (of which I've yet to start)), my capstone project is almost finished--but I still have to do ALLLLL the documentation for it, and get my presentation ready for the week after, aaand.. shit.. my online course. I know for sure that I've failed it, without a doubt. BUT, I'll keep working on it for as long as I can.. wheee 9.9
AND. I need to get a job soon. We're getting piled so badly on debt that they're going to shut a lot of utilities off here, and there's a possibility we may lose the house.
So yeah, I'm a wreck right now. |

I've been run down all week. Work piling up here at school, family crises all over the place. My one sister who came up with her husband and two and a half children from Arkansas, have already left, going BACK to arkansas, because my OTHER sister who lives up here is a life-ruining bitch. Dammit they said they'd visit before they left and they didn't.
