Ho Hum

Is it me or is the internet/computer thing not as interesting as it was before. I sit here staring at my monitor trying to think of something to look up. After checking email...What is there to do?? My IM's are up but there is never anyone online (aim: jeanninehugs - yahoo: gems4fun - if you would like to add me to your list I wouldn't mind one bit) or visible so there is no one to talk too.....There just isn't anything to do here anymore. Or am I missing it?? Ugh..I don't know.

I'm still bored with life right now. Still looking for a hobby, still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I've been doing a little bit more to better myself like going to Curves on a somewhat regular basis and doing weight watchers (10 lbs gone....Go me) were even going to be going to church now. Fun stuff all around if you ask me. (well church is a blast.....Believe it or not) I just wish there was something to do that didn't cost so much damn money. I going to stop complaining now......

lets see.....What going on. Not to much really. Its starting to get cold out and as much as I would rather it be cold than hot.....Its kind hitting me fast. Not so much the cold but the fact that the holidays are here. 3 weeks to Thanksgiving. And then the day after....lordhelpmenow.... And then a month later its Christmas!!! YIKES!

work is getting on my nerves. Well actually its my store manager. He's such a prick. Sorry for being so vulgar but he is. He is the most egotistical, self righteous, thinks he knows it all bastard!! Ugh...He pisses me off. First of all he's not a people person. He doesn't know how to talk to people or listen. If its not HIS idea.....Its not a good one. He'll tell you do something then make you do over again. He gives and then takes it back and if he's done with the conversation that you might be having with him that he doesn't like.....He walks away as if to say your annoying me. grrrrr he makes me mad sometimes.

to drag this entry let me explain a bit about my job. (so if talking about my job bores you to tears.....I would just go on to the next journal)

I am the Manager of Layaway. (my primary job...I have others) The holiday season is MY SEASON. This is my chance to shine and prove myself as a manager and as an associate who cares about her job and doing it right. I've been doing this for over 2 years now and every year gets better. So I must be doing something right, right? Ok

I have bins in the back warehouse to store all the layaways we get. I have 7 racks (they are like walls that move from left to right). Each rack is divided into 12 shelves (3 columns down, 4 rows across) and each shelf (bin) is fairly large and can hold about 15 to 20 boxes, depending on the size of the box. Are you with me so far? So basically I have 7 movable racks that we use both sides too which gives me 16 walls of bins (2 per rack) are you with me so far?

for the holiday season which for me starts in September these racks get filled up pretty quickly and with organization and time.....I keep those bins in good order. These bins are located in the warehouse in the back of the store. There are several other racks in the warehouse that are empty for most of the year and are given to me for the holiday season. Last year at this time we had almost the entire warehouse filled. This year, because I learned from last years mistakes I haven't needed the extra bins until now. So I ask shithead when I can start using them (he took the grids out that make the shelf so that nobody would use them) and he gave me one wall which I was very happy to have. However they came with conditions....So I listened.

this is all I'm getting for 2 weeks (which means don't ask) and I must use all the space available in the other bins first.

the reason I ask for the extra space is because I HAVE NO ROOM IN THE OTHER BINS YOU ASSHOLE!!!! :o) I currently have over $275,000.00 worth of layway in my bins right now. No exaggeration.

so he gives me this extra space then tells me I can't use it. Such a moron . So I do what I do best and don't listen and use it anyway, listen to him whine like a baby, I make my point and he walks away. One of these days I'm going to take my badge off and give it to him and tell him to do it. I'm done. I just really hope I have a job lined up when I do...LOL

anyway...he's like that with everybody. I was around when one of the associates (another dept manager) was asking him to figure out a problem and he insisted there was no problem and there clearly was.....And he just walked away cuz he didn't want to deal with it anymore. Like I said....Prick.

and that completes my entry for today......buh bye

:o)
