I forgot that Dreamwidth was a thing. Sorry to all of my dedicated readers. Truly, sincerely, I was like "what happened to this dude I used to stalk on LJ?" tonight and that person said they moved here, and I was like "DAMN everyone's getting a DW these days, why don't I have one?"

I then realized I did have one. Whoops. 

I've been really busy with work and striking a life-work stability balance.
This will absolutely go down the drain soon enough.

I am trying to find a job where my reaction is not "hey I'd rather put hot metal barbed wire in my body and use it to floss my organs than come in today." I didn't really outline why my current job is bad, but:

1) Managers lost my direct deposit twice
2) Managers try to schedule me for jobs/positions that I am not trained for
3) Managers throwing violent tantrums (harshly punching equipment) because of a failed audit which is a direct result of
4) Managers not fixing and/or updating equipment as necessary. 

I am regularly running out of product to cook and the oven we need in order to bake... as uh, bakers, broke down. Normally a manager would go "oh shit" and fix it as soon as possible, but not mine! He said "meh don't want to spend money to fix it" in an attempt to force us to stick to one oven.

And now there's...

5) Messed up, unhealthy schedules where I'm placed on overnight (11pm - 7am), then a day off, then 6am - 3:30pm. This sounds fine on paper until it goes into practice. If you go to bed at 8am the following day and wake up at 4pm, only to be forced to go back to bed in 6 goddamn hours to wake up AGAIN for a morning shift, would you be able to do it? Not likely!

And for honorary points:

- Filipina women are some of the worst, most aggressive, obnoxious people I have ever worked with. A large majority of them have never learned to ask, say please and thank you, and like to shrug off any responsibility onto others. There are some Filipinas who are really nice, but the large majority of them are petty and rude. I don't care if I get called out on being racist for this, this is my private journal to let off steam and that's what I've seen and observed. I don't want to work with them anymore. Interestingly this doesn't apply as much to the men, but I think it's a cultural thing... also the guys can be really mad when they speak to me in broken English, and I don't understand them, and then they assume I'm stupid. 

Guess what! I'm not stupid! You need to improve your English!

(I am OK with broken English speakers, and generally love to help, but not when people lose their cool and can't seem to understand boundaries/the ability to take a humble pill and try to improve.)

- Managers getting ME in trouble for burning food when they know damn well the oven isn't working properly. It doesn't cook evenly! The food on the bottom is perfect but in exchange the food on top is burnt. The type of work that is required of this type of baking typically doesn't allow me to check the food every 30 damn seconds!

I'm also paying the rent, the bills, pet food and everything else by myself on minimum wage. With my hours slashed that's going to start being tricky to fix. I really, really hope I get back into a situation where I'm no longer paying for everything by myself. I want to be able to start saving money.

Anyway so far this year has been better. I finally bought a PS4 this week and I'm SO HAPPY I can afford to buy video games again! Totally aiming to get the Switch for Christmas this year too!

Haha, you forgot you had a dreamwidth account? I suppose HAS been ages since I've seen you around here, so I guess it's understandable. XD

Sorry your work situation isn't the best. :/ Hope you can find a better job in the near future.

Yay games, though! Glad you're enjoying the PS4! And yes, join the Switch family! <3
