Feb. 10th, 2014 07:12 pmI guess sleeping for 12 hours really would help cure my sorry shoulder. I worked two shifts back to back and then passed out. I really enjoy both jobs because they're fun and allow me a certain amount of autonomy that I liked about working at god awful Tim Horton's. Terrible at both still, mainly because I'm still slow at stocking/facing and photo studio apparently takes more than 4 hours to explain.
The biggest difference is that unlike Tim Horton's people don't guilt trip or yell at me because I'm new. And that is an infinitely better thing. I remember my first shift the bitter old lady I hate screamed blue murder at me and talked down to me like I was a Bad Student/Dog/Daughter and publicly humiliated me really badly after my first shift alone. If I were as tuff as I am now I would've told her off and reported her. Oh well, now I know better.
But it's like out of one frying pan and into another in a way. Now I have a grumpy old man manager and he likes to come in at 5am for no reason and just be angry at everything. I couldn't understand why my co-workers liked to shit talk him during night crew and now I know. I knew he was grumpy, but one of my co-workers did something he really didn't like and he cussed the living shit out of him. Holy shit.
He's already given me shit over nothing (taking the bus, swiping "wrong") and he gave me shit for not showing up Saturday even though I wasn't on the schedule. I said I got confused because I wasn't written down on the schedule anywhere for Saturday. And he was like "But you knew to come in. Pat (senior overnight crew guy) told you that you were working." and I literally did not remember and I said "What, he did? I thought I misinformed him." and he was like "If you weren't working, it wouldn't have let you punch in." and all I could do was apologize.
A better manager would've shrugged it off as a miscommunication mainly because if I'm not written on the schedule or told directly which shifts I'm working, you're taking a chance. But he's the kind of asshole manager who likes to yell and Be Right and doesn't listen. I literally have to keep out of his way and sort of hide when he arrives. I know better now he's not someone who tries.
But at least he doesn't stalk each and every one of us down and just start yelling at us about our progress and generally prefers to just stomp around. So hiding away should be easy. I just have to be really extra anal about arriving on time and not screwing up again. It shouldn't be a problem and I ought to redeem myself after a month. Though if he decides to cuss me out I'm not sure how I'd take it, other than simply say "I understand what you're saying, however I really don't like the way you're talking to me about it." I dunno.
Anyway 48 hour work weeks are the norm right now and it's nice. I'm really enjoying it.
